I was just at the Gold Coast Buffet for breakfast, which runs from 7-10 in the morning. I got in a little before 10 AM and was finishing up about 10:50. Lunch begins at 11:00 and thought I would sample something before leaving. First, a server told me, and then a hostess came over and told me that I had to leave before 11 AM. I had only paid for breakfast and could not have lunch. Is this a new policy?

Many years ago, at the Circus Circus, probably in Reno, I did
something similar and agreed to pay for the more expensive meal.
Station casinos seem to be just the opposite. There's often a long
line to get in just before the next buffet starts because they don't
care.
It’s a new unadvertised policy just started. No mooching & no schnorring of food after meal time. You want to sample lunch, you pay with a sample of $.

I was being sarcastic. Schnorring is derived from the Yiddish word Schnorer which describes a cheapskate. For example, A Schnorer wouldn’t spit on the ground to feed the birds, OR pay a quarter to see the Statue Of Liberty take a leak.
(By the way, there is no such policy at Gold Coast. )

thats pretty sad, they atleast should warn you before you pay for the breakfeast. I’m surprised they care…its not like they start serving caviar at 11am
Ditto, I like their breakfast, they can keep their lunch.

Shnorrer (or schnurrer) comes from the Yiddish “to beg.” A shnorrer is a cheapskate, a freeloader, a moocher, someone who, without embarrassment, takes more than is appropriate … As in the lady who keeps returning to a sampling table at Costco or the fellow who was not an overnight guest, but shows up and loads up at a motel’s free breakfast.
Schnorring generally involves very modest $ values and is not limited to foodstuffs.
