Room service lady: "There is a charge of $6.40 per glass."
Me: "I don't want to buy them -- I just want to use them."
Room service lady: "Sir, there is a charge of $6.40 per glass. You still want 'em?"
It is at that point that I would quickly call the front desk and ask to speak to a manager and inform him that I expect free glasses to be delivered to my room quickly.
I used to stay at LPM 3-4 days per week for months on end, and this surprises me very much.
FWIW, moving one of the "real" glasses to the bathroom sink (in place of a shot glass) was part of my weekly check-in routine at this property.
