It's so weird seeing almost 500 upvotes on a post like this on lemmy where, based on comments, like 90% of it's users can barely afford rent, let alone going on vacation and staying at a place that offers breakfast.
Young-leaning and tech heavy. In my case I'm trades rather than tech, but the result is the same: company has work they need done out of town, so I end up in a hotel
Oh it's just the usual people that complain that they can't afford anything but somehow they've visited 35 countries so far in their life and are planning their next trip to add one more to the list.
There are also people outside of america. In my country i could afford to go on a week-long vacation every year in europe with basically a minimum-wage salary if that is what i want to prioritize in life.
I mean, I travel for work a lot and have to stay weeks in hotels. And weeks means weekends, so yeah I can relate.
There's a lot of people I meet around the world that travel like me and wouldn't be able to afford those same hotels for a vacation... like me lol
Well I mean, the majority of hotels don't even serve free breakfast anymore once they realized they could get away with not having it or making it a paid thing. This used to be common a while ago, when I'm sure Lemmy users used to be taken on vacations by their parents.
