British behaviour in holiday hotel

[Scarfitwere]

We are staying at a good all inclusive resort (yes, I know all inclusive is not high end, but this is about as good a one as you can get). I am just shocked and ashamed at fellow british people at breakfast time. Letting their kids make a huge mess by allowing them to get their own food. Huge amounts of wasted food. Multiple untouched plates left on tables. Total disregard for others barging round, blocking walkways etc. When did this become ok?? AIBU with expectations? Bear in mind this is not a cheap rubbish tui-blue type place. I dread to think what they are like!

This please !! TUI blue for the summer holidays is about six grand for a week in many locations – I’d hardly call that cheap!!

This.

Thank you.

• not able to have a holiday this year 😭

Tui blue are NOT cheap as for British behaviour you've clearly never witnessed Russians at an AI hotel they're like animals I've seen them decend on the bbqs like locusts and take WHOLE TRAYS of food .

And they can drink!!

Are you sure? Are you sure they weren't British but with Greek heritage 😂

No, they were definitely Greek! They were friends of the owner, and regulars, from what we could gather from the staff.

Imagine enjoying your holiday and just minding your own business.

Ha ha you never know on here. Slightest thing can be taken the wrong way.

I was thinking the same. I’m on holiday but still don’t want to be arguing on MN all day. Far too hot!

Unfortunately that is exactly what you can't do at an ai as a load of randoms turn up and dominate the space.

Some people will be well behaved and some a lot less so.

Yeah but part of the fun of being in a resort is people watching.

Not unreasonable to be annoyed. Unreasonable to expect better though. I did an all inclusive. Once. That was enough.

People can be very self centred, especially where there aren't immediate consequences to their way of being.

Kids, especially under 8s, don't know better and will just overfill their plates. Parents need to get a grip and teach them.

My advice would be to try to chill out, stop being so judgmental and enjoy seeing cute kids having fun on their holiday even if they don’t match the standards you hold for your own. I love an AI holiday, I have a good job but find Tui Blue too expensive so go on cheaper ones than that! And they have always been fun if you unwind and go with the flow.

I like to get about and do stuff on holiday, but as a busy parent (and one child with significant disabilities), a FT job and a house to keep, I'm starting to dream of going AI and not having to do anything for a change. I'm far from lazy at home, because I can't be.

Such a LAZY, sweeping generalisation you have made there. Laziness is not just about physical effort, but thinking effort too.

Not really, stop looking to be offended. She didn't say everyone is a slacker, just that they would show up.

The mauling & piling up will always happen unfortunately. When I first saw kids helping themselves to ice cream at breakfast it made me smile, wouldn’t we all have loved this opportunity? You’ve obviously never seen how the German adults behave, they’re unbeatable!
