The ice must flow - Lemmy.World

The first thing I do when I get to my hotel room is fill up the ice bucket. Who likes warm drinks?
What hotel is fancy enough to have ice buckets and dispensers but not a fucking fridge?
I don’t think I’ve ever been to a hotel that didn’t have an ice dispenser/bucket, but have been to plenty that don’t have a fridge. Heck, Motel 6 has ice machines and a stupid plastic bucket.
Weird, I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ice dispenser. Is this a USA thing?
Very likely… A lot of road trip travel by car, sometimes toting coolers. And Americans like their beverages cold.
Yup. I was super surprised when I heard that in Europe, they don’t give you ice by default, and they give you seltzer unless you ask specifically for something else.
Fridge takes hours to cool a drink, but put it in an ice bucket and it’ll be cold after you’re done pooping.

I feel like I’m the only person who goes to a hotel to sleep, not chill a 24 pack of diet Coke and a bottle of champagne to drink (without this hotel ice) after eating a ham sandwich out of my rolling cooler which needs a top off.

Where are you all traveling with your champagne and ham sandwiches?!

  • nice hotels as a romantic getaway
  • less nice hotels for a tinder hookup
  • ghetto motels to avoid homelessness
