That couple are clearly messed up but $75,000? That guy has just seen a chance to make some money and is trying it on, in my opinion. Not bright of the hotel management either, given all the bad publicity now on the hotel.

They should've told them to take a hike, but the claim for 75k disgusts me too.

Nonsense. The hotel should refuse to do so, and people who disagree can go elsewhere.

This is a good point. And it's unlikely he'll be continuing to work there, so... *NM*

I disagree. Those ridiculous claims are a major problem in America.

I would agree if he was demanding a million or 200k. *NM*

Why is 75k all right, but 200k not? Where do you draw the line, and why? *NM*

The line is arbitrary, I agree. Yet Legolas was against the mere idea of financial recompense

If it isn't a money issue, I'd go - this shows how far they will accomodate their guests.

But it's the same principle - kicking someone out for something you don't like about them.
