Calling for improvements respectfully

Respect the Patrons Who Support Your Events!

It’s fete season here on our beautiful island of Antigua. I attended the annual Farmers Only event on Mother’s Day. Upon arriving at the first gate, I was checked by security.

Although I understand that security personnel must remain vigilant while performing their duties, it does not give them the right to be blatantly rude to patrons who paid their hard-earned money to attend these events.

I raised my concern with an agent at the second gate, where I was informed that multiple other patrons had complained about the same issue.

We attend these fetes to enjoy ourselves, not to be scolded or treated disrespectfully.

This also seems to be becoming a trend, so promoters, please speak with your security teams to ensure that patrons are treated with respect and professionalism.
