I'm just wondering at what point a hotel chain thought that it became worth 7 bucks for the convenience of having a can of macadamia nuts in a small refrigerator in my room?

Also, with the room service thing, is having room service so convenient that the prices can be both 50% higher than they would be ordinarily and charge a convenience fee?

Don't get me wrong, you'll never find a stronger proponent of convenience than me. Ask my wife. She hates that I'm willing to go a crappy deli and buy a turkey sandwich when I could by a pound of turkey and a loaf of bread at the supermarket for roughly the same price. I can't be bothered to comparison shop, even on the InterWeb. I feel like in the time it takes me to search out a better deal, I could already be doing something else.

I guess it's my own fault that I'm willing to pay $17 for a club sandwich and $2.50 for a medium sized bag of M&Ms that have been sitting there for god knows how long. I just hate that they know exactly how to take avantage of me.
