Ultra-processed foods have one or more ingredient that wouldn’t be found in a kitchen, like chemical-based preservatives, emulsifiers like hydrogenated oils, sweeteners like high fructose corn syrup, and artificial colors and flavors.

Instead, I would be happily loyal to a chain that had uniformly good quality (not luxury, just good - clean, working pool, no bedbugs, hot breakfast) and guaranteed the best price (and they will lower my price if they decide to lower the price to "fill rooms"). Done.

Literally every hotel I've booked in both Marriott or Hilton chains has a cancellation policy including night before. Literally. Every. Single. One. I only have about 500 nights in a hotel since 2018 including plenty in several states in America. Is this some hyper localised trend where the writer lives or something?
I live in the US and often pay extra for my reservation to allow cancellations. Even when booking directly through the hotel's website. Marriott is the worst offender IMHO.

I don't know where you shop, the Aldis around here takes credit cards. We wouldn't shop there if they didn't.

They already exist for Visa. There is Traditional, Signature, and Infinite.
