Many, many times I´ve tried to hang the towels on the rack and still they´ve given me new ones every day. What a waste, IMO.
As we can see, customers have very different preferences.
I do not reuse towels at home, so I don't expect to reuse them at hotels. Before anyone flames me for wasting water, I have also lowered the water flow into my home, so I waste less water washing dishes, taking showers, etc. A frequent topic on my neighborhood email list is how expensive water is here in Atlanta. (For those not from here, you probably have no idea. Water/Sewage is our most expensive utility.) While most of my neighbors average $300/mo for water, and many have had bills in the four digits, mine rarely goes over $25, with the occasional $35 month.
My one indulgence is having clean towels after every shower. Budgeting my water usage to be both responsible and inclusionary of this indulgence doesn't make me wasteful.
