Well, it's true that travelling solo one does not require a dining table for eight and seating for 12 more, along with several beds, multiple baths, and a service kitchen. Yet when that, or some lesser "excess" is bestowed, even as simple as an amenity from management, I take it as something to enjoy for the moment because it's nice. Not like beating someone or getting over to prove one's self worth.

Upgrades and perks are good; feeling entitled in these matters isn't good. Maybe my attitude is wrong and I should withdraw from FT...

Currently writing this post from a $69 Hyatt Place. That works too.
