A lot of the people who rent rooms at extended stay hotels are businessmen coming to a strange town for a 3-6 month contract. The first thing they find when they get to their room is an empty refridgerator. If these hotels offered a service where you could email them a list of things you want in the
fridge when you get there I know I'd be willing to pay the extra charge. It would save me a lot of time hunting for a store that carried the things I like (that's the last thing I want to do when I finally get to the room after an 11 hour drive).

Some Marriott property in the Seattle area does this for their extended-stay suites, at no charge. |

Is a Frdige like a digireedoo? |
|
| |
i'll cross that brdige when i come to it. |
|

[normzone] THAT's what they're called! (I could only think of them as the thing that goes "Fwaa vhwaa wha vhaa" And so ends my idea of making an electric didgeridoo as someone already has.) |

I figured [longshot] just got in from an 11 hour drive and, therefore missed the Frdige. |

Many of the sort of hotels that you describe, [longshot], have concierges. Next time you make a reservation for an extended stay, ask the concierge desk if they offer a "provisioning service". I've only had spotty luck finding this service offered in business class hotels (presumably because they want you to use their bar, restaurant, and room service kitchens), but "fridge filling" or "provisioning" is quite common in resort villa rentals, timeshares and vacation destinations, other international housekeeping-type rentals, and upper-end marinas. |

sp. fridge, refrigerator.
[admin: Changed spelling in title Frdige ->
Fridge] |

The same reason I never posted an Idea for a giant wind-powered organ [Zimmy], was that I couldn't think of prior art. |
|
| |
I wouldn't need this fillerupper service, as I live at a destination, but I'd like it if the frdige at work occasionally had coffee mate. |
|
| |
So the 'd' in the accepted spelling of the abbrev. 'fridge' is actually a bastard? (Yes, it certainly was in this case.) |
|
| |
Wouldn't it be easier to have your own fridge filled with everything you need suspended from a dirigible that would track you using a signal from your key fob? It could lower down the fridge to you on command at any moment. |

[wagster] that would be a separate idea, perhaps titled "Get My Fridge Off Me, Please" |
