We were told by the attendant that we needed a “coupon” before we could eat at the breakfast bar? OK, this was our 3rd morning, and we were not asked this the first two days ? We got a “coupon” from the front desk and while we were eating we observed several new people coming to eat and NONE of them were asked for a “coupon” ???
