You got me fucked up if I'm waking up early on my master approved break from wage slaving. I'm waking up at noon and I'm having a bowl for breakfast.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Bowl of peanut butter crunch.

After ripping a steamroller of course

ripping a steamroller across your favorite shirt.

After getting high of course

high up in the hotel because the club level’s breakfast has an omelette station.

After smoking marijuana of course

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

The smoked marinara dipping sauce is a regional favorite, complementary offered at all meals to the hotel's guests.

After inhaling thc vapors purely for recreation of course

If you're not maniacally ripping every minute of theoretical fun out of your vacation with an insane timetable that begins at 0500, you're probably rich enough that your dietician has you fasting intermittently.

And a sign up that says YOU MUST NOT TAKE THINGS FROM THE BREAKFAST ROOM!

Yeah, fuck you. Pockets full of churros.

Damn I need to stay at your hotels. The ones I stay at usually you're lucky if you get fresh fruit

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I went to one that had a random box of dunkin Donuts 12ct that clearly had gone through their break room and nobody wanted the rest lol

ATTENTION ALL NINES: FOOD IS TO BE CONSUMED, NOT HOARDED

Our vacation days generally consist of stalking the area for good food and doing tourist-y things to fill the time between meals. My partner's favorite thing to do during vacation downtime is to find more restaurants and cafes in the area for the next day, so hotel food is never a factor.

“Vacation is basically just eating at different locations.”

[–] [email protected] 39 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

City vacations: restaurant hunting

Nature vacations: grueling 6am deathmarch #87

Beach vacations: binge drinking and washing sand out of things

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

This is why you don’t pay for breakfast (if you have the option), wake up late at your time and go discover a local spot and some food to eat as breakfast/lunch item.

All the hotels i ever stay in anymore don't have a restaurant or a bar just bare bones. I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express once and it had a pancake machine

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Holiday Inn Express is the most miserable breakfast I've ever had in a hotel. The selection was basically lard with sugar on it, and whatever drink you chose tasted of chlorine.

I'm normally not much of a breakfast person, but work had booked me in at HIE once, and as I had a long day ahead I had to force myself to eat something. And the selection available didn't exactly make it easier.

After that I always make sure to book the hotel myself. I'm not that picky in terms of hotel, as long as the eatery is decent.

Pancake machine sounds fancy.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago (10 children)

It's so weird seeing almost 500 upvotes on a post like this on lemmy where, based on comments, like 90% of it's users can barely afford rent, let alone going on vacation and staying at a place that offers breakfast.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I would expect most lemmings, like myself, to have spent more time in company-paid hotel rooms than vacation hotel rooms

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

I think that's a very strange assumption.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Can confirm.

Source: I think last time I paid for a hotel myself was 2009. I have no idea how many nights I've spent on company expense since then, but it must be in the hundreds.

We remember those placer from when we were kids though.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

I haven't been on a holiday since I was a kid, but I remember these hotel breakfasts.

Could it be possible that these are different groups of people? Lemmy has like 70,000 monthly users now.

I mean, I travel for work a lot and have to stay weeks in hotels. And weeks means weekends, so yeah I can relate. There's a lot of people I meet around the world that travel like me and wouldn't be able to afford those same hotels for a vacation... like me lol

I don't know where everyone is staying but I normally get a choice of single serve cereal bowls, bagels with maybe 3 types of spread, some type of juice, coffee, milk, and occasionally a selection of fruit. Everything is served with cheap plastic or cardboard not silverware, glass, cloth or ceramic.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I honestly wouldn't know because they clean that shit up at 9:30.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (4 children)

I have never seen a hotel breakfast that wasn't being put away by 9am.

You know another way you're not allowed to be lazy on vacation?

If you get an AirBnB, you have to clean the place before you leave.

Hotels have cleaners who clean your room so you can leave it a mess. I shouldn't have to do chores when I'm on vacation. One of many reasons I prefer hotels.

I don't want the shitty hotel breakfast anyway, so there! 😛

Im allowed to be lazy everyday if i want

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Just get used to eating hours-old food and you can get there at 10 just before closing time.

The staff might look at you funny, but you can wake up at any time you want and set your own schedule.

Life hack, you are absurdly drunk at 3am asking for French toast and Cheerios. Me 1, Hotel 0

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Why would I spend the time and money on a vacation just to waste it on being lazy? I can do that at home. On vacation I'm up before sunrise, take a shower, and grab breakfast before I start my itinerary for the day.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

If I wanted to wake up before my biological clock tells me to and follow a schedule, I could just go to work.

That sounds like work with extra steps.
