I stayed her last night prior to boarding an early-morning flight out of JAX.
As I was checking in last night, I asked about the complimentary breakfast. The front desk clerk, who was nice enough, explained that they had continental breakfast starting at 5 AM and then a full, hot breakfast at 6 PM.
This morning, at 5:15 AM, I went to the front desk and checked out. Afterwards, I went over to get someone to eat at the breakfast bar. Suddenly, the front desk clerk bolted from behind counter and positioned herself between me and breakfast bar and adamantly declared, “Breakfast doesn’t start until 6 PM!”
I politely explained that the clerk from the night prior said that a continental breakfast was available at 5 AM. She simply stated a little louder, “BREAKFAST DOESN’T START UNTIL 6 PM” as she guarded the bar like a Fort Knox guard protecting gold bullion.
So, I said, “I guess I can’t just grab a bran muffin to go, huh?”
Now, she became agitated and yelled “BREAKFAST DOESN’T START UNTIL 6 PM!”
As, I walked away, she went on some silly tirade about how they had just had a staff meeting about breakfast didn’t start until 6 PM. As she babbled, she repeatedly and passionately pointed to a sign that gave the breakfast hours. She was still blabbering about the breakfast starting time as the automatic doors closed behind me.
It’s difficult to describe how impassioned this clerk was about the breakfast starting time, but suffice it to say it was downright bizarre. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Okay, I get it. No breakfast until 6 PM. No exceptions.
Oh, the room was dated and needed upgrading.
