Summary of thread...

Toiletries from B&B stolen

OP comes clean but B&B refuse to wash their hands of it, general consensus of MSE posters is that he's having a bubble

But unless they tell them prior to booking that they must only use 25 ml (or similar), the customer could empty that entire bottle down the sink and theres nothing the B&B could do about it.

But then where does it say that customers are allowed to take the empty containers (which would then justify and allow such use eg pouring 7 days worth down a sink). It doesn't does it! Therefore one should not assume that that the entire contents and the containers should be taken.

Decency and honesty? get a grip! i dont take anything else from hotels apart from the complimentary toiletries that considering the price of the room i feel i am entitled to take home and finish them rather than them being thrown away! in this instance as the bottle were larger perhaps it was a mistake. But i still feel that being charged £10 is ridiculous really.

Do you really think taking 2 x 250ml bottles of shower gel/shampoo - that clearly aren't complimentary - was decent behaviour?

Do you think you behaved honestly?

I'm assuming you never wash your hands in public restrooms. Who knows what a previous occupant has done with the liquid soap.

Which does not matter if you use the soap for their intended use of washing your hands

Restroom? I don't go there for a rest, usually. Don't you mean public toilets?

It depends on your upbringing what you refer to them.

I'm surprised you don't just refer to them as "the sh**er!"

They're called comfort rooms in some countries. :rotfl:
