While trying to check-in to a cheap airport crash-pad after a long day of travel, I was stuck in line by some lady who looked like a regular business traveler, but was also clearly a complete moron.
She spent several minutes ranting at the poor check-in clerk that her credit authorization slip she was given (I guess the hotel puts in a hold for the amount of your stay) wasn't a receipt (it was just the little slip from the credit card machine printer), and she needed a real receipt, and she'll never get reimbursed by the company, blah, blah, blah...
Lady, have you never stayed in a hotel in your life? You usually get the full itemized receipt when you check out, so they can add incidentals. If you were in a U.S. hotel (this was in the UK), you wouldn't have even been handed that separate receipt for the card authorization; it would have been done quietly.
