Someone had to print that out.

u/SkyKnight3 16h ago

Someone also had to type it

u/MyrddinSidhe 15h ago

Someone thought it was a brilliant idea and wonders why they haven’t moved up in Marriott Corp

u/Clark_W_Griswold-Jr 14h ago edited 1h ago

Someone thought 30 minutes of coffee and muffins would show a real ‘remembrance’ after 25 years have passed. They may as well have made it 25 minutes instead. Truth is most people likely found this sign in ‘remembrance’ of their bargain ‘30 minute remembrance’.

u/RobotArtichoke 13h ago

Should have made it 17 minutes

Thank you — let’s not give them too much credit

u/SpaceStethoscope 10h ago

Never forget

u/flashh_2005 8h ago

Someone confirmed that is a good idea and took full responsibility

u/type104 6h ago

From 9am to 11am ?

We have AI now, you can just whisper utterly depraved things and they happen.

u/Lost-Comfort-7904 14h ago

There was at least 3 meetings about this.

u/anorris-1 7h ago

There was also a pre meeting and  before that a zoom

u/juju0010 9h ago

I took this picture, lol. Always funny when I see it posted every year. Sorry Marriott.

u/PuzzleheadPi 16h ago

Looks fake

u/Groovy-Davey 15h ago

I’ve stayed at the Marriott. Even if this image is fake, it probably still exists.

u/Tater_Mater 14h ago

Yeah they did

u/IT_Chef 13h ago

This image is very old

u/DomeSlave 7h ago

From before printing was invented?

u/Al_Tilly_the_Bum 16h ago

Those are the same muffins they had sitting out at the continental breakfast that ended at 8:30

u/GeronimoDK 16h ago

On September 11th 2001.

u/Artorius__Castus 16h ago

Them's going to be some stale hard ass muffins after 25 years

u/Venku12 12h ago

Yea but they're free! Can we really complain when we fuck our teeths up?

1

u/Relevant-Bit-7394 10h ago

It would be considered hardtack at that point 

1

u/Working_Estate_3695 15h ago

Bam! Nice follow-up.

u/Ethric_The_Mad 16h ago

"In remembrance, we will leave breakfast leftovers on the table. Thank you."

u/Additional-Window-81 16h ago

Damn a whole 30 min of free muffins

43

u/randomname748 16h ago

And mini muffins at that

u/OnesPerspective 15h ago

Should've been french toast sticks

Freedom toast sticks.

You forgot to mention the coffee!!

13

u/wonderbat3 16h ago

Don’t underestimate how many free muffins I can put down in half an hour

4

u/uncultured_swine2099 14h ago

The more muffins you eat, the more of a true patriot you are

24

u/Harlequin_WitchKing 16h ago

Should at least have them out till the second tower fell.

3

u/AbsoluteDarkness 11h ago

ONE PER PERSON, PLEASE!!!

2

u/Jeramy_Jones 7h ago

Nah, imma need at least 9 coffees and 11 mini muffins before I can honestly say I paid my respect.

1

u/uncultured_swine2099 14h ago

Im shocked they werent free anyway. Continental breakfasts are usually complimentary.

1

u/B-Train_ATL 12h ago

At first you think someone accidentally left out some free muffins. But 30 minutes later, you know it was intentional.

1

u/Separate_Phrase6598 12h ago

one for every load bearing beam that gave way that day 🙏

46

u/joshuagalbreath 16h ago

Spared no expense and pulled out all the stops!

u/SamOfXanadu 16h ago

.... Isn't that the times the planes hit the towers.... Lol

31

u/Suitable_Wonder5256 16h ago

yeah at 8:46 and 9:01

Outside of that window, it would have been moot. It would be like holding your birthday party on a different day. That's not acceptable. Come on. Be more culture.

11

u/Exact_Negotiation106 16h ago

The best time to enjoy muffins is during the occurrence of the tragedy

5

u/Suitable_Wonder5256 15h ago

It's the time to reflect about life and muffin

1

u/Haskimo_ 15h ago

At least everyone will have a snack during the moment of silence.

u/Case_Blue 4h ago

Shit! I missed that detail :D

u/Gold-Kaleidoscope537 15h ago

I think that’s the point which makes it so much more cringe

27

u/Colascape 16h ago

It’s what they would have wanted

u/agitated--crow 15h ago

The terrorists? 

4

u/wump_world 10h ago

Lord no. The terrorists acted to combat the moral depravity of things like mini muffins

1

u/Jeramy_Jones 7h ago

They hate freedom.

And miniature baked goods.

14

u/hogger303 16h ago

Please tell me this is rage bait

15

u/redditisaweful 16h ago

I have google and it’s shows that it is real. Marriott made that back in 2013.

u/Few-Ad7795 16h ago

This way, the terrorists don't win.

1

u/B-Train_ATL 12h ago

But I thought I was supposed to go out and shop for muffins.

6

u/Battle_Cat_Burr 16h ago

If you’re laughing about this, ask yourself how many mini muffins you’ve eaten in remembrance. Let that sink in…

1

u/RobotArtichoke 13h ago

I’d probably have one for each plane. Any more than that would be disrespectful

5

u/kayl_breinhar 16h ago

At long last we can close this horrible chapter in our nation's history.

u/randompersonx 16h ago

While I have no idea if this photo was real or edited in the first place… I’ve seen this meme numerous times over the years… it must be over 10 years old by now.

u/freetotebag 16h ago

This image is almost as old as 9/11 itself

That whole album is a banger. He’s not just funny, he’s smart, and also a good musician.

u/Moist_Amount_106 16h ago

A nicer touch would be bacon sandwich and a bikini car wash

4

u/Bodycount9 16h ago

This is a very old photo taken by someone else.

5

u/Alarmed-Extension289 14h ago

I appreciate the thought Marriott but not every business needs to craft a corporate narrative around every tragedy.

u/Massive_Wafer5005 16h ago

Couldn't even make it a clean 8:30-9:00 LOL

3

u/Suitable_Wonder5256 16h ago

Because the second plane hit at 9:01am. The remembrance would have been moot because it wouldn't cover both planes.

u/Last_Group9038 16h ago

I'll have what I'm having!

u/sicurri 16h ago

Do hotels no longer do stuff like this everyday anymore?

2

u/bodyarmourbynokia 16h ago

9:10 to 9:11, think about 9:11

2

u/Most-Significance910 16h ago

They should have ended the muffins at 9:11

2

u/Key_Report_2627 16h ago

Literally, just WOW! I can’t believe the generosity and compassion that they felt to offer this! AMERICA at its best!

2

u/BeingEnglishIsACult 16h ago

That is so cheap

2

u/BuffaloGwar1 16h ago

Dam. That's pretty not generous.

u/Fen1972 16h ago

Well…their logo does look like two towers falling over.

It would have been better to do nothing

u/GirthGrowth8948 13h ago

That was so nice of them. Yes types ironically and with sarcasm

u/Redfish680 13h ago

It’s sacrifices like this that make me proud to be an American.

u/mrhappymillennial 12h ago

And when you're 1 minute late they'll charge it to your room.

No way is this real

1

u/B-Train_ATL 12h ago

I think The Onion made it 10-15 years ago.

u/Suitable_Wonder5256 12h ago

Subway is already going down. No need to knock them more like that.

Their sandwiches fed me for years during my hard time, and I'm grateful

1

u/DookieShoez 8h ago

I’m sorry, but subway can go f themselves.

They charge wayyyyy more now for wayyyyy shittier quality “food”.

1

u/Suitable_Wonder5256 8h ago

Meh, in US, it's very difficult to find a big sandwich for $5-$8 (total).

Really appreciate their businesses

1

u/DookieShoez 8h ago

5 dollar footlongs are lonnnnnng gone dude.

I’m in the us too and there are sooo many better options. But do you.

1

u/Suitable_Wonder5256 8h ago

Even now, it's not like there's cheaper option.

1

u/DookieShoez 8h ago

Dude any mom and pop deli blows them out the water for the same price but ok

1

u/Suitable_Wonder5256 8h ago

Not true. The quality is also hit or miss. I'd just say it is worse than subway most of the times. And in many places it's hard to find this kind of delis. Then, they stare at you for tips

At least they had the decency not to make the Marriott logo look like the twin towers
