To take the body lotion and soap from a £250 a night hotel? They have asked for it back!!!

[mum2sons]

DH and I spent our wedding anniversary in a v expensive boutique hotel. I took the body lotion and soap home as I usually would do (sad, but I get v excited about these things!)Yesterday we received a letter from the hotel asking for us to send the 2 items back for the future enjoyment of guests!!! Talk about humiliation! Looking forward to MNetters views

You might not 'need' them, but you bet your boots that everyone travelling first class with Virgin or BA or anyone takes the little toiletries bag home with them. And no, it isn't stealing, they give them to you!

lolol at luxury plastic pump dispensers

I always make dh get the toiletries for me when he's away on business - he never uses any of it and that's what it's there for!

oooooooh I think so.

they all take the freebies at fashion shows so a bit of Gilchrist and Soames, why not?

They'd probably give em as Christmas gifts, the richer you are the tighter you are!

Go Aloha, agree with you

rofl at nulnulcat giving us top tips for how not to get caught for stealing hotel toiletries

Tut. Can't believe you're all ignoring my half a line...

Started reading this thread at work this morning during a quiet spell. Cannot believe it's still going !!!

you scavengers

I havn't looked at what these things look like but get real, if you need it that much, you're just sad!

Exactly, if you want it that badly just buy it! £17.50 isnt exactly breaking the bank when youve paid so much for your room.
The dispensers are not cheap, and the hotel has every right to ask for them back. It is unreasonable to think that is unfair.

she doesn't need them - she paid top dollar for a swanky hotel and wanted to use the toiletries. That's what everyone does at hotels - they use the stuff and take home what they haven't used. She only did what most people do when they stay at a hotel.

Had she been asked not to take the plastic bottles, she wouldn't have done!

seems weird to nick the stuff to me..

strange

She wasn't offered the option to buy. And the pump dispensers are not expensive!
Of course celebs take freebies. Do bears relieve themselves in woodland regions?

have you never taken/used the toiletries when you've stayed in a hotel?

I can't recall a time when I've stayed in a hotel and not done tbh

There is a Berlin Wall between those of us who think hotel goodies are freebies and those who don't

no i wouldn't use communal toiletries though tbh

No, its not what everyone does in hotels.

it's even sadder to take doll sized shampoos at least she took a usable amount - you know it makes sense

LOL yes very very very sad.

you're missing a trick there then

(which side are you on Jan? did I tell you, our bathroom is about to be done - at last. Hope your roof is in one piece!)

I do btw

any freebies and I'm in there

What I don't understand is why they weren't fixed ? You know how the Molton Brown liquid soap and handcream always is in loos in nce places - in those metal bracket things ! you just can't take them out so it's not an issue !

FWIW I sometimes take the travel sized ones to keep in my sponge bag for weekends away - but wouldn't take a full size one !

but sea, they are in bottles.

It's not like cleaning your face with a bar of soap someone else has used to clean their backside.

Oh I would be a taker, fis (if we ever went to a hotel )

My roof still waiting till next year - good luck with your bathroom

that's no surprise though NB next time dont' like the camera zoom in too much on your tightened skin
