I wanted to mention this a month ago, and just now remembered when discussing PODS for the Keurig machine (buying vs refill your own).
Offering sodas (of whatever sort) for the guests to enjoy has been a very reasonable expense for us here. We have had a few people only, out of many many who even had more than one.
I was at a catered function, and they had bbq'd a pig, and more. They had a bar with local brews and wines from the area, and then lo and behold, grocery store no-name-brand sodas.
I found myself chuckling at the cans of "Mountain Lion" which is Food Lion's version of Mountain Dew.
Perhaps I was the only one who noticed in the whole crowd, but I did. I thought, how cheap! I am sorry to bring up this sore spot for the innkeeper who had a guest mention this, but it seemed applicable. That people drink brand sodas, wherever they go, and they expect it. The marketing for them CANNOT BE IGNORED.
I thought of this after reading "Ping me when it's broken" on Seth's blog.
