Odds are they probably are irreplaceable. No can find anyone to hire right now.
They are. However, we can complain not only to USC (who appears to be tone deaf), and the company. After all the company's reputation is being affected negatively by the way their employees are enforcing supposed USC policies. You can enforce policies without being complete a**hats about it.
Still unsure what policy enforcement we're talking about. Which thread is this in?
It's more the general harassment of the fans. For instance, no one is supposed to sit on row 1 or 2 this year. We get that. But harassing the little kids that go down between innings to get balls from the guys doing warm up tosses is a bit much. The general harassment of anyone they suspect is a student who's doing nothing more than sitting in a seat and enjoying a ball game because is a bit much (especially when they are telling students "you can't sit here, this row needs to remain clear" when there are adults sitting on the same row and nothing is said to them - happens a lot in regard to rows 1 and 2). Telling me and Daddy we can't tell Blue he's blind when he misses a call, and threatening to throw us out (yeah...right) is a bit much. Fussing at people who may have a toe on the red line separating the concourse from the handicap seating is a bit much. Fussing at people for being across the red line when they are having an actual conversation with someone who is sitting in the handicap area at the top of the section (this has been happening for years) is a bit much (happened to a friend who was talking to Brett Kerry's grandma who was in her motorized cart - event staff made a beeline to them and said "you can't be here" when they could tell they were having a conversation with her).
Beginning to believe when full capacity returns the atmosphere will not be like the good old days. Precedent is being set right before our eyes. Unbelievable. I remember it being said Max Schrock's mom mentioning the atmosphere was one reason her son chose to play here.
We have been letting them know for years about how the staff treats people. All we get in return is crickets. Thursday night a little boy was playing with a foul ball one of the players gave him. He accident threw it and it ended up on the tarp. My friend leaned over the rail to pick the ball up off the tarp for the kid. The event staff came down and was yelling at my friend that he couldn't go over the rail. Seriously yelling. It took her longer to get down there than it did for him to get the ball back for the kid. That is uncalled for, but it been that way since the ballpark opened with this staff.
Last year at the football games they were VERY relaxed. They didn’t even come into the upper decks. I don’t even remember seeing anyone being thrown out of the football games.
Batgirl, you are a lot closer to the situation at Carolina day in and day out than I am. The staff I work with would not tolerate yelling like that, I haven’t seen much of that at all. Who does the staffing at Carolina?
The only other thing I can think to try is to have fans record these obnoxious idiots and share it all over social media. And tag Ray Tanner, Caslen and the BOT (if possible) in every single one. If enough of those go viral, that MIGHT force them to act.
That's the plan from here on out. A great many long time fans are fed up, and we fully support the students in this.
It's the same people that work football and basketball. I recognize a lot of the people from both football and baseball. The lady who used to work our section at Football confirmed it a couple years ago. She's also worked baseball a few times over the years too.
Excellent plan. Once it hits social media someone will have to address it. Wouldn't surprise me however if they banned phones to stop it
We've been tagging everyone on posts on Social Media. But perhaps videos will actually get a response. That's one thing that I don't understand. The absolute silence from the Athletic Department on the issue.Excellent plan. Once it hits social media someone will have to address it. Wouldn't surprise me however if they banned phones to stop it
Also, when people know they're on camera -- especially when on the job -- they tend to be on their best behavior.Excellent plan. Once it hits social media someone will have to address it. Wouldn't surprise me however if they banned phones to stop it
