    That is a fascinating idea and absurd and I'm actually considering it. What would I do with the microwave after? Could I return it?

        @avantgame As you're leaving, walk it up to the reception desk and give it to a newly arriving guest.

        @avantgame Donate to thrift store? Leave in room? Sell on Craigslist? Ship to Random address in phone book? Stay in hotel indefinitely. :-)

        @avantgame you def can return it but I have no clue what Walmart would do w/ a returned microwave. Ideally they'd resell it, but I doubt it?

        @CesarKuriyama maybe just better to see if the hotel will take it and loan it to other guests.

        @avantgame You could donate it or save it. It could be your "hotel microwave" and you store it with your luggage.

        @avantgame cool receptionist, but i highly doubt the hotel itself would lifehack against its services. Sign & auction to games students ;-)

        @avantgame Return it, or give it to the person that made the suggestion to donate, keep or dispose. The idea appeals to the anarchist in me.
