minibars
Pricey room refreshments
Minibars are small refrigerators stocked with drinks and snacks, typically found in hotel rooms.
Guests help themselves and charges appear on the bill at checkout.
The contents are often overpriced: I paid eight dollars for a tiny bottle of water from the minibar.
Some hotels now use sensors to detect when items are removed.
