It’s called marketing
by Caroline“Anonymous, Washington” asked Social Cues if he or she should feel guilty for taking the little shampoo bottles and other amenities from hotels. The answer made me laugh:
Do you have too much time on your hands or what?
Listen, I bathe in guilt and still manage to swipe those three tablespoons of shampoo and conditioner — in their cheaply-branded plastic bottles — without a pang of regret. It’s called marketing.
Last Labor Day I roadtripped out east and stayed in three different hotels, from which I still have tiny bottles of things that I am working my way through. They were much easier to transport than the quart of shampoo I’m lugging back and forth to the pool each morning.
Also, that quart of shampoo is taking longer than ever to use since I chopped ten inches off my hair. The transition from using handsful of cheap shampoo to a quarter-sized amount of the ‘spensive stuff is still a little discombobulating.
