Following rules and being cheap and stingy at the same time....

There is this lady housekeeper that comes to clean my room. And, whatever dirty linen that I give to her, she in return will give me clean ones back. Okay, but there were a few times, that I will ask her to give me an extra washcloth that I did not have in my room. And you know what, she had a problem giving me an extra washcloth or towel. For everything else, she will give me with no problem. I asked her for soap and she gave me four bars without me even asking for that much. But, yet she can't give me an extra washcloth or two. And she will tell me that she can't just give me extra linen when I don't give her anything dirty so that she can give it back to me. I will have to do a trade for a trade. Give her dirty, she will in return give me clean. And then the amount that I give to her is the same amount that she will give back to me. She does not go over. No objections! Well, lately, I have been noticing that the other 5 housekeepers don't do anything like she does. They will come to my room and pick up the dirty linen and give me more than what I have asked for. They don't count it at all. I had one lady that came with about 4 towels and she just thrust them into my hands. She was not concerned about what all I already had in my room and if I gave her anything dirty back. Then there is this other lady, that comes with so much towels and washcloths. She tried to give them all to me, and I told her politely that I don't need all of these linen. If I need anything, I will only get what I don't have, or have enough of. I am very honest about the linen. I have even had to go to the laundry room a couple of times, just to give one housekeeper towels and other linen that I did not need. I had so much extras in my room until I had to just give some of them back. I know that housekeepers may be trained to do this. But, I am wondering how come she and this older man are the only ones that are doing this. Is this a rule or just a rule that they have created? If I have paid and stayed this long, then I should as a guest, be entitled to extras if I NEED them. I won't ask for something that I DON'T need. My money pays for my stay daily. I know that they have more cloths in stock, probably brand new for all that I know. And I know that she and this man can spare just one extra washcloth. She has a problem with giving me that small amount... It is five people to our room. We can only get four washcloths. We all need a face and body washcloth. So, that gives us a total of 10 washcloths, and five towels. We don't get this much. Not from her and not from the man. I end up getting more from the other housekeepers. If she is following the rules, I can understand that, but if I am honest about what I need, that I don't have, can't she at least, give me what I have requested? As for me, I use my own washcloths to wash with. I don't like using white washcloths to wash my face and body with. I have always used colored and dark washcloths, even with my towels too.
