It reads:
Our towels are available for purchase If you would like to purchase a towel they are available to buy from our reception team for £20.00. If you choose to take them from the room we will charge your account accordingly.
I view this as a nice polite way of saying don’t steal our towels and if you do then you will be charged £20 for each one.

In the David Perell podcast with Daniel Gross they also talked about forcing functions. They started by discussing why Israel seems to be so strong in the tech industry and whether their unique circumstances may be the cause.

When we recruit people we are obviously looking at their ability to perform the role on offer but we are also looking at how well they will work with the team.
