So on principle I never take the green option (and I'm even the type of person who can go for a week on only 3 towels, no problem).
It would be illegal to pay by room, at least in US. Unless in an exempt job, one must be paid at least min wage per hour, which varies based on location. However, doesn't stop scummy companies from doing so.
