On the contrary, I was a goody goody. My point is that when a business does something extremely stupid that makes you miserable, they need to be called on it. If it's ruining a vacation that you saved up for and anticipated all year, an idiotic management decision needs to be called out. In short, if simple complaints don't work and the problem continues to make you absolutely miserable, bigger and bigger steps need to be taken. For example, before having to block open the doors or hold a sign, I assume DVC would either cut the fragrance or move you. But if not, what do you do? Suffer silently? Not me.
And if it's not that bad, then complain, but put up with it. Ultimately, I fully understand that most people won't go that far. But I also understand that management will get moving if an obviously embarrassing situation is sitting on the doorstep, or even is threatened. In summation, the problem has to be:
(1) bad enough to warrant a complaint,
(2) left unaddressed or ignored by management, and
(3) very important.
In reality, I personally have only gone this far once in my life, but I've had to threaten it on several occasions that ultimately got rectified. I refuse to let a multi-billion dollar company make my hard earned vacation miserable. And, no, these steps are not warranted for minor disappointments or inconveniences, but they are at least to be threatened if, as a prior writer posted, the stink was truly horrible for asthmatics.
