This is the way I'd handle something of this nature, too. The management staff at many hotels isn't directly supervising employees. As such, it's possible they do not know this practice is happening. And it's impossible for any business to fix a problem unless they know it exists.
Of course, it's possible this is approved by management. In that case, you'd need to decide if it's bothersome enough to move your business elsewhere.
