Holidaymaker reduced to tears after she's buffet shamed at all-inclusive hotel
A holidaymaker was left upset after enjoying herself on an all inclusive break only to be scalded by a fellow holidaymaker.
Lauren Saddington admitted she was enjoying tucking into a decent amount of food on holiday, working her way through three plates at lunch and dinner. The indulgence left the 26-year-old feeling a little bloated.
Lauren, of Burnley, Lancs had a run in at her resort in Ölüdeniz, Turkey where she is currently on a two week break. The podcast host said one morning another woman staying at the resort approached her at the breakfast buffet.Initially, the influencer thought that the guest was going to say she recognised her from her TikTok channel. But instead, Lauren was left horrified by what the guest had to say.
Lauren said: “She says ‘Hasn’t your belly grown, it’s really big’. I’m stood there going ‘Oh I don’t know how to handle this’. And then she says ‘Well I just thought you were really pretty the first week I saw you and now your belly’s huge’.” Lauren added: ”And then she went ‘You must be pregnant'?”

She claims that she told the woman that she was just enjoying her food at the all-inclusive resort. After telling the woman that she wasn’t pregnant, Lauren claimed the woman gasped in shock. Lauren said: “There was sheer horror on my face because I didn’t know what she was getting to here. (I said) 'Do you know what, I hope you are mortified because I would never even ask someone if they were pregnant if I saw a massive bump on their belly'."

“Now, guys, I do look pregnant. I've eaten about 10 plates of food a day for two weeks. But you don't say that to someone. And if you do, you say, 'Are you pregnant?'" Commenters were quick to come to Lauren's defence, arguing that the woman had been out of line. "Wow I genuinely cannot believe someone had the audacity to even say that!!!" one exclaimed.
"I think she must have been incredibly insecure and saw an in to tear another woman down," another added. As tempting as it may be to get your money's worth and indulge as much as possible when confronted with a buffet, this may not be the best idea. According to the experts at Cruise Critic, there are some foods you may want to try and swerve, particularly when on a cruise.
Pre-made sushi rolls are top of the list - as even the freshest fish can go off quickly if it's out on the buffet for a day or two. Pizza is another food to keep an eye on - especially if it looks like the cheese has congealed, a sign that it may have been left out for a few days.
As for dessert? The Cruise Critic experts suggest opting for a bowl of ice cream rather than a cone, using the logic that you're likely to transfer germs from the well-touched soft-serve machine to the wafer container, which you then eat. One particularly sage piece of advice offered by the cruise culinary experts is to speak up if you see something amiss.
"If you notice the person in front of you touching food and putting it back at the cruise buffet, realise that someone has contaminated a vegetable-only dish by using utensils meant for meat or if you see that the tongs have fallen completely into the food, handle and all, alert a crew member and avoid taking any of the potentially contaminated dishes until they've been replaced with fresh ones," they write.
