Your sympathy is not necessary. I was telling you thst your complaints display a lack of understanding.
1. Yes, this was also a learning camp. 7 envelopes.
2.same (possibly same camp)
3.there is a difference between expecting to tip – translation being to slip a bit of extra money – to the waiter, and getting a list of recipients with expected amounts totaling hundreds.
5. You have a great sense of humor
6. If you truly knew how we/they live, you wouldn’t have made most of your other comments.
One of my sons also went as a waiter because we could not afford for him to be a camper. He went knowing there was no salary. If his intent was to earn money he wouldn’t have taken the job. Every penny he received was a gift. Not an expectation. It is your employers job to pay your salady. Camps have no business requiring fees that take us all year to pay off, and expect us to pay their staff as well. On top of all the other purchases we have to make just to send them it is an unreasonable request. And putting it in the brochure dodsnt make it more reasonable.
