Oh that crap is super common on restaurant wifi too around here.
The funny thing is that they can't actually validate the email address so most just accept whatever (sometimes with a small extra filter to avoid stuff like [email protected]).

In 8th grade, long ago, my buddy created a hotmail account: deepthroat50005.
he thought it was based on Metal Gear Solid's reference to the Watergate thing. Didn't get the other connotations -- at least not at first. He disowned it, and we laughed about it for a while.
I still use that email for anything that requires an email but I DGAF about. Hasn't been rejected yet...

I always use example.com, since it's reserved for examples, and guaranteed that no one is bothered by it. :)
Strangely, no one pointed out the obviously fake email address or phone number when I had the breakfast. Perhaps it wasn't needed after all.
