Leffe is also the mainstream very commercialised Belgium beer.

The Asahi bottles you used to get in the "3 for £X" deals used to be 620ml. They've changed to 500ml now in the supermarkets I frequent
Others seem to be remaining at 620ml for now,

Count yourself lucky you can still get the smaller versions, my large Sainsburys now only carry the large 500/400g ones which I never get through before they go bad.
Yup - used to be nice big bottles, also can't seem to get the black label anymoreThe Asahi bottles you used to get in the "3 for £X" deals used to be 620ml. They've changed to 500ml now in the supermarkets I frequent

Was just in Tesco and a pack of monster munch (85g) was £2.75. They are having an absolute laugh. I wouldn't expect to pay more than £1-1.50. Madness.

Found this quite a tough watch, the look on that first fella's face around the 1:50 mark

I got to 2:10, and had to stop, you're right, that is such a hard watch.
How did we let things get in this state?

Stayed over in Liverpool Saturday night at the Hilton Liverpool one I opened the wardrobe where the fridge usually is to be greeted by this , in the last 10 years of many stays I've never had a fridge with any items inside but at least it worked as a mini fridge .

But if they have sensors, then you'd be charged for it all
Having to rent a fridge if it's not a cheapo hotel is ludicrous though.
OK, but here me out, and here is where a massive dose of common sense is required, you just explain that you emptied the crap out and didn't consume it.But if they have sensors, then you'd be charged for it all
Lifeing is hard IRL
It clearly says that if you so much as move the items, you'll be automatically billed. You think they'll care that you didn't consume any of it or not?
Do you dress yourself in the morning?
Then they just explain that the T&Cs you agreed to but probably didn't read say you agreed to be charged if you moved an item from the mini fridge and you stand at reception arguing the toss with the local manager for the next 45 minutes to get £250 removed from your bill

Oh I agree but then all they will do is reimburse you for the items in the fridge and then, justifiably, charge you for use of a personal fridge the same as if you requested it at reception
I'm sure the lad on minimum wage at reception will be far more reasonable than the FUD shared by resident OCUKers lol.

Not if it means getting written up or possibly losing their job if they're already on a final warning etc, which is all too common these days for employees at the bottom of the pyramid who don't follow every rule to the letter.
It's a sad state of affairs, but it happens.
Source: no one ever
Caporegime
What's your source then, considering your solution is to explicitly tell them you ignored the warning and opened the fridge anyway to use it?
I also love how you think nobody has ever been written up for not enforcing daft little policies like the above.
Whether you can personally stand there and argue your way out of paying is another matter.

It's owned by InBev and like almost all of the rest of their products, they have just made it worse to get better profit margins.
