Oh yeah? It's been a long time since I've stayed in a hotel. Pandemic. They say it. They pretty consistently say the floor too. I guess we travel different places. Better to be safe tho. Once they say it you can't put it back in.

Maybe you don't travel that much?

Well, no, I don't travel that much, but in the last three years I've probably stayed at 15 different places. I don't recall any of them saying the room number out loud. (Not a statistically valid sample, and all that...)

3 years 15 different different places. That's quite a lot, especially during pandemic. About the same as me.

You may not have been paying attention. I think people don't think about these things because they don't think it's important. It's hard to remember something that you don't care about.

No, I notice, because I find it a bit jarring. When I was a kid, they'd tell you your room number. Now they write it down and slide the paper at me, and I notice that.
