A Very Bougie Lunch
Los Cabos Travelog #4
Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos - Sat, 4 May 2024, 4pm
Our plan for today was simple: we'd get to our hotel in Los Cabos, check in, eat lunch, and figure out what to do for the rest of the day. The schedule got a little late with all the waiting at the airport after we landed. Then checking in at the hotel entailed so much personalized service it felt like the part of buying a car where the price negotiation is done and now you've got to finish all the official paperwork with the F&I guy. You know, the part where you're like, "Cool, I've made a deal on this great car, now I want to drive home!" except they want to show to sign a few forms and then show you how to unlock the doors and turn on the windshield wipers. But, hey, our room is amazing.
That amazing room is part of a swank resort. We knew that meant getting lunch at the hotel cafe by the beach would be an awfully bougie experience. Generally we don't care for bougie lunch. Normally we'd go somewhere off-site for a fraction of the price and none of the pretentiousness but it was a'ready late- 2:30pm by the time we able to start lunch- so we went to the cafe this once as the quickest solution. It was a bit more bougie than we expected.

How bougie was it? Three things:

How bougie was it? Three things:
- I arrived wearing a hat, so they brought me a hat rack to stand by the table.
- They brought a battery powered fly swatter to keep flies away from our food.
- The food was uninspired and bland, safe for people on their first trip out of Iowa, and the bill came to $133. 😨 (And that's with only one drink apiece.)
