Sorry this is LONG!
My family - grown children, grandchildren, pets - came down for a week to visit with us. This morning my sons went down and set up six chairs on the beach close together. We didn't take up more than 15-18 feet. They said there was nothing else (chairs, etc) anywhere near ours. When we went down two hours later, a beach chair rental vendor had moved three of our chairs back in order up set up four of their own, with umbrellas.
We asked the people sitting there if they had moved our chairs and they said no, the chair vendor did. I got the number displayed on the umbrella, called the vendor, left a message and the guy called back and apologized. He said his worker who put them out should not have done that - they are not supposed to touch other peoples property.
We ended up squeezed into a smaller area and all is fine. I do feel SO BAD though, because I was so rude to the people who had rented the chairs and through no fault of their own, ours had been moved. I apologized to them, but it was on the middle of my rant, so I'm sure it did not sound sincere!
Personal note: no need to read this if you are just interested in beach chair rental policies and violations. I found out last week that I have a serious health issue that will require surgery when I get back home next week and more than likely follow up treatment. I have been snapping at everyone this week, even though I am trying so hard not to. I'm thinking that might be why I was rude to the people sitting in their rented chairs, just trying to enjoy their vacation. I feel so bad. Maybe I should go to the doctor to get some "don't give a flip" drugs....
