This is so sad but so true! As far as I’m concerned it’s no great loss. Glad I tried it but and done for me...

Reminds me of the regional days. Stay at a mid market business hotel with free breakfast and watch the FAs (and not just a few pilots!) clean the place out of stale bread and muffins, oatmeal packets and yogurt. Truly embarrassing.

I watched a couple of FAs dump an entire bowl of scones and pastries into their bags after a hotel waitresss
restocked it for the flight crews in Dublin.

Got to take them home to feed their dozen cats.

For better or worse, this is human nature whether it be health care, housing, or crappy asian deserts. People had difficulty exhibiting self discipline when they don't associate a cost to their actions, abuse of a "system" is naturally to follow.

A phenomenom that I noticed is that Europeans, especially Southern Europe, and most of the other non-western world, don't believe in the concept of queuing up for anything unless the scene is explicitly set up in advance. Whether it be learned from years of scarcity post WWII or just in their culture, if something is being given out (even if there is more than everyone there) they will crowd, snatch and horde on a first-come first-serve basis, whereas Americans generally will almost self form a line and que up for things that aren't even open yet and most, by and large, will attempt to take the proper amount and move along.

Just my personal cultural observation, and of course, there are many situations and occurrences that defy the norm.
