Unless there have been technological advances in the real of automatic snack/beverage bar systems, those things can be super annoying.

Typically, if you remove something to take a look at it and replace it 31 seconds later, you get charged. If you rearrange the fridge contents to store something of your own, you get charged. As you can probably guess, getting the charges removed can be quite some work.

Awesome rooms... all larger than my first New York apartment though.

As noted in the link posted by lcvarner, what is French Toast in the US is commonly referred to "Pain Perdu", or "Lost Bread", in France.

That's because the traditional recipe calls for stale bread or, perhaps, is actually a great way to make use of stale bread instead of throwing it away.

While the use of white sandwich bread (pain de mie) is no longer uncommon (the scene in Kramer vs Kramer may have started that), using other kinds of more typical French breads or even brioche can bring a whole other dimension to the dish. Less eggy, more crunchy, for example.
