"Salads were in the range of 29.00 to 58.00 each. So, the clients are getting a typical meal for around 140.00 each." ...33ron

Well, if some friends know they'll be eating at the main room in the Plaza Hotel (NY) -- yes, the food will probably be outstanding and everyone has an 'idea' goin in that the bill will be $140 or greater... Makes sense.. The lowest price offer - doesn't always benefit folks all that much. For ex., Hotdogs are a lesser quality meat.)

Musicians ! - when you are out on the road.........

Here's an idea for HOTELS and MOTELS when you pull off the Interstate :

When you arrive - the front desk informs you that the $59 rate is for the room only. If you want a room with a shower and toilet - "that, is an extra $12.00". "We have 'Porta-potty' toilets around back - not far from your room - for 'basic' rates."

"Linen will be ....... $5.00".... "Airconditioning -- $7.00"


Nice - huh ?

This could be fashioned as a 'smart' business model - under certain schools of thought. I for one hope it doesn't happen.
