Every company I've worked for has always had "that guy" who can only fly business, chafes if the sheets aren't 1,000 count, despairs when sharing a cab with a co-worker, has a receipt for every tiny thing and believe it's his absolute right to gourmand dining when traveling. When I'm traveling I try not to be "that guy." YMMV.
No one on here is demanding gourmet options or designer breakfasts. They’re saying that the free breakfast buffet is often way below an acceptable standard and they are choosing to buy breakfast elsewhere instead of forgo it entirely.
