As we\u2019re sure many readers will agree, complimentary all-you can eat breakfast buffets are one of the best aspects of staying at a hotel. This is what a group of friends on TikTok thought when they loaded their plates with what they thought were \u2018free\u2019 food items, following a trip away. However, while they were chowing down on their food, they were served something wholly unexpected \u2013 a $100 bill at the end of their meal. \u201cThe silence after getting a $100 bill for a hotel breakfast that we thought was free,\u201d the poster can be heard saying. \u201cI\u2019ll accept it, but I\u2019m never gonna (get over it),\u201d she states. TikTok weigh in on \u2018complimentary\u2019 $100 breakfast After the video was posted on TikTok, it quickly went viral, with many people eager to weigh in on the situation. Some had had similar experiences themselves: \u201cHilton did this to us. Paid for breakfast to be included with the room. It was $45 for a child &#038; I. I told them we paid already &#038; they charged us after we left. Emailed &#038; called and never got back.\u201d \u201cThis happened to me! it was literally described as \u2018complimentary breakfast.\u2019 I was shocked when they handed me a bill when I tried to walk out,\u201d another shared. Some however, were slightly critical of the group, suggesting that they should have known that the meal wasn\u2019t free, writing: \u201cIf it\u2019s not buffet style it probably is just a restaurant,\u201d sarcastically, followed by a laughing emoji. A hotel worker commented on the situation, sharing what she does to avoid this type of confusion with customers: \u201cI work at a hotel as a breakfast server and we have buffet style too! It\u2019s common that most customers think breakfast is free, so I always let them know before getting!\u201d Another customer went viral after they got furious with wait staff after an automatic tip was added to their bill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Customers shocked after being hit with $100 bill for \u2018complimentary\u2019 breakfast TikTok: @byshannonbrookeCustomers at a hotel were shocked after loading up their plates with what they thought were complimentary breakfast items, only to find that they\u2019d actually racked up a $100 bill.
