Nobody paid for anything. It was a casino buffet and it was free. It was a
lousy buffet. My now husband didn't like the food either so we didn't
bother to eat there the next day even though we did have to pay for our
breakfast at the restaurant.

Again, it was a free buffet.

Well apparently you never stayed at this hotel/casino. I won't give a name
because I am not certain which one.

Generally there are. But there were not here.

We also stayed at a hotel in WA DC that offered a free breakfast that was
fine on the first day but only leftover pastries on the second day. It was
also their last day in business. The maids were going nuts, running down
the halls and tossing shampoos and other little things at people. They were
just trying to get rid of it all.

Not really. In the old days it was a lot more common for free breakfasts to
consist mainly of pastries or donuts. I have stayed in a great many
hotels/motels over the years. My parents loved to travel. And with my
husband having been in the military we have made many cross country moves.
In more recent years, even motels that offer breakfast now usually seem to
offer a balanced meal.
