…but you’ve used up too much internet.”

Staying at a motel in Richmind that offers WiFi.

Good.

10 MB for free and a pittance per MB on top of that.

There for 4 days, check the mails each day, use bugger-all bandwidth so I’m a bit surprised to get stung for $4 and a bit (on top of a $500 bill)

“You’ve used more than 10MB” he says.

“Eh? It’s not per day? It’s 10MB for the ENTIRE STAY. No matter how long you stay?”

WTF tone of voice.

“Yiss” he says proudly “and it says so in the folder in the room”

“So I could check out and check in each day and I’d get 10MB a day”

“Yiss, you could, but it says so in the room click it says so in the room click it says so in the room click it says so in the room”

I did suggest a more sensible and equitable pricing policy, but not a chance.

“It says so in the room click it says so in the room click it says so in the room….”
