What Happened To Common Courtesy?

Lucky Mike · RV-Dreams Family Member

*These are the same type of people that leave without cleaning their site, yet refuse to use one that looks like the one they just left!!!!

*park at Walmart and can't understand why the Officer has asked them 3 times in the last 2 weeks to move along

Yes, unfortunately we have to share the world with these inconsiderate people. Just keep on doing the right thing, the right thing always gets rewarded at the end of the day....

Cathy: I also am a member of WKN and yes I have heard of this happening. It is a terrible shame how being responsible for ones' actions get thrown by the wayside when the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence. I just do my best to do the right thing, by choosing where i want to be, trying to feel out the attitude of the employers' before I commit to employ. Do a web search of the campground to see what it looks like (Google Maps); RV park reviews to get an idea of how people were treated; how close for needed supplies. The hours required, the terrain where I am parked for a few months.
There always will be a percentage who will make it difficult for the rest; but as you go; make sure you carry good references from the employers you work for; that also over rides the blunders of others. Best to You! PIEERE

We have never backed out of a commitment for a “better” job. How do you really know if it is really better unless you have served there before? A commitment is giving your word that you will be there.

On the other side: Last year we made application through a government website to 14 campgrounds that stated they were looking for hosts. We then followed up with e-mails to each one, individually, all 14. (We have very good references, which were in the applications)

While we were waiting we made a spreadsheet, based upon what information we had, to determine which one we preferred.

The results: Only 3 of the 14 campgrounds responded at all. They all offered us a position. The first park happened to be our first choice so we made the commitment and respectfully turned down the other two as they came in.

If we take an hour or so filling out an application the least the park can do is say: "We got it." Don’t use the excuse that: “We get hundreds of applications.” Computer programs are wonderful things and a response could be sent to all with one push of a button providing you have a decent data base.

Consideration runs both ways.

But what about all the employers that over hire and can the ones they don't want without any warning or compensation after the work camper traveled long distance for a job that doesn't exist.

It's the world today in general. Know that anymore, businesses can pick and choose and most no longer even bother to contact someone and let them know anything whether it be that a resume was received or after 2 interviews (plus possible testing) that the position is filled. With email, it is so much easier than in the "olden" days so I don't see any excuse. I was a secretary and I know what "was" proper. Guess as others have said, "research" where you are going.

Gypsy,

Add dog owners who don't clean up after their dogs if they think no one can see to your list.

Thinking I should have put this in "Community Chat". Yes, dog owners. I'm one and I carry plastic bags and if I see you try to walk away from your dog's pile, actually indirectly "yours", I will be so courteous to offer you a plastic bag. Yes, across the board, the Golden Rule has taken a severe hit!
