I live here in Western, NC as well. A lot of folks have those types of trusting systems. One of the "big guys" has one I love. The Candlewood Suites has (or had, they have recently been bought out) an honor room, where you walk in, and they have all sorts of groceries like snacks, drinks, sandwiches, fruit and the like, and you gather everything you want, you HAND WRITE what you got and what room number you're in on a piece of paper, drop it in a box, and just take what you want with you. In the morning, when you check out, it's just added to your room. And it's cheap prices, too, not overinflated hotel rates. WONDERFUL amenity.
