When the person is interviewed, they could say that, then talk about how Trump's all cool when it's him doing the stiffing.

I'd love to try it. But I bet the hotel staff would disagree with me.

Anyway it's a moot point, Trump Hotels will never see one red cent from me.

It would be everywhere before you eventually pay the bill.

Something tells me that our legal system would take the hotel's side, however.

By the way, Hampton Inn basically has that policy. It did when I worked there years ago, anyway.

It frustrated me sometimes when customers were clearly being deadbeats, making up excuses for not being "100% Satisfied," but I'm not sure why I cared. It was the hotel policy and seemed like a pretty obvious way to weasel out of paying. Most people didn't do that, though. A very small percentage had legitimate complaints sometimes too.
