Some properties have elected to under-achieve

I just stayed at the full service Marriott Racine (not exactly a star in the Marriott chain but...). This morning, there was not a paper at my Concierge Level room door. When I innocently asked "what happened to the paper" at the CL, the attendant gave the b.s. answer, "Oh, we've decided to go green, everybody reads the news online, this was a directive from Marriott..." I then went down to the front desk where they informed me that they get ten USATodays (don't know about the WSJ) and they were long gone. I spoke with the MOD to voice my complaint. She was very nice about it (as was I), but I wanted to let them know that this was noticed.

The Marriott web site (linked to in the original post in this thread), says that limited service properties will be affected by the program starting April 20 and full service on June 1. It also says that newspaper deliveries will continue at FS properties.

Clearly some properties don't get the message - from corporate or their customers.
