Diners were made to serve a good, cheap breakfast. Sometimes you need to spend $6-8 on some eggs/pancakes/greasy meat/toast etc. to get your day started. However, I will not pay for hotel breakfast ($5.50 for a bagel and cream cheese? No way!) and I can see the resentment there.
And Brunch, now there's a meal worthy of top dollar.
