Makes me think of this:
I work in a hotel ($325 a night lowest rate). You would be surprised how many people call daily and ask for extra shampoo, soap, lotion, etc. Our amenity bottles are pretty large, so there is no way 2 people could use one even during a 4 night stay.
Some people are even blatant about it, actually asking to send up 2 or 3 of anything that is free. I make sure to include a couple of tampons, pads, condoms, and band aids, along with those horrible razors that chew your face to shreds.
On the flip side, for some reason, a lot of times I will take the left over shampoo and soaps home with me when I travel. Not sure why, as I never use them unless I really liked them.
