Frequent Flyer, surely you're not implying that the purpose of your flight was to "enjoy a meal"? Because honestly I can think of 200 other places I'd rather eat than on an aircraft.
But to answer your question, if I had paid 200 odd pounds to stay in a hotel then discovered the breakfast service was rubbish or non-existent I would simply walk out and buy my breakfast somewhere nicer. I wouldn't feel too put out as the money I paid was for the bed, not the meal. If the room was good and I had a good sleep hang the breakky. Likewise if I'd paid over a hundred pounds for a flight I'd realise it's the journey I'm paying for not the lukewarm cuppa in a paper cup.
I'm not one to dwell on things much. I've had appauling service in just about every kind of business you can imagine as a customer and always I just shrug my shoulders, walk away and find somewhere better. It's the nature of life for things to go awry and I try to look for the positive in everything.
