No, my usual browsing is almost exclusively confined to the Virgin Atlantic, Amex and Marriott forums. On all of these cheating and dishonesty is usually condemned by mods and regular posters. :cool:

I thought it was called an honor bar. If you don't fill out slip, does that mean you have no honor. Don't want to do business with you. If you are going to steal, steal Madoff big.

Taking drinks from an honor bar without signing = stealing.
Using discount codes for which you are not eligible = stealing. (The Avis board is redolent with the scent of illicit rentals.) There aren't different degrees of integrity. You either have it, or you don't. |

On the other hand, there's nothing to say how big a glass of wine (or, when Grosvenor House were charging for dinks, a glass of Laphroaig) should be.
I always pay, but sometimes my hand slips when pouring. |

So riddle me this...
Does using a discount code that was not intended for you or staying on a rate in which you don't meet the qualifications set your moral compass askew? Wouldn't that be theft as well? |

I thought this would be a topic on:
cell phone use workout attire bare feet loud children holding meetings however this one's pretty simple. THEFT As to your comment, I agree that is clearly theft... |

Not sure about this, thought I'd ask: I heard from a colleague that the little slips for drinks in the concierge lounges are really just for show, and that there is rreally no expectation that you will pay for drinks.
Any thoughts? ...and as for the wine glasses getting smaller, I dunno, maybe they switched from red wine glasses to white. I'll have to see whats around next time i'm in a CL. |
This is a very interesting thread, as an operator it's not suprising but it is called an Honor Bar, it's up to each person's personal set of ethics/morals to decide if they will record the drink's they've taken

Fill out the chit. It's the right thing to do. I always hope the attendant forgets to enter them into the system. This has happened twice!:)

You must be in the film industry, as your colleague sounds like Lindsay Lohan. Yep, the jewelry store only had the price tags and cash register for show! Sounds like a winning defense.

Failing to pay = theft. It is as simple as that. Just my two cents. Nick |
