ME: 8/1/07 Why Continental Breakfasts get a bad rap

We went to the free continental breakfast at our hotel around 8:30. They only had cereal, instant oatmeal, and bagels. There was a jug of 2% milk and the whole milk stand was empty with a note scribbled on a napkin apologizing that they were out of whole milk and would have some between 7:30 and 8:00am. They obviously missed that deadline.

I had instant oatmeal with lukewarm water from a thermos mislabeled as "hot water". Marty dispensed some corn flakes into a styrofoam bowl only to discover that the lonely jug of 2% milk was also empty. She ate dry cereal with sugar but no milk while I ate my lukewarm oatmeal. About the time that Marty finished, a man showed up with 2 gallon jugs—1 of whole milk and 1 of 2% milk.

We were not impressed.
