Locals are good, tourists are bad, they may be good at business but wow some of the most aroggant people in the world easily. I'm a local, it's awesome,, being best buds witht he middle aged lifties especially!
But tourists.... ugggh
I was at the mountain and me and a friend were in the lodge eating some breakfast and the girl who does the counter at this lodge happens to be portugese, and she's wicked funny. Anyway some monstrous group of idiots were in line ahead of us and the girl was taking her order and was reading it back to her to make sure it was right, because the tourist woman had a fucking army of kids and you are always supposed to read back orders anyway. The woman goes 'Do you even speak english??' and whatever they got their food and sat down. So I got my food and sat at an open table nearby and overheard the woman, (she was practically yelling) about how bad the service was and she said 'They're all all just spanish speaking imported workers.' (FYI at this mountain non of the workers are timeshare workers) and 'When I was young we would wait in line for those kind of jobs when now they are just giving them to the first cheap worker they can find.' WOW I wanted to punch her in the face.
