To be ashamed?

[ILoveAndrew]

I booked and paid for my grandparents to visit a beloved hotel of mine. It's a small place (around 8 bedrooms) run by a couple and this was their first time visiting.

For breakfast, you can choose a continental in the room or to dine in the dining room. My grandparents chose the continental in the room, which is delivered on a tray and includes a selection of juices in small individual glass bottles. My grandmother told me today that she had brought two of the bottles home as she liked them. I stay at this hotel a lot and the fact she stole something that isn't there to be taken makes me pissed off TBH. She wouldn't steal a plate or a cup, but she thought these bottles were fair game.

AIBU?

If it was the TV and dressing gowns, sure, but a couple of bottles....no. Let the oldies have a bit of fun.

Unless your basic maths fails you, the very youngest granny could be in this scenario is in her 50s.

I would say it's far more likely shes older. But you carry on with your campaign.

Yes it’s embarrassing! I know people with no shame in stealing towels etc!

Cut them out of your life forever!

Have they not seen Friends.

Hairdryer no no no shampoos ah yes yes yes!

That episode of friends was my first thought upon opening this thread 😁

Just buy replacements off eBay and put them in a cupboard or under the bed the next time you’re there. They’ll think they were there all along, (but might fire the cleaner if they have one).

Exactly. If OP’s Gran can buy them on eBay for a couple of quid, so can the hotel. Unless it’s the only hotel in the world with a mark-up of less than £4 per room, they’re still in profit.

Bear in mind this generation havent been anywhere in over 2 years.

Why haven't they been anywhere?

I'd sigh and never think of it again.
