So, I get an online reservation and under dietary restrictions, she puts "no butter, no lard, no oil, eggs beaters only".
Sure, no problem. I seem to get more dietary restrictions than most other places...I tear my hair out, but I get through it.
They check in, and they turn out to be a young couple (on their honeymoon). I'm doing my check-in speil and about 30 seconds into it, she goes to the cookie jar, takes out a couple of cookies and eats them. At this point, I ask which one of them has the dietary restrictions.......of course it's her! I tell her those cookies are loaded with butter. I ask her to verify that she wants no fats....oh yes, she tries to eat healthy, just use a little Pam spray when cooking and very little cheese, etc. She opens the cookie jar again and starts eating. I check them in, they want to know if there is a microwave they can use to cook a frozen pizza, popcorn, etc. Now I'm getting upset but not showing it.
By the end of the night, they had wiped me out of cookies, I had refilled the jar and they wiped me out again! I know it was them, because they were the only guests in the main house. By the way, the cookies we are known for are made with 1 pound of butter!!!! This is when I decide I am not playing that game. In the morning, I made my usual fat filled yummy breakfast but I have substituted egg beaters, no problem. They ate every bite. The next day, same thing....I'm not playing her game. Again, they kept wiping out the cookie jar. Just to give you an idea of how many they ate, DH put 14 (yup he counted them) cookies in the jar before we closed up for the night. They were all gone in the morning. Yes, they're rather small but they are really rich.
When they checked out, their trash was filled with all sorts of junk food wrappers. I am so glad I didn't budge on my breakfast!!!!
At what point do we say that's enough?
