We are experiencing this everyday in the restaurants we visit and in the hotels we have been staying at. It truly has been disappointing.

Yeah, and if adding mandatory resort fees aren't bad enough, one place in Waikoloa that my daughter recently stayed at, told her it was $8 more a day if she wanted the room A/C turned on.

If the service industry isn't providing service then spend your money on tangible durable goods.  Preferably stuff that you'll buy once and cry once instead of chip board and cheap Amazon crap.  Building a nice bar at home with a nice booze selection and all the appropriate plumbing is going to get you a lot more enjoyment then going out, wearing masks, papers please, and then getting nickeled and dimed for crappy service.  Or.... and I doubt any of you guys have though of this..... buy more guns.

I keep trying that, but the value of my purchase drops as soon as it leaves the barrel
