And now some useful hotel advice.

When you order a movie or make a phone call from a hotel, a tax is charged. Sometimes a pretty hefty one too. At the hotels I have worked at it was 15%. I'm not sure if that is a Florida thing or a nationwide thing. Either way, it is a communications tax. If you look at your phone bill or your cable bill you will see the same tax.

So when you order Outrageous Orgys (yes that is an actual title) off the Spanktra-Vision for $16.99 and you see a movie charge on you bill for $19.54, don't bitch to the desk. Realize the first thing we are going to do is look it up on the computer that runs movies to make sure you are charged right. On that computer we will also see that you ordered Shemale Seduction and Throbbing Threesomes (actual titles). We can see the titles. But more importantly it will tell us the price before and after tax. Yes, I know a 15% tax sucks, but the hotel doesn't profit off of it. And don't call the corporate office either, they can't do anything about it. If you really want to complain, might I suggest your congressman or senator? Just don't tell them it was Anal Attractions you were taxed on.
