To think it’s okay to take certain things from a hotel?

It’s just the working class who normally steal 🙄ffs

I once broke a lamp, they charged me €46 I should of taken it home and glued it back together as a souvenir.

I think it’s tacky. Most of the hotels I stay in have a discreet sign now explaining you can purchase toiletries etc if you’d like - obviously also a subtle way to also explain you’ll be charged if they’re taken.

I once took a lamp 😆

in real life I do think batteries and bulbs probably are a step too far…salt (fair game haha!)

I particularly liked the bit about not taking the remote but the batteries were fair game, don’t steal the lamp but it’s OK to take the bulb, and, hilariously, don’t take the salt cellar but it’s OK to take the salt !!

haven’t you seen the friends episode where Ross explains this very well 🤣

we’d only ever take the things like tea, coffee, and toiletries if they are single use and not attached to a wall.

I've stayed in some high-end hotels where everything is for sale. So if you like something you can buy it new at Reception and it will be sent to your home or you can take it then. Including the beds and chairs. However... This means if you take anything from the room they will bill you the full price of the item.

Apparently the amount of theft it curtailed was untrue... But they've also had people wanting to buy the pillows or duvets or in one case, the bed. My husband sleeps on Travelodge pillows that I bought online so actually I wish more hotels would offer this. I'm sure you'd have happily paid for the mugs etc if you'd been able to.

I don't ever use the hotel toiletries. I take the little ones to put in the Blessings Bags my daughter and I pass out to homeless people.

And nice hotels tend to have nice toiletries.

Crazy that people do this 😯

I would never think to take anything from a hotel even toiletries I find it ridiculous that people would even steal the likes of cups towels mugs etc

Including my son's clothes he's grown out of, perfect for their or neighbours of friends' kids too

You dump old clothes in hotel rooms? How bizarre.

I always try and take worn out old undies, bras, sleepwear etc if travelling via a flight so I can dump there and not have to cart home in luggage (and leaves room for extra stuff I may buy when travelling), but I put those in the rubbish bins in the room. Anything decent I don’t want, kids clothes when they were young and grown out of, I’d take to a charity shop at home, not bag them up and dump them in hotels for staff to deal with!

Slippers if you must, and you've worn them during your stay (they're not used again).

This.

Last hotel I stayed in they had big bottles of shampoo, conditioner and douche gel fixed to the wall in the shower. Good products too, eco.

Hurrah for eco-friendly hotels.

There's tons of plastic crap sloshing about in the world's oceans.

You can always buy those small bottles in chemists to fill your shampoo etc. at home to take with you. I leave them for the fabulous ladies who clean my rooms.

Including my son's clothes he's grown out of, perfect for their or neighbours of friends' kids too.

Just wow. You’re clearly a chav who doesn’t have the faintest idea how to behave in civilised society. Staggered that you are even asking this question.

Tell me you're a Scouser without telling me you're a Scouser.

Went for a meal at pizza hut with colleagues from Speke once. They all seemed perfectly nice people at work, reception staff with responsibility for taking money and cashing up etc. They stole all the cutlery and crockery and then tried to leave without paying. The funny thing was that they were so matter of fact about it, it didn't occur that they should not do this in front of colleagues.

In her purse? Your wine glasses must have been teeny-tiny

Are you the person that sat at our table at a wedding and put the wine glasses in your purse? Of course it’s not ok!

That’s scruffy as. Shower caps and camomile teabags is my limit.

We went to the Legoland castle hotel at they've a price list on the wall of everything you will be charged for if missing in the room. The quilt cover was listed and was 250.00!
Companies need to replace these items if yoy take them, even the glasses so no. I wouldn't take this stuff.

Ok to take small bottles of shampoo / soap / tea bags / slippers - ie consumables. Theft to take glasses / spoons / soft toys / towels.

i recently stayed in a hotel with big bottles of shampoo and a sign saying if you take they will charge your credit card…

Mugs, glasses, towels & Robes are theft! Toiletries are intended for your use.

I've noticed this, usually in fancy hotels, which I found a bit off-putting - a high end hotel is a treat for me and the price lists/price labels were really prominent so I felt like I was in a department store or being treated as a potential thief!

I think part of the reason is that nicer places have stuff people may want to buy, like particularly soft bedlinen - the price lists are because they know some people will want W hotel towels at home, not necessarily that people were stealing... Although rich people are always the tightest so who knows!

I looove the mini toiletries, perfect for the gym. Biscuits and tea bags also come home with me.

Complimentary toiletries - Yes
Complimentary slippers - Yes
Tea/Coffee - Yes (if you are that desperate)
Everything else -No
It's stealing, plain and simple. Would you steal these glasses from a shop?

Obviously it stops well before that line! But there are many, many scummy people in the world.
