HOTEL guests were left stunned after a group "pulled out Tupperware" during a breakfast buffet.<\/p>\n
One man took to Reddit to share his shock when he witnessed fellow holidaymakers pack up their lunch with food that was put out by the staff.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The traveller was spending a few nights away with pals recently when they headed down to the restaurant before starting their day.<\/p>\n
As they were halfway through eating, a group staying in the same hotel started pulling out plastic containers and filling them with food that was still left out. <\/p>\n
The Reddit user claimed they were stock piling for their lunch so they wouldn't have to pay for food throughout the day. <\/p>\n
He said: "The other day I stayed in a hotel with friends. We had the hotel breakfast buffet. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"To my big surprise, half way through the meal they pulled out Tupperware boxes and started making lunch. <\/p>\n
"I was completely surprised. Yes, the buffet was expensive, but this felt like 'cheating' to me. <\/p>\n
"What is the etiquette here? Is this a normal thing to do?"<\/p>\n
The post gained thousands of people's attention – who seemed split by the guests' actions. <\/p>\n

Not really high up on my list of ethical issues."<\/p>\n A third said: "Technically it\u2019s wrong but I always load up extras from the complimentary breakfast at a hotel to snack on through the day."<\/p>\n However, some were divided and thought it was completely out of order. <\/p>\n One person said: "At first I was just thinking they were at a free continental breakfast like a lot of hotels but if it was paid for, no this is not generally accepted. <\/p>\n "You don\u2019t take free to-go plates at a paid buffet."<\/p>\n A second agreed: "A bit of bread or some fruit is fine to me, but you don't take an entire supply for your lunch."<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It comes after travel experts revealed the best hacks for when you're going abroad.<\/p>\n They include the best way to save money and how to travel with a kid.<\/p>\nExotic beach town crowned cheapest hol for Brits – with \u00a31.60 beers & white sand<\/h3>\n
