We recently stayed at a Residence Inn in Wayne, NJ. The hotel itself was fine. It's usually a great place to go with kids since breakfast is included. This particular hotel also included dinner Monday-Thursday. It's always funny to see how people react to a free buffet. We saw some people take yogurt, bananas, and muffins and they were not going to be eating these items any time soon. Probably snack for later. Maybe not the proper thing to do, but at least they ate breakfast there.
The baffling part to us was when we saw a very large tour group take 3 tables to place buckets and buckets of Kentucky Fried Chicken with all the fixings that they brought in. If that wasn't enough, they then did not understand how a buffet line works. They were cutting in front of everyone else, grabbing plates and plates of the buffet food. Now, the other guests that were actually just going to eat the buffet had to wait for more food to be brought out from the kitchen because the chafing dishes were emptying so quickly. Didn't seem very fair.
The part we didn't understand is why the restaurant or hotel staff didn't stop them. If the tour group wanted to bring in food, maybe they should have been given the option to use a conference room or the picnic tables outside. The staff didn't seem to care about that, but they seemed very aggravated that they had to keep filling up the dishes. Well, they should have stopped the problem before it happened.
This was just dinner, you can't imagine breakfast. The only difference was that they didn't go to Dunkin Donuts and bring in breakfast. They just made sure every single one of them had every single item on their plate that was offered.
In order for us not to have to wait until lunch time to have breakfast, we went to Dunkin Donuts.
