The way I look at it, the tax system treats gamblers very unfairly, and the casinos are very deceptive and dishonest in their marketing to gamblers. I won't comment about taxes, but I'll just say that I haven't bought soap or toilet paper in years. I don't feel bad. The casinos in Atlantic City say that my rooms are comped, but they add extra fees that are not taxes remitted to the government and try to hide the fact that these are fees that they keep. When I stay at Bally's I pay $13 for the "comped" room but the actual taxes are only $5. If you look at the bill, the way they word it is so misleading that you wouldn't know what charges are for what. I had to do a lot of research online to find out what the actual taxes were. Whatever I take from the room does not come close to covering the $8 per day they are pocketing from me for a room that they are claiming is free.
Looking at your situation another way, if the hotel cared about who ate that breakfast, they would have had some sort of system to prevent or at least discourage people who didn't pay the extra $10 from eating. Did they at least have a big sign saying that you have to pay? In a way, they were trying to cheat you by asking for an extra $10 when they didn't care who ate their breakfast, especially when a meal like that probably only cost them a dollar or two at most.
