Really interesting question about posh hotel soap

labmonkeya529 [Edit] [Delete] 14:45, 30 April '14

So you know if you go to a fancy B&B or hotel they might have that posh Molton Brown soap that costs about £18 a bottle to you or I?

What’s to stop the hotel just refilling the posh bottles with many of the dirt cheap knock off alternatives that have sprung up, like ‘Bayliss & Harding’ etc?

Was at a smallish B&B with about 10 rooms that had loads of the stuff. Surely you just buy a bulk load to start with and then just re-fill with inferior stuff?. I’m sure you can buy trade size 5litre bottles at a cheaper retail price but……..

They probably have a contract with Molton Brown, so do Molton Brown send around mystery shoppers who come with a little test tube and pipette to ensure the hotel is advertising trading with the real thing?

Makes you think though, doesn’t it?
