Free HBO/Free Cable... Seriously?
I was driving past a decent hotel the other day in Omaha and I noticed that on the sign out front. The lettering was faded so I'm guessing it's been up there a few years. Why do hotels/motels still advertise that on their signs? I mean I know I don't look for hotels that allow me to watch Game of Thrones when I'm traveling. I look for places that might offer free wifi, free breakfast, free drinks and such.
Seriously? Isn't HBO and cable pretty much a staple at all hotels anymore? Maybe advertise free porn or how about Netflix or Hulu? Actually, **** your TV. Where's the free dinner vouchers or something?
It's kind of stupid, IMO. This is just a bit obscure and outdated nowadays. I could understand it in the 1980's when HBO was a big ****ing deal. Now it pretty much comes with any cable/satellite plan.

I've seen other outdated "deals" like that as well.

The gas station that still offers free air, the buffet restaurant that let's kids under four eat free... Shit like that just doesn't make sense anymore to me. Maybe it's to bring in the older crowds?
**** it, I'm gonna go watch me some free HBO at the motel 6.

Yup. Why give something away when you can charge for it?

That being said, one of the reasons I frequent our local Kum n Gos is because they offer free air.

For awhile most of them that I stopped at the quarters went to charity. Annnnd they didn't work. And I'm not on any toll roads, so I have quarters on my person or in the car just this side of never.

Maybe it's just a California thing, but over here at least, it's required by law for gas stations to offer free air and water. Granted, they still have coin slots so you can pay, but you don't HAVE to pay. Just tell the cashier to turn the machine on for you.

Free air is a good deal since most places charge for it now. Also some little Podunk motel people might wonder if they have cable for watever reason.

Is there any place that doesn't have refills on pop for free? Sometimes I see that one.
