Free Breakfast Poachers

Do you ever travel with others in your party and one of you were lucky enough to be confirmed in the hotel which offers "free breakfast" and the other traveller wasn't as fortunate? I've never really thought much about this before, but as you'll see on this forum which I read from time to time, this practice happens rather frequently and they're pretty darn slick about it too.

What experiences have you had or seen while staying away from home and enjoying your free breakfast in the morning? Homeless? Other hotel guests who just act like they belong there? How about at Embassy Suites when they have the "manager's reception"? Free drinks anyone?

Then you have some business traveller's who will meet with their client and "treat" them to a free breakfast. LOL Now that's really, really tacky lol
