However, ethically, we agreed to pay the charge and if we'd've scrutinized the invoice, we would have caught the mistake (even though we had them confirm the price twice). So while I don't have to pay, I'm going to pay it. Even though it is Marriott Inc. I'd be screwing over, I'd still be screwing someone over. It just sucks. That's a good chunk of change.
Good for you R. I wouldn't have fucking done that in a million years. Of course, if somehow the man in my eyebrow convinced me to do it, a strongly worded letter about my ethical superiority would sent, along with the money, to Marriott corporate headquarters.
