If this from your actual experience? I ask because there are two things wrong with your post:
1. I've never had a problem doing this or having charges wiped from my bill
2. If I were going to go to the 7-11 to buy identical booze for half the price, then why in the world would I go to all the trouble of taking from the minibar and replacing? Because it's easier to go to the 7-11 at the end of my stay rather than at the beginning?
Anyway, whether hotels like it or not, it's a very simple solution that works just fine, and is generally drama-free.
