I work in hotels/resorts, and honestly, take the little shampoos and soaps! We throw them away when you leave (we don’t know if you’ve opened them and messed with them or whatever, so for health and safety it all goes in the trash) If you stay at the fancier places or chains, they’ve actually done some bit of thought into the scents for the toiletries, in that if you use them while at home you’ll remember the time you stayed at the hotel and be more likely to return.
Just don’t take the towels or the robes or any of that shit, it’s expensive.
This is true, all soaps, shampoos, and the like are tossed after a guest checks out of the hotel even if it’s clearly unopened because it is considered a health hazard violation in most places if they’re left there. If someone were to somehow get sick from it, a hotel can be shut down. Just take the toiletries, they’re ordered in bulk as is and only cost the hotel a few dollars to order them by the hundreds
And even if you don’t use them, you can donate them to your local homeless shelter or other similar charity and give someone something they could use that would otherwise go to waste.
PLEASE TAKE THE SOAPS. PLEASE DONATE THE SOAPS. It’s one of the biggest requests shelters/supply banks get. You want to make their fucking day? Show up with socks, undies, diapers, and toiletries.
hey in case u dont know why “breaking the fourth wall” is called “breaking the fourth wall”:
in traditional stage play sets you only ever saw 3 walls in a room. if there were 4 walls you obviously wouldnt be able to see the actors since they would be blocked from view. that missing wall is removed from the physical set, and instead implied to be there. the characters act as if there is 4 walls completing the room even though there is only 3. however, when the character addresses the audience in some way they are effectively removing that barrier that we placed there, the 4th wall and, thus, “breaking the 4th wall”.
i know it seems pretty obvious when you think about it and im sure plenty of you already put it together in your head, but I didnt think about it for so long and just kinda accepted the phrase to mean “a character talking to the audience” without knowing why it was phrased that way. but now ya know.
