For the past three mornings at the RI I'm staying at, I've seen the same gentleman show up near the end of breakfast service, help himself to the last boxes of cereal, fruit, and japanese breakfast items, and, when the staff isn't looking, sneak into the prep area to grab the last scoops of egg/biscuits.

I'm not talking about just packing a plate of food to take back to the room; I'm talking literally two plastic grocery bags at a time, as if he's just come back from the market or something.

I've seen the assistant GM and breakfast staff admonish him, seemingly to no avail. The ...'t GM had even pre-empted his attempt at the cereal one time by bringing the cereal rack to the service area herself when he arrived.

Has anyone else ever witnessed this type of shameless hoarding of food? Did you report it? How did the staff handle it?
