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.
Or you’re rich enough to afford breakfast from anywhere you want.
Hotel breakfasts tend to be more expensive than eating out.
Or they’re free.
Also there’s a linux distro in development names Aux you know!
That’s the conundrum - for many people anything that follows a timetable is not fun per definition.
Why do you need a dietician to run an IF protocol?
You will not find that I have said so. Hope this message finds you comfortably hungover and ten-fingered this Roswell Day
If you have to ask, then you’re one of those … Poor People ™. 🧐
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.
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
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
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.
Only reason I use an AirBNB is if it’s a unique location where there are no hotels (like a cabin in the woods on a river or something) but I agree, I only book ones that don’t have a ridiculous checkout policy.
I also hate that private equity has taken over towns with short term rentals making the rest of us pay more in rent.
We once used it back when it really was just individual people with extra places renting them out short-term when we stayed in New York, but that was like 2009. And then my mom insisted on paying for one when she went with me to the Mayo Clinic earlier this year, but at least it was just someone renting out the bottom half of the duplex they owned and not a corporation… but yeah, unless there’s just not another good option, I’m not doing AirBnB when it’s my choice.
AirBnB was better than hotels for like a year or two, then the landleeches got greedy
Cleaning fee and also you have to clean up before you go. What is the cleaning fee for?
What is the cleaning fee for?
It goes towards the owner’s next single-family home that they’ll turn into a rental
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.
I believe that’s called Brunch in classical English.
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
I like Drury Inns. They do have the standard “breakfast ends at 9:30” thing which sucks for late sleepers, but they also have a 5-7 pm “happy hour” with snacks and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks provided gratis. It’s a way to avoid paying for dinner if you can do it and you don’t care about your dinner being snacky stuff, but if you’re on vacation, let dinner be snacky stuff.
Pancake machine sounds fancy.
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.
“You can’t be struggling if you’ve stayed in a hotel before.”
Well I mean, the majority of hotels don’t even serve free breakfast anymore once they realized they could get away with not having it or making it a paid thing. This used to be common a while ago, when I’m sure Lemmy users used to be taken on vacations by their parents.
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
Could it be possible that these are different groups of people? Lemmy has like 70,000 monthly users now.
Lemmings only like to pretend to be poor.
Thanks for reminding me of the high school days. Very painful memories.
Life hack, you are absurdly drunk at 3am asking for French toast and Cheerios. Me 1, Hotel 0
Im allowed to be lazy everyday if i want
Lol I never got this.
I guess most normal people wake up pretty early, even on vacation.
We’ve let morning neurotypicals rule over us for too long!!
It is time to rebel & rebuilt!
(But a bit later, it’s like 9am here)I honestly aggree. I arranged my shit quite well, started working late, worked till it’s late. It is how I like it, I get really productive at ~15:00 till ~19:00. Now my children go to school (therefore I have to get up early) and they banned working after 18:00 at my company (thanks labour union, I get what you wanted to do, but you screwed me). My productivity dropped so much it stresses me out and I am constantly tired, because I don’t sleep enough.
Pull you in
Maximize profits by minimizing expenditure.
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
“Continental breakfast” means some shitty $0.50 box of dollar store knockoff brand cereal and a paper bowl.
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
Damn got that 5 star treatment
I don’t want the shitty hotel breakfast anyway, so there! 😛
Have you been to a hotel breakfast in Europe? So heavenly
Europe is a pretty big continent…the breakfast you get in the Netherlands is going to be different to the one you get in France or the UK.
Italy vs. Germany. The only occasion where Germany wins against Italy when it comes to food. But Turkey is where the real breakfast kings reside.
Hold up- did you just say German food is better than Italian? I have never once in my life seen a German restaurant. Italian restaurants are all over the place
Edit: apologies. I misread and that you said “is when it comes to food”. Sounds like I need to try me some German breakfast.
Sounds like I need to try me some German breakfast.
German breakfast is good, but it isn’t the greates breakfast on earth. But Italian breakfast is terrible. It is basically coffee and some sweet pastry.
IDK I might be biased but what you described sounds like heaven.
Meanwhile Germans fry sausages at every occasion, call that cuisine, and yet aren’t event the best in Europe at doing that.
No fried sausage at a German breakfast. That is England.
Its still weird to me how English breakfast is (that much of) a thing.
Like a couple of centuries ago for the difference in the sheer standard of living, sure, maybe at that point it was luxurious in terms of ingredients alone, … but still?
English breakfast is like the only decent thing to come out of that place
Which isn’t a high bar, but I agree with you.
Bri’ish food isn’t that bad, I mean the yanks deep fry butter for god sake.
Fried butter is like a novelty fair food over here, it’s not a real dish.
Blood pudding in the UK, on the other hand . . .
Edit: also I’m pretty sure Scotland would deep fry tf out of some butter

I didn’t say it wasn’t. Fried butter is also delicious. I was just making a comment as to the availability of the dishes in their respective countries.
