ZK –
We are shocked; just not surprised. To quote someone famous: Absolute power corrupts absolutley. And the folks that can fork over $$$ to go to a hotel, feel pretty powerful
Eclipse –
Your point is well noted (and your R and R was much deserved!)
Were the hotel you were staying at geared towards people who need the time away for reasons that cannot be spelled out here in the CR, I am fairly certain the tone would have been much more along the lines of what the majority of of CR folks could handle. But once you add the A++ crowd to the mix, they run the tone and show.
As for the mashgiach, his domain is the kitchen, the eruv, the shabbos locks, ect. The “tone” of the hotel is not one which he can have much control over.
But look at the bright side: the fact that you took notice of the laxity, shows that you’re still on the upswing!
