Any day you want

In all frankness, I'd be happy to sit down and play heads up next time we're on the same continent.

$1,000?

I think that's a game you'd lose.

Just ask CS91  ;D ;D ;D

I'll join and happily beat you. Especially if we play with <4 decks :)

Me thinks your confused about how many decks are used in poker.

But on account of that fact, yes, feel free to join  ;D

+100

But that would be separate and apart from our $1,000 heads up matchup. But perhaps we can live-stream it for DDF.

Thanks, for all those not living (or regularly visiting) the NYC area.  :)

The hotel offered you a great service of storing meals and heating them up for 15 dollars. You accepted. Why would you want to try to get the charge waived? The more people drive them nuts about it, they will stop doing it. So you might save a few dollars but punish the next jews going there. You spend so much money/points going there, stop being the 'cheap jew' and enjoy it
If you really want to know, the reason why I plan on asking for it to be waived is because when I was on the phone with Hyatt a few days before my trip about something unrelated to the meals, the Diamond rep saw something in the notes about $15 per meal for storing and heating and told me that the hotel should waive it because I'm a Diamond member and instructed me to ask them about it if I'm charged. Otherwise, I would have never asked because like you said, I agreed to the charge.

Regardless, thanks for the jumping down my throat without giving me the benefit of the doubt. If you knew me personally, you'd know I'm the last person that you'd have to worry about causing a chillul Hashem.

Anyways, gonna go back to enjoying my vacation while you look for someone else to call out. For the rest of you, I'll probably get to the rest of the TR when I get back home.  :)

Still wouldn't do it (umless Hyatt will refund you without charging or notifying the hotel), but it's your decision. Despite what Hyatt told you, things like things like this could make the hotel think twice before offering above and beyond accomodations to us Jews.

Cen lounge in Dallas stopped, PH Paris stopped, all because some people feel entitled and instead of  saying thanks demanded more and more
What happened at these places ?

Life is as good as you make it...

kosher food, they had complimentary food & people couldnt stop feeling entitled & complaining. I spoke actually with the lounge manager there & even offered to help with arrangements. They just werent interested.. I dont think people chap what kind of chilul hashem can be made by acting like an entitled individual.

I dont think this the right thread for this discussion but maybe it should be discussed if it can create change & enlightenment of why this isnt right.

Maybe they are just unaware of the outcome it can cause?

I didnt mean to jump down OP throat, apologize if you feel that way

Just because a callcenter agent in india told you something, I still dont think its right to ask them... As I said, the more people will make issues, the less they will do us favours. Its a favour, even for 15 dollars

Anyway enjoy your time there
