This must be a southern thing.
Some months ago in New Orleans I was billed $4 a day for the unrequested room safe, which I didn't use (didn't even see it), and $1.50 or whatever a day for the unrequested newspaper delivered to my room door each morning, which I didn't read. To add the final insult, tax was then added to these.
As ever, scene at checkout and charges grumpily removed. I have found the question "Why should I have to pay extra because your employees are dishonest" works well with uninvited room safe charges.
