Unbelievable!!!

The minibar isn't the only thing that costs extra at the Ostfriesland Hotel in Norden, Germany. They have started charging guests by weight. The exact amount is about the equilvelant of 60 cents per 2 pounds, which means that the old Kirstey Alley would be paying about $18 more per night than the new one. Their reasoning: "Slim guests live longer and can therefore come more often and that is why we reward them."

And I thought it had to do with the bedsprings, or some other logical and less discriminatory reason. I have to wonder how they even manage to get their guests to voluntarily get on the scale in the first place? Guess I won't be staying there should I ever go over to sample some pints.
