Speaking of strange nuances between innkeepers and guests made me think of this question - perhaps there are situations as innkeepers don't always like a certain guest, that a guest might not like a certain innkeeper?
Maybe they are avoiding the innkeeper. I am sure it happens. I have met an innkeeper (no longer in the business) who was the helo-hoverer we all warn about. She waited eagerly for guests to return from dinner to see what they ordered and how they liked it detail by detail. She called it "Service" I think the guests (majority) called it pestering.
What would you do if you didn't like the innkeeper? Avoid? Present as little conversation as possible? Skip breakfast altogether? Leave?
This is a good question for the NON innkeepers on the forum to chime in.
