It is a bone of contention with some where I work too for good reason but as AA75 pointed out, cheap domestic sedans aren't much of a thing anymore.

Not me…BUT…I did get yelled at yesterday at the Holiday Inn Express near DTW for eating too many yogurts…I was told [yelled at] by a staff member that it’s a “complimentary breakfast” and not a “greedy breakfast”.

Sometimes I wonder your photo posts aren't just to provide proof of life. But then I'd guess the Hooters girls would be holding today's newspaper.
