lol fuck these people and these hotels. It’s not about not smoking, it’s about charging more money.
How is this a plus for guests wtff
Devils advocate, I guess the room won’t smell like shit
Oh it will.
Why would companies who willingly scam you wish to spend money to keep their rooms nice, when they're straight up stealing from their guests?
Have you never watched Hotel Hell?
What’s that guy doing?
"That guy"?
I'm offended on behalf of anyone who's ever cooked or worked in hospitality.
"That guy" is Gordon Ramsay, and he's pulling the firealarm, because the hotel is too filthy for people to actually be habiting it.
You know shit is bad when you're in restaurant/hotel and you see Gordon Ramsay.
Here's the full episode where the gif is from (not only is Gordon pretty good at cooking, he's great at utilising social media and YouTube as well)
VILE Hotel Forces Gordon To Pull Fire Alarm | Hotel Hell FULL EPISODE
Edit if you want the specific bit, here's the 30 seconds preceding the pulling of the alarm and then the alarm (idk if the timestamp works, he pulls the alarm at 28:08)
Another one to add to the list whenever I hear tech lobbyists shout about how unregulated capitalism breeds innovation.
I tend to huff arsenic trioxide when I stay at a hotel. Will the hotel smoke detectors fine me for that?
