- ineedasername 3y agoIt actually (somewhat) fits the theme too, if you look at it sideways and squint your eyes. You could make something up, say for an ethics class, titled... The Motel Dilemma: You arrive at a motel that provides various toiletries and other sundry items in quantities sufficient for most people each night. Each room sleeps up to 4 people, but the motel knows that many times there will be only one or two guests in the room and want to keep costs down and so they place a limited amount in each room but make more available to guests, nominally, for free. As it happens, you're the only one in the room and do not need more. But this motel has very high quality items, you like them a lot. Is it okay to take extra to use beyond your stay at the motel?
- floxy 3y agoBut what about taking extra shampoo at Hilbert's motel? If they are making you switch rooms when new guests arrive, that might just be part of the compensation for the inconvenience? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert%27s_paradox_of_the_Grand_Hotel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert%27s_paradox_of_the_Gra...
- ineedasername 3y agoI don't think Hilbert's could give any compensation, that amount of shampoo would drive them into bankruptcy. I think. Trying to envision it makes my head hurt.
- floxy 3y agoPresumably the bottles of shampoo get smaller as the room numbers get higher. Plus the cash-flow opportunities seem tremendous even if the motel is 99.99999% vacant.
- jaredhallen 3y agoDon't they have infinite income? Seems like they could spare a towel or infinity.
