“Sir, it’s a line charge. It’s the privilege of phone service, even if you don’t use it.” — response of Sam’s Town and Palms desk personnel to a patron’s complaint about being charged a dollar a day for the phone(s) in his room(s). Just wait ’til you’re charged for the privilege of having a bed, running water, maybe even for the Gideon’s Bible in your room.

Hmmm…
I just got a mail offer of a free 3-day stay at some Boyd properties, including Sam’s Town. I was thinking of staying there, but now I won’t. I don’t want to encourage their nickle-and-dime fleecings.
BTW, if they furnish the rooms with both the Bible and Book of Mormon, they’d be able charge $2 a day! (Don’t tell ’em I said so, OK?)
