Steal This Continental Breakfast: The Urban Forager's Guide, Vol. 1

Amazed the ACLU haven't already leaped down the throats of accommodations necessitating room important factors or credit charge playing cards before enabling access to the offering area.

Problem is, some of those eating aren't guests, says Hampton Inn manager front desk clerk Alfonso Tobenas. That's right. Folks walk into tourist hotels and pose as guests to gain access to morning chow.

I love that Tobenas worked "it is what it is" and the 305-friendly, "bro" into his opening quote. 

Taking what's not yours is somehow becoming fashionable with the socialists.What about the hotel guests who don't want to share the breakfast amenities with the local bums?

$7.50 for a hotel breakfast seems reasonable.  It typically costs a lot more than that, unless it's free; which I've never understood.

This could easily be taken care of.  Issue each guest a recipt that is to be used when they enter the eating area.  No coupon, you either pay or do not eat.

Stealing breakfast! My o' my, what criminals. Either they should sit quietly in the corner and starve to death or go to Wall street or Washington where the word "steal" no longer exists. How dare they. Muffin stealing, shot them on sight as well as those "grape testers" at the super market.

Oh crap!  Now the idiots are going to mess up one of the perks for staying at a hotel.  I always knew it was a matter of time.

  I slept in my camper van many times in hotel parking lots and would use the bathroom in the am, but never would dare to try to get a free breakfast. Stealing is stealing. All part of the liberal minded, Ted Kennedy culture, moral decline of America.

Hotels have some great breakfast these days.  Great opportunity to save money (When staying at the hotel, of course :)www.energyidealist.com

What a sleazy hotel!  People do this because they're HUNGRY.  How can you deny a hungry person food?  I'm glad that the name of the hotel is given so I'll be sure never to stay there.

People are doing this because they're hungry.  What a slezzy hotel to throw out hungry people.  I bet this same hotel prides itself on annual donations to charity, too.  How about charity beginning at home, bums?

A) A sad testament to what passes for "ethics" in our society.  Short of cash?  Just steal breakfast.

B) A sad testament to the incompetence of our corporate leadership.  If you have people walking in and stealing breakfast, how about oh, maybe hiring someone at $10/hour for a couple hours a day part-time to check room keys at the table?   If it's even $25 worth of food taken you break even.  If not it's really not an issue worth worrying too much about as that is about $.10/room/night.

I used to work at a place where the GM thought "we couldn't afford" to have a $3.25/hr employee watch a thing where we charged $1 for you to use it.   About 500 people a day used it, and almost nobody volunteered to pay the $1.   He was losing $500/day in revenue at a small business till I took over and stopped that.  For $15 or so in payroll costs we brought in another $500/day.   Some people out there in management are just smiling faces who know how to get promoted.  They can't even do basic math.

It's stealing plain and simple. 

Hi,

It's really looks awesome. I think i fall in love with those picture. I want to know how can i get this lovely food. Thanks for sharing such beautiful pictures. Keep sharing

I hate to point out that this has been happening for years all over the country for free food and using the hotels pools. I have heard many people tell me how to do this for over 20 years. And it's not only poor people but poeple looking to eat cheap. It is still stealing from the hotel and thier guests both

If they are hungry and can't pay, it's better to ignore the situation than to have them resort to theft and violence to survive.

Way to write an article openly advocating theft. You should be ashamed. 

LOL!!

jigga says obumma he be gonna pay for my mortgage and breakfast. Yo just upset cause a black man is in da hizzo and he gonna turn America into a third world hell hole ghetto. Diversity in action. Ship em all back totheir continent where they will be amazed by the wheel and fire.

The hotels should be glad the flash-mobs don't come in for breakfast.

Local motel has it on their sign free breakfast, nothing about staying there.  So.....

This is nothing new,One of the gals I worked with a few years ago, her and her hus would do that just about every morning, she was so brazen, she would take danish, rolls, fruit from the buffet, and eat it for lunch at her deskPSShe was making well over 50,000 a year

This nice guy is acting on the erroneous assumption that these are human beings doing this, so he treats them like humans. Eventually he'll probably be murdered by one of them or their "baby daddies." I'd immediately have them either in handcuffs or laid out in front of dey screamin' keeyids, and I'd laugh about it.

Sad sign of the times we live in. People are hungry and cannot afford to eat. Some may be just cheap bs ers but many are in need and don't know what else to do. Expect this kind of thing to become much more commonplace.

ObamaVille

The Obama constituency in action.

FIRST, these "free" meals are not worth the $7.50 if a freeloader is caught. At least the continental breakfasts I have had. The incentive to lure customers with these "perks" is more criminal.

SECOND, using the free breakfast for free security, or using your position in law enforcement to obtain special perks that position affords is of no concern to anyone else. There are no losses experienced to anyone else if these exchanges occur, so good for them.

A little supervision at the buffet would help reduce the number of free loaders.  I wonder how much of the food is thrown away that otherwise could be consumed by the homeless?

I've been doing this for years.  But I only do it if the hotel I'm staying in doesn't have as good of a breakfast as a nearby hotel.  Then I just go over to the other hotel and chow down there.  I don't mind if the management wants to have a heart and let other people come eat.  Hungry people need love too.

I am sure people have been doing this forever.

Spread the word folks: for your own good and that of others. Check out cbc.ca, Nov. 30th, short interview about your country and food stamps? It was just on program called "Mark Kelly Connects."  1 in 6 people using food stamps?  We were speechless. Consider the trillion bucks wasted on wars the pasts 10 years.

Let them eat the stale continental breakfast. It will make the hotels freshen up the food.

I would authorize a "shoot to kill" order for the perps! 

Activate the Ohio guard.

All they have to do is claim to be a part of Occupy Miami, then every local Democrat politician will support their right to engage in petty theft.

LOOK FOR A NIGEROID with a CRACK PIPE in his POCKET----MIGHT NOT BE A TOURIST !!!!!

ON the OTHER HAND----ROCK HEADS are EVERY WHERE-----I KNOW----JUST BAN ALL NIGEROIDS!!!!!!

This is nothing new folks!

You can spot the tourists because they be white, and they don't speak Espanol. Why can't news stories be straight up with people?

Hope and change in action. Liberals destroy whatever they get control of. Our public education system is the most expensive on earth yet ranks 37th. Was first after WW2. Liberals can't run a 7/11 let alone a country. Lets get back to a meritocracy and do away with all the racist divides Libs have been erecting since the 60s. They are truly deluded imbeciles who pompously think by taking from the productive people and filtering their hard won dollars through an enormous bureaucracy so that a few bucks trickle back into society, they are morally superior, despite a mountain of evidence to the contrary.
