In our little corner of the world, vacationers flock by the thousands growing our tiny hamlet from about 6,000 people in the winter to around 50,000 in the peak of the summer – but why the loss of civility? Those are just the folks returning to resorts and vacation homes. That doesn’t count the daily flow of people twisting necks to look at Lake Michigan and parking throughout the evening to watch the million dollar sunsets we’re so famous for. I believe every year, in some form or fashion, I comment on how people don’t vacation the way they used to. I’ve bored you enough with people being “wired,” but the swearing at teenage servers, howling at bartenders, spitting vitriol at hotel staff and retail operators has gone way too far. If your drunk, go home quietly or stay home and drink. If you complain about the food and service everywhere you go, stay home and cook. If you have ten dogs on a leash, don’t be surprised if facilities can’t handle the load – especially around people eating. If you have 13 people and don’t make reservations, don’t yell at the person on the other end of your voice trail when you can’t be seated. Don’t call seventeen year old young ladies bitches. Don’t spit booze at them when your yelling. I could go on and on. If your on vacation, lose the schedule; take off the watch; and for god’s sake, be nice to people. If you wonder why teens and young adults won’t fill some of these jobs, you only have to look into the mirror and see the reason why.
