The plumbing in his hotel is completely irrelevant. He didn't need to send it. He picked up the pieces after your carelessness, asked you to pay actual costs and a tiny contribution to his time, and you whine about it. Geez. Now your comments have come closer to running the gamut. <abbr><em>Duchess’s last blog post..<a href="http://duchessomnium.com/?p=623">The food chain</a></em></abbr> well, I have come to this late, but I am astonished that anyone would grudge someone what is less than one minimum wage hour to retrieve your property, package it, and send it off to you.

Your opinions ran the gamut, so I have decided to take the middle ground. I'm sending the guy $20 with a note of thanks and calling it a day. I must also add that the owner of the hotel actually called me yesterday to make sure I got the package. I thought it was pretty nice thing to do!, but Dad thinks he just called to make sure he was gonna get his twenty bucks! A big thank you to everyone who took the time to comment.

Time was spent on retrieving the charger, packaging, and going to the post office (at Christmas time this alone is worth $20)to mail the package. I would send a note with a great big thank you and $25, maybe he could put the extra towards plumbing issues. Be grateful you got it back, he could have said it was not there.
