Yes, let's ALL work together, but ALL means ALL. Sitting in a cart, under a shade tree near watching these kinds of behaviors, smiling, helps NO ONE. Even "friendly" resorts that depend on paying customers, do not tolerate the abuse that is a daily, not weekly, not monthly, but daily occurrence here !
