In Response To: Rules of the Road - Beach Style (Capt D)

I understand that a few bad apples will leave a bad taste in your mouth. Sounds like Capt D has taken one too many bites. Anyone with any sense knows the rules and tries to follow them. They shouldn’t have to be posted. Maybe the “tourons” could post a list for the business owners and the like, that depend on the revenue.

1- When a customer tells you that there are cockroaches in your establishment, don’t reply that they are “water bugs” and nothing can be done about them. I personally do not like to watch them crawl on a counter as I am eating my food.

2- When someone is clearly on vacation and wants to pier fish, make sure you have a pleasant person working the counter. Fishermen really hate getting a grunt and a disgusted look, when they obviously are spending money to fish on your pier and want to know what bait is being used for that day or season.

3- Just because you are a full- time resident, doesn’t mean you own a particular fishing spot, unless you are the property owner.

4- Most “tourons” save up all year to enjoy a week or two of the beauty that “natives” get to enjoy year round. They get excited and want to see and do as much as possible. They are not normally rude, just in a hurry.

5- When hiring employees, make sure they have a pleasant attitude, know the area and can speak and understand English. It really helps in an emergency!

Anyone that has taken the time to travel to the Outer Banks will know what a wonderful place it is, and will want to return many times over. I may leave NC, but it never leaves me! Natives can turn into tourons..That’s when you get a good look at the people you left behind, like I have done.
