Oh, sure. In fact, we let them know the total including tax while
they're on the phone making the reservation, since we have to
preauthorize their credit card before they have a reservation.

Maybe I'm showing my age, but I remember only needing to give a Credit Card
for a guaranteed room. They would hold the room until 6:00 without one. Has
that changed?


By the way -- all hotel prices are quoted this way. Go to Travelocity
or Orbitz, and every hotel's prices are listed this way, thankfully.

I never noticed. Fortunately, I don't stay in hotels much anymore. BTDT. I'd
rather be home.

I'll be damned if I'm gonna pay to post the government's extortion on
my advertisements. I sure don't ever see a nickel of it.

What do you mean, you never see a nickle? Don't you get to collect it,
account for it, and remit to to the gubmint?
