Sure, go ahead and say something. You'll be ignored or laughed at, hopefully nothing worse. One thing it certainly won't do is "work".
If I'm getting a quick breakfast before running off to my meeting, I'm not concerned with counting the people in line behind me and rationing the sausages out. I want to get my plate of breakfast, eat quickly and go. The hotel's job is to refill the tray. If you politely said something to me, I would politely tell you that the hotel will bring more, and if I'm in a particularly good mood, I may even point out the empty tray to staff for you. If you were impolite, while I'd certainly never resort to any type of physical altercation (others might so be careful), you're going to get it right back at you...if you're one of those people who relishes confrontation over stupid things, then go for it!
