What's $20 Sundries?
Oh that's for the use of the Jacuzzi
But I didn't use the Jacuzzi
Well, it was there if you wanted it!
What's $20 facilities?
Oh, you know, use of tea/coffee making facilities and the ironingboard — it does include in-house videos too!
But I didn't make any tea/coffee, nor did I do any ironing — I certainly did not watch any movies/videos. In fact I didn't even turn the TV on.
Well, it was all there if you wanted it.

Guest crosses out the total on the bill and puts in a figure $50 less than requested and then signs the docket and storms off through the lobby. Cashier notices $50 short and chases the customer and questions the shortfall.

Excuse me Sir, but why did you change the total — you have shortpaid your bill by $50.
Ah, that's for the use of the Rolls Royce
Which Rolls Royce?
My Rolls Royce parked out there in the forecourt.
But we didn't use your Rolls Royce

Well it was there if you wanted it!
