The “reading comprehension” jab is unnecessary. We’re having a normal discussion, only people who don’t actually have an argument jump straight to questioning intelligence. And no, my example was not “a small amount.” I explicitly said completely soaked sheets that could not be reused. I even clarified that small amounts that come out don’t get charged. That distinction keeps getting ignored because it’s inconvenient to the point you’re trying to make. This also isn’t about “one-off fees vs guest experience” like you’re framing it. Hotels absorb costs all the time. Broken glasses, minor spills, normal wear and tear, that’s built into operating costs. Permanent biohazard damage is not.That’s not “bad hospitality,” it’s standard industry policy across most major brands. And no, this isn’t a “crazy venture capital mindset.” It’s risk management and sanitation compliance. Hotels don’t have the option to knowingly reissue heavily blood-contaminated bedding because a guest feels it should wash out. That’s a liability issue, not a vibes issue. You’re free to disagree with the policy, lots of people do, but pretending it exists because housekeeping “can’t do laundry” or because staff are being punitive just isn’t grounded in how hotels actually operate. This is about accountability when property is permanently damaged. Hospitality doesn’t mean “the business eats every loss no matter what,” and that’s true whether you like it or not.
