A great idea.....

Thats a shity idea! If thats your thinking then why not reverse the bottom fitted sheet on the beds so it makes less wash for housekeeping. Why not squeeze leftover shampoo into 5 gal buckets and refill the small plastic containers. If you want to figure something out. Try to come up with a better method of reusing throw pillows that are reused on the beds. Everyone throws them off the bed onto the floor. The last guest could have used these for so many things I really don't even want to think about. Then the maid comes in and puts the pillows back on the bed for the next guest. I also hate to think of how many people touched the remote control. My job when traveling is, after I clog the toilet I have to call down to the front desk and explain how my wife clogged it. Then ask for someone to come up and unclog the toilet.
 
I also forgot one more point. When I'm leaving the hotel room carrying three bags I can always hear my wife calling out to me. She is saying Honey? did you get the toilet paper off the roll and the full roll under the sink. Honey ? Do you have room in your suitcase for a full box of Kleenex. Honey? did you get the soap, shampoo, conditioner and lotion off the counter. Honey ? did you get the coffee and tea off the counter. ...........Just sayin'
 
I stay in hotels probably 60 nights or more a year and it doesn't even cross my mind to pack up the toiletries or everything else that isn't nailed down. What in gods name inspires the idea to pack up tiny portions of soap, conditioner and hand cream?
Growning up with Parents that lived through the Great Depression. When I was a kid we had to hear stories about how hard life was during those times. People had to pinch pennies and not waste anything. I remember my Mom simmering a whole chicken in a pot to get a broth and then putting the chicken in the oven for a roast chicken dinner for the main meal. She would serve the broth with cold egg noodles to cool down the hot broth. The idea was to fill you up with the soup half way before the main meal was served. I think the idea is "waste not want not" You paid for it way not take it. I always laughed when I looked into our bathroom closet. I would see the soap my wife took from Disney World 25 years ago.
