Bottled Water in Hotels

Has anyone noticed the bottled water that some hotels leave in your room now--and then they slap a $3.50 price tag on the side of it?

Do they think we're that stupid? You can walk right down the hall to the vending machine and get one for $1. I think they're hoping people don't see that price tag and trying to trick people into thinking it's free!

That you have to pay a dollar for one is kinda stupid too... what they are counting on is the business traveller who can expense off a $3.50 bottle of water.
