While I think anyone stupid enough to try and use a marriott employee discount rate at a marriott hotel when they are not employed by marriott should have their rate increased. On the other hand, who cares if someone who works for IBM used a Citibank discount to lower their rate.
This replier suffers from the "World According to Garp" syndrome. I tend to suffer from it myself, now and again.
Whatever is okay in his/her book, is okay for the rest of the world to do. But, whatever he/she thinks is NOT acceptable, it is NOT acceptable for anyone else either. Screwy standards based on justification of what one feels is okay to do him/herself and no other consideration used. Period.
Or, also know as, the "World According to Garp" syndrome.
Ha!
