DILEMMA:
The hotel you're staying in stocks its rooms with luxurious mini shampoos and creams. Can you transfer the goodies to your suitcase —and repeat the process daily?

DETERMINATION:
Yes, of course, Joan Cronson of Radisson Hotels & Resorts says, "In general, in the hotel industry, we want the customer to take the products. They're thought of as little gifts." Gifts that are factored into the price of the room. Ransacking the chambermaid's cart, on the other hand, is overstepping the complimentary-beauty-product boundary.

FROM THE HALL OF SHAME: "I raid the cart every time I walk past it, multiple times a day, and stash the loot in my suitcase, as opposed to a drawer that the maid might open," says a woman from Boston.
