Yes, I've had breakfast comps at hotels on occasion (for reasons unrelated to an elite status), but still, this property should follow some sort of better process that what the OP describes. Personally, I would have no problems with the other person getting a comp...I'd just be frustrated at the general disorganization and chaoticness of the entire thing.
That said, it's just breakfast and I'd probably do exactly what the OP is doing....not make a huge deal of it at the hotel, but post it on FT as soon as I had the chance!
