I have a hard time with the suggestion that anyone who can afford to travel
or to stay in a nice hotel can afford to pay a little extra. The hotels
themselves are already figuring that people who can afford to stay at their
hotel can afford to be gouged, so they jack the prices up to soak you for
as much as they can. Under the circumstances, it should be the hotels who
should be able to afford a little more to pay their staff.
