When did Marriott get so cheap? I’m staying at a Westin hotel in Houston and the free breakfast for ambassadors includes coffee, toast and water. They also charged me $10 a day for a microwave. I’ve never been charged for a microwave at any hotel… EVER!

Apparently they’ve been doing this before the pandemic. That’s what the front desk person said

I think this started a few years back, I remember them telling me the fee for microwave and I’m like … da fuq

Yea I mean even though I’m not paying out of my pocket, I’m not giving them this kind of money 🙄

Might be a location specific thing.

Stayed recently at the Distill hotel in Louisville. Enjoyed a free drink at night, generous breakfast credit and free coffee service in the morning.

Hilton charges $25/day for a microwave or refrigerator. But usually will waive it for diamond members.

Hello Fishes,

I have received an offer as SD1 at Amazon Gurgaon. I have 1 yr and 6 months of experience. I did my BTech in computer science from 2016-20. I had some active backlogs as well. Due to covid, many exams were not conducted and as for the ones that did happen, the results are taking forever to come. Right now I have one backlog and the result is yet to be announced. I am positive I will pass. Will this affect my offer from Amazon during background check as I am yet to receive degree?
