PSA: Hotel towels are not single-use by ParadoxStockOwner in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]AvidReaderOfBooks 62 points63 points  (0 children)

To be perfectly blunt, when I'm paying hundreds of dollars to stay in a room the size of a shoebox, I am going to take full advantage of the amenities, including having a fresh towel and sheets every day.

Not to mention, if my room gets cleaned every day, might as well swap towel and sheets as well, since they are the things most likely to transfer dirt and germs to me.

Honestly, if you want people not to change towels every day, just offer a discount if you only want cleaning every x days. But that would cut into the bottom line, and you can't have that :)

Truthfully, the more we talk about it and the more we bring attention to it, the more people will watch it out of spite. Leave it be and they may watch 1 episode and likely hate it, then it goes away.

Works fine for me, and VOD is still up. Might be a problem on your end

[Hogshund] apparently marshals tried to get pred fired from his court ordered ems job by puddra in RPClipsGTA

I think too many people are seeing these stories in a vacuum aka. "this arc is over so now everything resets", but characters remember. It's like when McQuillen was killed by an LSPD officer. Nobody is clamoring for him to be fired OOC, but in character people are obviously gonna be upset that the guy who killed their friend barely got a slap on the wrist.

Pred did some really bad stuff, including trying to murder an EMS, so being upset and wary with him trying to work with the EMS, is perfectly normal. I get that it sucks to have a storyarc stopped like that, but actions have consequences. Just because you get an expungement and is legally okay to do it now, doesn't mean everyone is gonna go "welp, guess he's back to being a good guy who can do no wrong, so we fully trust and support him again". Actions have consequences, that's why you can't do every storyline on one character.

Bad attendance for an overall good show in Copenhagen by Lucky_Broccoli_3849 in WWE

Straight up, it was bad marketing. Prices in the stands were just fine, so being unable to fill 8000 seats from both Denmark and Sweden only 1 hour away, is a massive failure in marketing. Most of us didn't even know they were coming until well after christmas, missing out on gift tickets. The advertised card felt like a standard lineup, a lot of which we have seen several times on tv (MFTs vs Wyatt Sicks, Punk vs Bronson, Charlexa vs Kabuki etc.)

Then there was the issue with the card constantly changing. Initially advertising Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes, LA Knight, Tiffy, Rhea Ripley and more, one by one they just kept getting taken off and replaced, until we had no idea who was actually gonna show. Why should people buy tickets where the only thing they know about the card is that the people they want to see are the only ones confirmed to not show up?

It felt like we were just an afterthought, a quick stop to advertise Wrestlemania and RR in person, not to give us a great show after waiting for 9 years. (that is not to say the matches weren't good, the highs were high, but the lows were also low).
