    Hotels be like: yes 06:00-07:30 is the time most people eat, let's have breakfast then

    That's the thing I hate the most about free hotel breakfast: by the time normal people get up, they've already shut it down for the day. I swear they do it on purpose to save money.

    Just how late do you wake up?

    I often stay at hotels for work, and by 8AM I'm leaving so I can be wherever I need to be at by 9, so yeah, breakfast needs to be around 7h30.

    Even at home this is a usual schedule, since commuting is a pain.

    By 10AM at the latest probably most places also need to wrap up service so they can clear up and prepare to serve lunches in a couple of hours.

    It's not that unreasonable...

    1. I don't go on vacation to work. I go on vacation to relax. The work phone stays off while I'm away from home.
    2. I work afternoons, so on an average workday I go to bed around 3:30-4:30a and get up around noon. I would never work a job that requires me to get up before then. The only people who get up in the morning are old people, workaholics, and people with kids. I am none of these.

    Pre pandemic 52% of hotel nights were booked by business travelers.

    Even if that were true, hotel use is pretty evenly split between business travelers and tourists, both are "normal"

    The globe? Sure. A region, or even a country? It's more common than you think. Sales, 'professionals' with conferences, and people that work for large companies that have people meeting.... these all move large amounts of folks around for work, and hotels are easy to book, invoice to the company, and are generally next to a conference center or have it in the same building.

    In a lot of hotels people in other rooms start making noise around that time anyway, so you might as well get up and enjoy a big breakfast that you dont have to prepare yourself

  • That's the ticket. Worked in Tempe for 3 weeks. Come non work nights I was wondering what I should do, so if I was tired Id pop some edibles, laugh at a movie for a bit, wake up with munchies and get breakfast, then go back to bed until afternoon.

    Didn't want to spend much time outside when it was daylight anyways. Sun starts to go down, find a dive bar or something.

    People sleeping in uncovered blankets and pillows triggers me so hard, why do people do that?

    I think its the fact that you dont have to prepare the food. You wake up, throw some shit on and just fuck off to eat for an hour straight because they have all the food you would ever want.

    A change in environment often energizes people.

    That and you pay good money to go on vacation. Why would you waste it sleeping, which you can do anywhere?

    Not if I'm by myself in the hotel/trip.

    I/someone paid for the bed & I'm gonna use it.

    They'll still stop serving breakfast at 9 sharp and you'll be hungry until lunch. 🙁

    I'm not one of those people that needs to eat at precise intervals or even every day. I just eat when in hungry for something.

    In summer dinner is usually my first (and often only) meal.
    I almost never eat breakfasts (especially if I woke up "only" a few hours ago). Never could, even parents wanted me to but I just had better days without breakfast as a kid so they stopped insisting.

    I assume that when I travel I have access to food basically everywhere or else I know I have to plan that - which again I do in a way that I eat when I want.

    ... because you want to or because breakfast ends before you normally get up?

    If I am on vacation I miss about 95% of all breakfasts in Hotels. They are too early.

    And if it is a free breakfast it usually is garbage anyways.

    There are exceptions but they are very rare.

    Spot on. I love being almost alone with my breakfast, tons of coffee and my book.

    Am I missing the joke here? Your God damn right I'm going to be up eating the delicious breakfast buffet when I'm on vacation. And your also right that I'm going to sleep until lunch on the weekends so I don't need to expend effort for breakfast. I literally can't see doing this any other way.

    I just back from vacation, stayed at a hotel that had free breakfast from 6-9. I was in that hotel for a full week, didn't make it to breakfast once. Felt like a waste of money, waking up at noon and walking to a breakfast place nearby, but I'd rather pay for a meal than wake up early so 🤷‍♂️

    Anyone up at that time on holiday wears socks with crocs.
