Not just Marriott. I'd say this applies to every hotel in the world that has a restaurant, coffee shop, or gift shop. And quite frankly, you don't even need a real number and name in most cases. Someone could write a random number and name on a restaurant bill and walk out before anyone even bothers checking for a match.
