Pet peeve: luggage cart hoarders!

[grest Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close grest]

We were leaving after a week at Wyndham at Lake Marion in SC, and lo and behold, there were no luggage carts...after an hour, still no luggage carts. So we went on without one, carting things to the elevator and then to the car. People apparently thought they wouldn't get one this morning so they held them in their room...thanks a lot!

I remember staying at Orange Lake one year on an upper floor and the same thing happened. People have become very selfish.

Exactly. It's the "I got mine..the rest of you can fend for yourselves" mentality. Don't even get me starting on shopping carts

Exactly what I was going to say . . . in the East Village. They would grab them the night before checkout and take them to their units.

Even before night before and yes East Village. Next stay we had a ground floor, so no problem.

Next time block the elevator door and see how much good the carts do the hoarders then.

When we had our van, and did drive-to destinations, we took our own . . . a collapsible rolling clothing rack with a plywood luggage shelf.

We never had to wait to unload or load.

We just returned from the San Luis Bay Inn and noticed that people were bringing carts up to their rooms in the evening. I guess we were lucky to get one Friday morning as there were two left.

Here's an idea. Cart GPS, locate a cart anytime. A way to make MONEY !
Resorts could add a fee to yearly maint. fees. Another way to seperate money from locked in owners !!!!!!!! I LOVE FEES !

And I thought lounge chair/palapa hoarding was bad enough.

We were at Marriott Ocean Watch last April 2010 and there were over 20 carts in the loading and unloading area. There were no shortage of cards.

I've seen this before and am amazed that there are people who only think about themselves. Hey, if their flight is so early they have to leave the resort at 04:00 then fine, I can almost understand that and the carts should be back in use long before the vast majority of the resort needs them. But that's not typically the case.

With the advent of extra luggage fee's at airports we've become pretty adept at packing lite nowadays. One checked bag, two carry on's and the camera bags. If I work at it I can get it in one trip. Most of the time I'll either make two trips or, I'll load what I can the night before.

Other similar behaviors are those that drive as if they are the only ones on the road, drive 50 mph on the highway because they're to involved in their phone conversation or texting and people who jump up at the gate and block everyone else when first class boarding is called, even though they're in group 6.

Based on your previous posts I'm surprised at this comment.

Per your oft stated opinion, there's no reason for a timeshare to operate any whit differently from a whole ownership condo. Accordingly, luggage carts is simply a frill that any well-managed timeshare will not have.

In fact, I'm surprised you didn't point out that the presence of luggage carts at a timeshare documents the malfeasance and corruption in the management of the resort. And that some diligent owner (but not yourself, for reasons you haven't made clear) should use the presence of luggage carts as the basis for a lawsuit against resort management.
