M. Thenardier Would Be Proud



April 15, 2018

The hospitality industry is getting extremely creative about ways to charge fees. An article I read today mentioned a hotel that charged an extra $7 for a room on the top floor.

It reminded me of the innkeeper in the musical version of “Les Miserables”:

“Charge ’em for the lice, extra for the mice, two percent for looking in the mirror twice.
 Here a little slice, there a little cut, three percent for sleeping with the window shut!”



Let’s hope none of these creative geniuses ever saw “Sweeney Todd.”
