Waste Of Words

I had the opportunity of visiting New Delhi and staying in the famous five star hotel Le Meridien.What caught my eyes was this small tag that was attached to the bathrobe in the hotel.
 

For those of you for whom visibility is a problem, it is reproduced below:

This bathrobe has enjoyed considerable success among our guests to the extent that some particularly enthusiastic customers have become “collectors of Le Meridien bathrobes”. While we recognize that this initiative helps spread the reputation of our establishment, we nevertheless urge our most fervent supporters to make an effort to separate themselves from this admittedly endearing garment when they leave. (Alternately, a bathrobe may be obtained in exchanged for a few rupees)”

Simply deciphered and understood, it just says, Please don’t steal this bathrobe. It is available for sale”.

It is quite interesting to see to what extent the hotel industry can go in being modest!  But for a simpleton like me, it is just  a waste of precious words!
