Sad, but true!
it's a sad day when it comes to this. Probably not a good idea. If this a-hole is ripping on the collector for no reason, what would he do if you were to try take his picture. It's very unfortunate that none of the witness stepped up and ripped this a-hole a new one.
That's exactly the problem pipes. At the start of this season we discussed taking photos of each rig as they arrive. They wouldn't even know they were getting their picture taken. At the end of each day, if there's no problems the photos get deleted. Funny, even some of the members on here stated we were Stupid to even consider doing this and one member even went as far as stating, it was "Childish". This same girl got the same treatment last year from some Idiot and this was an idea that was brought forward. So sad to think that the trail pass collectors have to work in pairs to be safe from members of the snowmobiling community. I agree that one of the witness's should have stepped up, but what can you do. Personally there's no way in Hell I could stand by and watch that happen, but some people can't handle confrontation. This has really got me riled up!
I hear what you're saying, but right now we can't get anyone willing to step up and sell passes. If we have to pay 2 sales people on a commission basis or a decent hourly wage, we may as well not even sell passes. All the money will go to paying wages. We're a small club, not the size of Revy or Sicamous and our area isn't as popular as those, so we don't get the numbers of riders through our areas to support 2 sales people. Gas stations have 2 attendants because they're usually in residential areas where any Dirt Bag can go in rob the place and we all know it happens, a lot!. Our staging areas are over 30 miles out of town and the element we are dealing with is not Criminal. We are selling passes to other "Like Minded" people who you really shouldn't have a problem with. Are you familiar with other clubs legally taking photos? If so let me know who and I would like to ask them a few questions.
This was also discussed and I believe is going to be put in place very soon. And, cnelson, you're so right, Karma does catch up eventually.
