Treat your hospitality workers with respect. The world doesn’t revolve around you just bc ur on vacation.
As many of us know, the majority of jobs here available in MB are tourism/hospitality related.. so I cannot imagine how stressful the last few days have been for all of us combined.
Some of the people that vacation in this town are some of the nastiest, trashiest, selfish ppl I have ever seen. If you are kind to others (treating those who serve you & assist you during your stay here with respect and decency like a human being) then this doesn’t apply to you. Thank you for being a good person.
It is disgusting and degrading the way some of these tourists treat us. Verbal insults, physical threats of violence, and for what? For us to just take it and smile and continue to help you? For many of the young people here they go to school to get hospitality and tourism degrees with the dream of helping others in this career field. For some others this is the only job they can get. Regardless of what reason whether good or bad it doesn’t mean ppl should be degraded or feel endangered where they work!
Working in the hospitality industry in other states, I have never witnessed the truly delusional behavior tourists have in other places that I witness daily here. It is embarrassing to observe grown adults (and even their insufferable, entitled teenagers) disregard treating others with basic respect because someone works in customer service.
We are here to help you have fabulous vacations. We want you to be happy and continue to come back for family friendly fun or whatever. But it is hard to do when we are constantly being berated. So remember the next time you are mad, do not take it out on a hospitality worker or take it personally if that person doesn’t smile big enough for you. you have no idea what abuse that worker dealt with before having to assist you.
Remember, yall. If someone threatens to physically harm you call the police! Do not let these people intimidate you!
