I once asked in a hotel if they would do me a packed lunch ( an advertised service) I was told just to make one up myself from the breakfast buffet and I wasn't charged
IMO taking the toiletries is wrong in general but clearly Mrs TJ did not share my view
Thols2... That's embarrassing...you know me then? 😉
I used to work away a lot and stay in some nice hotels. One of my work colleagues would often steal towels. Not just one or two, but pretty much an entire suitcase full 🤣 On a regular basis. Gawd knows why he needed so many 🤷♀️
Ok to take everything. They will just bill your card after you leave if you take anything they are unhappy with.
Some hotels even encourage you to take the robes these days. Missed sales opportunity for those that don’t.
I don’t know why you’d do it tbh, the tea is generally nasty and the coffee instant.
I have a mental picture of you looking like the Niles character from Frasier. 😁
How about taking the toilet rolls?
Why stop at the teabags and coffee sachets, when you can have the containers they sit in too. As well as the kettle, the towels, and everything else not nailed down.

Non-dairy creamer can get in the sea though. “Tastes just like real milk!” Know what else tastes just like real milk? Real milk. (And no it %^&*ing doesn’t.)
Disgusting stuff! 😖 I’d rather have both tea and coffee black than use anything like that; UHT milk is equally as bad.
Also, consumables are what they’re used for, to be consumed; where, exactly, does it say that they have to be consumed in the hotel room?
Run a holiday cottage and provide a 'welcome pack' - nice coffee, biscuits, milk of their choice, flowers but also a little tray of different teas, instant coffee sachets, hot chocolates, sugars etc. Surprisingly only once in 3 seasons has it been cleared out. Mostly the good stuff goes but occasionally the nice coffee is left. Always surprised non coffee drinkers don't take it as a gift for someone, it's £7.50 a pack RRP. But mostly the cheaper stuff is dipped into but mostly left.
A thought for the sweepers who say it doesn't matter where you use it, it was left for you to use. I'd argue, they gave you the volumes they did to give you choice. It would be great for two tea only drinkers to have a enough tea for their stay. Same for coffee etc. When you go to a hotel and there is not enough say coffee for your stay you could blame the hotel, but I'd say the sweepers are too who'd Nick it all if they left more.
Forgot to say, if you are eating breakfast at the same hotel and it's a buffet job and you deliberately sneak a few extra croissant for lunch I think most of us do it sneakily - we know it's basically theft. Very few would be brazen enough to take a couple of flasks along and pinch all the orange juice. But....it was put out for you to use so surely its yours all bought and paid for. In that scenario I think most of us have enough self awareness to realise it's all put out so you have a choice of what you want and taking more than that is theft. I'm not sure why that would change because you are in the room - apart from people's morals slip a bit when out of sight.
