resort fee joke

While checking out of a Las Vegas hotel, a couple receives a bill with charges they didn’t expect.

The husband says to the front desk clerk, “That’s ridiculous. We were quoted a much lower rate. I want to speak to a manager.” The desk clerk calls the manager over, and the couple pleads their case.

“I’m sorry,” says the manager. “The additional amount is resort fees. Our hotel has an an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center available for guests to use.”
“We didn’t use them!” says the wife.
Well, they’re here,” says the front desk manager, “And you could have.”

Before the couple can speak, the manager continues, “We also have a spa.”
“We didn’t go to the spa,” the couple protests.

“Well, we have one, and you could have,” the manager replies. “We also have Internet access. And an in-room safe.”
“We didn’t use those!” the husband states.

“We delivered a newspaper to your room,” says the manager.
“We didn’t use it!” the wife states.
“Well, you could have,” says the manager.

The husband, anxious to get on the road, says, “Fine. Nevermind. Honey, write the man a check.”

When the manager gets the check, he says to the couple, “Excuse me, but that check is for only $20.”

The woman replies, “Exactly. I charged you $500 for sleeping with me.”
The shocked manager says, “But I didn’t!”
“Well, too bad. I was here, and you could have,” the wife replies.
