If motels didn’t put them in our room when we travel, we’d never see this rag. Next time, we’ll tell them not to bring them to our room.
They are probably charging you from $2 up per copy.
Years ago, we became aware of this. On check in, I told the front desk, that I wasn’t paying for USA today.
If they tried to charge for the USA, on checkout, I would make a big scene and demand the manageffr. When he/she/it showed up, I read them the riot act. I got the charges taken off my bill.
We have 3 nice lodges we stay at. When making the reservations on line, on the comment section, I post on the comments or wishes section, “Don’t deliver the USA nor try to charge me for it.”
