Just completed a fine stay at the Dolphin. But I must say I was first amused and then annoyed by the abuse of CL privileges. A woman who our family tabbed "Cookie Lady" must have acquired a bakery's-worth of goodies in her room before her stay was completed. Every afternoon after enjoying already generous portions of all available food and beverages, she would leave CL with a plate stacked high with HUGE cookies and beverages--as did at least one of her grandson? nephew's?
Now I understand that it's more than fine to bring back a plate of goodies for someone who couldn't make it to the CL area or to bring a little something back "for the road", but this was an obvious case of "milking" the perks of CL priviliges to extreme limits. Besides, her excessive cookie collecting left others who came later wondering "Hey, what happened to all the chocolate cookies?"
I can only hope that "Cookie Lady" represents a small percentage of CL guests. I know I should just mind my own business and not cast aspersions on others but it just sort of bugged me that someone would take advantage of a business in such a way.
Has anyone else observed similar behavior in CL? Am I in the minority for thinking there is anything wrong with "maxmizing" one's CL benefits?
