A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Why did he pay? Or does the hotel have access to his card and can charge whatever they wish at will?

Isn't that how the US does it?

You give your credit card and they charge whatever they want. Always found that very weird in the US.

Of course they do. He had to use it to pay for his stay. Hotels don't take cash.
