Is Accenture so cheap that when you book a hotel through CWT they purposefully don’t include the breakfast so you have to spend per diem on continental breakfast?

Nothing wrong with that. If they do include breakfasts, you are not supposed to claim per diem for that breakfast.

Touché

The best breakfast is you don’t eat breakfast

45mg Adderall and a warm dark mug of realizing your own insecurities is the only breakfast that could possibly keep you even remotely healthy in consulting...even then it will destroy your liver and heart over time.

I am working in Germany and breakfast is always included in the hotel rate. Never had a different case.

Status?

Hotel breakfasts everyday are bad for you. There’s plenty of healthier ( and lower cost) alternatives

I include breakfast, client pays 16 euros for me to take 3-4 pieces of fruit that I'd otherwise have to pay 1-2 euros our of pocket during lunch at their canteen.

But I do sometimes also get mysel a bacon and eggs breakfast. Should probably sub it for something else though
