Love your post. It has long been a pet peeve of mine. Usually, those who complain the loudest about "sorry course condition" are the worst perpetrators. I routinely fill my sand bottle 2-3 times per round and repair 4-5 ballparks on every green. When we didn't have rakes,, i bought a small one and carried it on my cart to rake traps with. Apparently when Ambassadors quit giving out the "atta boy" discount cards, the etiquette got worse. Not only that but Ambassadors used to refill your sand bottles for you. Now they just sit there and say "help yourself" and use Covid as an excuse. They could wear gloves and safely handle the scoop but, I guess laziness is a spreading disease among us all.
