Slowest Event Tickets
Okay, as you know, I’m quite the complainer, so I won’t disappoint you this time either. I was at a ski resort standing in line to buy Event Tickets to several skiing events going on that weekend. The ski resort, apparently, hires the most incompetent or the most truly un-motivated people I’ve ever witnessed. It must be a requirement which the employees pass with colors.
So, yes, I was standing in line at the ticket window and there was one guy in front of me which seemed like he took forever to buy his tickets, it felt like a half-an-hour went by before it was my turn to get to the window. When I get up there, I told the ticket agent that I needed to purchase the bundle of six tickets, which allows me to attend every event. A simple request one would think, should only take one minute to print out, two minutes tops, but no, the ticket agent, for real, took like 30 seconds for each key press, literally. He would just stare at the screen for what seemed like an eternity and then press one key, then he would again stare at the screen for what seemed like an eternity and press another key. I mean, really, do they really not screen these employees for any sign of life? Any sign of cognition? A hint of intelligence before they hire them? It took almost 15 minutes for me to get my tickets.
Then, the guy at the snowboard check area, where I could store my snowboard, literally had this glazed look. Like he was stoned, really. He moved like a sloth, and it felt like he moved like a sloth on purpose. All the while a good size line was developing behind me, and I could feel heat darts at the back of my neck from all the people behind me thinking it was all my fault for the delay. I would turn around and shrug the best I could conveying that it’s not me, it’s him look on my face. That didn’t seem to stop the heat darts from flying straight at me. Holly cow, I’m going to have to email a complaint. Something I never do, right, but really, this was quite pathetic.
