Can someone explain why you’d want a used pillow? I guess if you travel enough you’re used to it, but still seems pretty gross.

^ I’ve seen too many people doing petty theft who don’t need to. Reminds me of a guy at a former job who made over $200K/yr who got caught stealing office supplies for home, was warned about it, then fired for continuing it. We’re talking about taking staples and printer paper.

I did see one case at PwC where a complaint from a hotel’s manager regarding theft of something from a room resulted in a termination and a police complaint (assume it was something of higher value) but what a stupid reason to be fired. Your expenses are all paid by someone else, you earn points on top of that, you’re well paid, but it’s still not enough.

PwC 1 - well said...expenses paid, points earned, well paid and yet not enough for some folks 🙃🙃

They are all half siblings (4 boys 30-11) so they all don’t care including my partner. FIL also verbally abuses MIL in front of us. Yet they all want to please him constantly. It’s just bad.
