I came to the RYSE hotel in Hongdae for a staycation. These are the cups in the bathroom.홍대 라이즈 호텔에 호캉스 왔는데 화장실에 있는 컵들.

It feels like they see guests as potential thieves. A really unpleasant experience.고객을 잠재적 절도범으로 보는 듯 해서 매우 좋지 않은 경험이다

💡 A souvenir with a catch?
Take the mug home and its own label calls you out. This guest read the same joke as an accusation before anything had even been taken.Klore note
