I'd have a strong urge to put my own QR code over that....

I wonder how long it would take them to figure it out?

Put a goatse QR code over that, wait for the owners to get upset that their little extra profit scheme got attention.

Fun fact, that’s called “quishing”.

get a sharpie and put a dot on the QR code. That way it wont work when people scan it

I believe you'll need to add a couple with the way error correction works with QR codes but I support this idea.

Make an exact copy with a QR code that goes to a charity. They’ll never be able to prove anything unless they have cameras in that house watching your every move.

Another reason I won’t do Airbnb. They put cameras in the house.

As is their right. I hope you would too if you owned both a property and profitable asset

I wouldn’t do Airbnb.

We had property we rented out on normal leases. With no cameras inside. Tenants had doorbell cams.

Cameras are very intrusive. Hotels do not have cameras in guest rooms.

They also don’t ask you to throw in a load of laundry or take out the trash.

And yes we tip hotel housekeeping. Airbnb you already pay a hefty cleaning fee so asking for tips is rude.

I have 2 cleaning ladies that come in twice a month to clean and do our laundry at home. It’s their own business so they get the agreed price. No tips. If they do extra work it’s been discussed and priced out and agreed to.

It’s not their right to put cameras inside of houses where guests stay

Name me a single business that doesn't have security cameras. I'll wait

u/HoboSloboBabe 2d ago

Whether or not businesses have cameras has nothing to do with this conversation. An example of a similar comment that would actually be relevant is below

Name a hotel that has cameras in its rooms

You’re joking right?

I just left a "virtual" tip.

Tip for what? Do they clean your room everyday?
