Koa Staff Need People Skills

Well today after I took ken to work I get a knock on the door and a KOA guy tells me I need to 'move back to my spot right away becausee someone is coming in' I went to the office to see which spot they were moving me to and asked, if I paid a little more could I stay where I was. The owner rather rudely informed me that I was a 30 amp customer and those were 50 amp slots. When I tried to explain to him that I had asked for the best/highest amp when I booked the spot and was told 30 amp was highest. I really didnt know. Some things the lower number is the better one. I guess I should have let ken book it, he knows more about this stuff. Anyways I tried to explain to this fellow that I had been miss informed and he started to get very aggressive in his manor towards me. He told me that they didnt have 50 amps available when I calledd in, he again got mad when I told him one was offered to me so they must of had some. He told me the people had booked spots here a year in advance. I mentioned to him that I found that hard to believe since I tried to book a spot a number of months in advance and they told me they would not let me book that far ahead and I had to call back September 1st to book. This mad him really mad. I guess it is embaressing to be caught in a lie. He then goes into a lecture on how people are without power here because of the storm and such, I told him that I felt bad for the people but that was not my fault and that I had prebooked so I should be seeen to before these poeople. So then he starts to talk to me like I am a child "You will go where I put you" So needless to say I am back in 61 where I was before. its a pain because the light from the rv place next door shines in all night so its almost like its day time but I will live with that.

I have to say I was proud of myself I spoke in a calm controlled voice the whole time. He was the one that looked like an ass. I doubt it will do any good but when I leave here I will report him and his rudeness to the KOA head office.

I went out looking at houses again today and found four that look good. One of them is really really nice. Its a little fartherr away but I do like it. We are going to take ken back there when we can and let him look around.
