Peter is next…. hope they’re ready for the dishwashing…

Freeloaders

lemonade hopefully would do (on the head of course)

Is that Jason or Andy’s shirt with the Star Trek Command emblem on it?

Isn’t gonna be as cheap as you thought, right Dad?

Wait, what? You verbally tell them your room number without offering any proof? I wish I could stay at that hotel, though I don’t think the people in the room down the hall would be too pleased about it.

I think you need something stronger than aspirin. Like maybe Valium or Xanax.

Hello, Room Service?

I’d like to order a dead man’s chest for my husband and a bottle of rum for myself.

Wait – you didn’t tell the kids about how the purchasing worked??? If they’d had gone to a real Caribbean resort, like Mom wanted, they’d be even worse off as they work the same.

Is this kind of deceptive marketing at resorts becoming more common? I remember seeing an arc like this in a recent Zits comic.

Unfortunately for Roger, Andie’s “headache” is going to last for quite a while…

Reminds me of when we stayed at the Grand Bohemian in downtown Orlando. The don’t have closets, instead they have armoire’s that have hanging space, drawers and encase the flat screen tv as well as two mini fridges, one for drinks and one for alcoholic drinks.

The top drawer in the armoire is a thin one that when pulled out has various snacks, candy bars, bags of chips etc. There is a sign telling you that if you lift the item from the sensor you bought it whether you eat it or not. I always wondered how many parents paid for a lot of junk food that their kids grabbed not knowing how it worked.

FYI this was 15 years ago and they were charging $5 for a bottle of water and $4 for any of the snacks.

You’ll pay dearly on the back side for any free stuff…

I’m guilty of drinking a bottle in the mini fridge and putting it back hoping they wouldn’t notice.

Oh whoops, I thought this was the strip where Andy says “Let the bankruptcy begin.” That must be in the Fun-Fun Universe storyline.

That bill will be huge.

hey, it’s the shirt from Candorville!

This strip is from 21 years ago; they’re still paying off that vacation!
