When travel reporter Zach Griff checked into The Pell, a JDV by Hyatt property in Rhode Island, he expected a relaxing stay with his wife and 9-month-old daughter. Unfortunately, he left on a sour note after the hotel charged him a $500 smoking fee following his stay.

The problem? Griff says he’s never smoked a day in his life, let alone in a hotel room while staying there with his family.

Griff, a senior reporter at The Points Guy, took his story public on social media after the hotel allegedly charged him the $500 fee based on readings from an air quality sensor. The sensor data was supplied by a third-party company called Rest, which claims hotels can easily collect fees from smoking events.

For the VPN to work there has to be a place without censorship laws. The problem is that there is more more of places with censorship laws and age verification. There is one website in particular that made it mandatory for everyone regardless of where you live to provide age verification - the website did walk it back but still.

Ticketmaster wants you to know it's "all in" on up-front pricing. In a blog post published on Monday, the company triumphantly declared that it's "putting fans first" and including fees in the first price you see for a ticket. Not mentioned in Ticketmaster's announcement: An FTC rule requiring that exact change just so happened to take effect today.

Clickbait title, GTA 6 delay has nothing to do with the game industry

Previous titles from rockstar like RDR2 and GTA 5 were also delayed
