I would say it's Underrated.
There are threads however, that will remain (hah!) nameless - but their very mention would turn this into being Overrated.

Surely no one rates a nicked bread roll from brekky? That's just bl00dy tight.  I say tight, coz if you're genuinely that hard up, what the hell are you doing on a ski holiday??

Absolutely! Ideally with some pilfered bacon, smothered in ketchup then ineffectively wrapped in a paper napkin so the sauce leaks out into your pocket and gets all over your phone.

When we were running ski chalets it was a common occurrence. It wasn't the people on a tight budget though, it was the well off posh types. The more skint customers bought bread and stuff from the shop down the road.

@robnic,  I agree by the way. And cheap, nasty bog roll has got to be the ultimate insult!
@RobinS, I worked for a season many years ago and, yes, the richer/posher the clients, the meaner they were and the more liberties they took. It was very difficult for me to keep my temper with some of them.
