Interesting. However in every hotel I've stayed in I only came across plastic disposable cups.

Linked website has inappropriate content. Bakura's original link is clean, but I suggest you avoid surfing around.

That is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen.

Well, it certainly ranks up there, at least.

Never drinking at a hotel again. XD

I don't see any inappropriate content. There might be some content that someone might be a bit iffy with, but nothing inappropriate.

Believe me, the site's not clean. Maybe I define inappropriate differently, though.

Anyway, OT: that's pretty disgusting stuff. Makes you wonder about food service as well. (Yikes!)

Yeah, I usually drink out of the glasses when I stay at a hotel (I have to have water to take my meds...). That's gross. What would you suggest if they don't have disposable cups?
What I've done before is tilt my head and sip straight from the faucet (without touching it of course). Hey, it works! (So does washing your hair in the sink...)

Some of your high dollar hotels only have glasses to drink out of. I never drink out of them, since I don't know who clean they are. The only ones that I will use are the plastic disposable cups. But please, if you see a pastic disposable cup out if its wrapper, never use it.

Its better to be safe then sorry.

The best part was when the maid sniffed the towel and then used it to dry the cups.

...Kay. I'm bringing my own bottle from now on. -.-

Eww >_< And I've used hotel glasses a zillion times before.

Geez, how hard is it to clean a glass? Seriously!

Well cleaning one room might not be so hard, but multiply that by a couple hundred room. I would say that is quite a workload there. Plus the fact that their pay is probably next to crap, I doubt they'd care too much for something like that.

Doesn't really justify anything though, but I guess it makes sense as to why they'd simply not care.

Sheez. Thanks for showing this Bakura. I have to go on a trip next week and I'm staying in a hotel. I'll bring my own cup, or some dish detergent with me and wash their glasses before I use them.

My dad is away on business right now. I talked to him on the phone tonight and I was all "So does your hotel have glass cups? Yeah? DON'T USE THEM."

That's just wrong. I hope something is done soon about it. Until then, I'm bringing my own beverages.

Oh man! The anime fans that go to AWA are going to be sick, if they see this video.

The Sheraton Suites Galleria is one of the satellite overflow hotels for AWA. Which a lot of people stay, if they can't get a room at the main hotel, which is the Renaissance Waverly Hotel.

The Renaissance Waverly Hotel has the same kind of glasses that the Sheraton Suites Galleria has.

And now you know why I never ever used then, even before I saw this video.

Heh, not really all that surprising.
This is why I might get a RV one day for traveling.

They'd probably care if they got better wages. Seeing that they're mostly likely Hispanic immigrants, I doubt their wage is no better than your typical fast food employee.

Besides, job hunting is too difficult nowadays. I doubt they'd be willing to sacrifice their jobs unless something terrible happened.

That...is so frightening... I am going to use my niece's sippy cup when I get thirsty on our next trip.... it's probably cleaner then those cups. X.x even though only God knows where that baby's mouth has been...
