Man Jokes About ‘Recovering Room Rent’ At Hotel’s Complimentary Breakfast; Internet Says: ‘Absolutely Relatable’

Most hotels in the country offer a complimentary breakfast for their guests. From different types of breads and cereals, North Indian and South Indian food items, to desserts, hotels prepare a massive spread with multiple options for the people staying with them. And this buffet often leaves people confused about what to add to their plate and what to miss. This experience was humorously described in a post shared on X by Deepak Sahney, originally posted by a doctor friend of his. “Hotel complimentary breakfast is the place where a man eats not out of hunger but out of a sense of recovering the room rent,” the individual joked. “At home, two toasts suffice in the morning, but the moment he picks up a plate in the hotel, the inner chartered accountant wakes up.” The doctor shared that people often reach for fruits, paranthas, idli, poha, sausages, croissants and more. Once the first plate gets full, guests take up a second plate, usually meant “only for the omelette,” but it soon becomes another full serving. The post also highlighted the struggles of hotel breakfasts, from bread getting stuck in the toaster to complicated coffee machines. “Is This A Meal Or An Old EMI?” “The waiter comes to clear plates and you, while saving the half-eaten idli, say, ‘It’s still going on.’ Is this a meal or an old EMI that must not be closed?” the doctor remarked. “In the end, the stomach has already surrendered, but the eyes fall on the sweets. We wrap one muffin in a napkin and keep it for later.” The person joked about the condition of the stomach after having so much food, writing, “Then back in the room we cannot lie straight on the bed for two hours and proudly declare, ‘No need for lunch today.’ That is the real saving of hotel breakfast: money is saved for one meal and the digestive system does two days of overtime!” *Hotel complimentary breakfast* is the place where a man eats not out of hunger but out of a sense of recovering the room rent.

Awesome,” said a user. “The best I have come across of all the topics in recent times. So very true!!! That said, during the next visit I will merrily forget the stark truth and gorge. Pity me!!!” another user wrote. An individual pointed out, “I don’t know if that’s the correct assessment. I think the sheer variety of a buffet tempts you to sample everything. And if you’re going to be outdoors the whole day following breakfast, it may feel like a good idea to some to have a heavy breakfast if they’re going to have no lunch or a light lunch.” Someone else shared, “Absolutely relatable, and I find nothing wrong in doing so. Most of the time you stay in a hotel because you are on business or on pleasure (why not tourism?), as the hotel Industry itself calls it. Day schedules for both are packed with meetings or tours, with little time for lunch.”
