Hotel Toiletries – For the Taking?

Yesterday I saw a commercial for CitiBank that showed several Americans sharing their money saving tips in the current economy.
One in particular stuck out to me: a woman says doesn’t purchase toiletries, and instead takes them from the hotels she stays at.
Perhaps I am misinterpreting the message of the commercial, but it did spark some questions in my mind.
Where do we draw the line? Certainly toiletries are present in a hotel room for guests to use and enjoy, but are they for the taking?
During room service visits, if toiletries have not been used, they will usually not be replaced. Is it wrong for a guest who does not use the toiletries to move them in order to receive more?
I have heard many different guest practices on this issue, and it seems almost everyone has an opinion on it. So…tell me what’s on your mind!
Do you work in a hotel? What’s the standard practice on toiletries?
Are you a frequent traveler? What do you do?
