I have a deep and abiding sympathy for service workers in resort towns. You know, having lived in one for 3 years. People at home are bad enough. People on vacation are terrible. They are almost always entitled, obnoxious, and shitty tippers. Kids are off schedule, tired, and prone to tantrums - and parents don't want to deal because vacation.

yep, agreed! I'm pretty sure there's not enough money or motivation in the world to make me willingly do service work in a resort town.

Ditto.

Yeah, I can't even imagine the shit they must put up with.

on behalf of service people "thank you!!!"

It's not fun when you work in service and the total comes to $19.75 (for example) and someone asks if you can give them back the $0.25 in "small change, cause they'd like to tip"....... um.... we don't even carry coins lower than a quarter in the bar, because no.

Tell me about it. I waited table for a handful of years, and the number of people who were both entitles asshats and terrible tippers was astounding.
