You don't see through it?Jane - OW / Self-employedApril 3, 2008 at 06:11:42Gee wiz, sorry for delay just got back from overseas, now from what I heard Laurence the fact is that Mr Ball wanted to take 13% of all the tips but his crew just about had a
mutiny and he accepted the fact that he could only really get his hands on the credit card part of the money, thats a fact is it not? I hope the staff over the years have got value for money, Mr Ball had what 3 to 4 boats at one point all collecting 13% -- thats $6000 to $9000 a year he collected, hot dang that's some go-cart party. Let's face it Mr Ball is a business man and just like the scam a few years ago with the pricing rip off its the same deal
here just against his own staff because he is to stingy to put a little money into some goodwill for his crew. A tiger don't change his stripes, he ripped off the Americans and now he is ripping off his staff. You could say the chickens have come home to roost anyway, he had a few ships and whats he run now, one 20 year old boat? From what I heard thats a story in itself how he lost it all. Seems you are happy with the situation Laurence but what about all the other crew,
are you saying all the staff are happy to have Mr Ball taking money given to them by the passengers for service they did onboard -- not some office staff who go home at 5 pm. |
