Because they are all regular people!Hospitaleros can be cranky. Just like regular people. Pilgrims can be overly demanding. Just like regular people.
No.Anyone had ever encountered any trouble ot unjust behavior from Hospitaleros?
HelloI guess you are referring to content in your other thread that got closed. A good thing imo.
Hello im Pablo C Vergara - artist.
Its my first camino ever.. been loving it but then this happened...
I just stayed in Coca's Pilgrim Hostal and ive received some harassing treatment twice in two days. Now I dont know if its a cultural thing or if i am over reacting but I had to stay an extra day (and paid my 5€ fee too) because im nursing a busted ankle. The Hostal has a poster at the door stating the method of accessing and paying for the service, its completely automated and online. Well it was 9pm and I was using my headphones, in a room at the second floor and door was shut so i...

But to answer your question : deal with it. Like lots of hospis also have to deal with cranky pilgrims.
Or flight attendants with obnoxious passengers. Or a well mannered customer has to deal with a bad mannered salesperson. Etcetera etcetera.
Less entitlement and more common sense might be of help.
Nope. I’ve met a few pilgrims I wish I hadn’t.Anyone had ever encountered any trouble ot unjust behavior from Hospitaleros? If so, what was it and what to do??

Woah!!! Have you ever, even for a moment before you dismissed the possibility, considered that it might be you and not them?Hello
Not referring to that incident but yet ANOTHER one.. except this one was straight up a bad entitled person with bad intentions that caused me to almost sleep in the streets !
Anyhow.. I'm assuning once I reach the French Way more options will be available..
It wasnt a comment. It was beyond that or else i wouldnt be posting about itGet over yourself and move on, that would be my advice. Not sure why you're letting a comment from a stranger at a 5 euro albergue wind you up so much.
Well I gave him an extra 5€ since thats the only way to get cordiality from some greedy bane peeps.. he indeed changed his tone on me. *shakes head*Woah!!! Have you ever, even for a moment before you dismissed the possibility, considered that it might be you and not them?

I was a comment. Your post was clear. They said some things you didn't like. We only know your side of the story. I suspect theirs would differ somewhat. Regardless, a thing was said days ago and here you are still talking about it. Move on. You're only negatively impacting your own camino by going on and on about it.It wasnt a comment.

€5? €5 doesn’t even get a smile out of me. Some people obviously sell themselves cheapWell I gave him an extra 5€ since thats the only way to get cordiality from some greedy bane peeps.. he indeed changed his tone on me. *shakes head*

As I said just now, volunteers are exactly that, volunteers so they wouldn´t be doing it if they didn´t want to. Having said that, they give up a lot of their own free time and they work hard to look after pilgrims, of whom you are one. If their behaviour is not always exemplary, cut them a bit of slack, i.e. be tolerant and ask them politely and quietly if there is a problem. Then move on. The next hospitalero you meet is sure to meet your standards.If so, what was it and what to do??
Yes, that was the post in another thread. This thread is apparently about another incident.I was a comment. Your post was clear.
Its all about money to some. Apparently.€5? €5 doesn’t even get a smile out of me. Some people obviously sell themselves cheap
It was a completely different ordeal. You don't know that.I was a comment. Your post was clear. They said some things you didn't like. We only know your side of the story.

Dont you have nothing better to do?A quote from the OP “Hello im Pablo C Vergara - Im in the Film Industry and been on some TV shows and NETFLIX.”
I hope he gets a good series out of this adventure
If they are to volunteer into taking care of pilgrims they shouldnt be cranky or pushing their buttons like how this specific one did with me. If you dont like your job and you are bitter, quit. Dont take it on the travellers who may be tired or even injured or BOTH. Which was precisely my case and yes, I wish to report this one too.As I said just now, volunteers are exactly that, volunteers so they wouldn´t be doing it if they didn´t want to.

I dont want to.So please explain the details then instead of these vague angry insinuations.

I dont want to.
I've walked 4+ caminos and the hospitaleros are some of the kindest and generous (and tired!) folks I've encountered. Your response to hospitaleros, and responses on this forum makes me wonder if perhaps you're not emotionally and mentally ready to be on the camino.
Consider how you are the common denominator in these situations.
Why is some people here cant accept bad incidents without calling people names or mocking things? Its my thread, you dont have to read or reply.Well then it stops here for every reasonable contributor.
Seems you will have to solve it all by yourself.
I sincerely hope you can handle your anger issues.
And yet some people are calling me 'angry'.. well wouldnt you be?Do you want to know me and my story and why I have spent close to 1000 dollars to come here?
This hospitalero intentionally closed the doors of an albergue to deny me entry. I almost slept in a park bench in a very cold night (there were no hotels available) And then got literally in my face (twice) when i arrived to the next town where he was working. I dont care who he thinks he is, im reporting this incident.

I guess 5€ too short for this hospitalero is a good reason to leave a pilgrim out in the cold at night. Straight up EVILAgain, we only know one side of the story. Hospitaleros aren't in the habit of denying pilgrims entry into an albergue without good reason.
Do theres a mental and emotional requirement to do the camino? I should've read the small letters.I've walked 4+ caminos and the hospitaleros are some of the kindest and generous (and tired!) folks I've encountered.

I will tomorrow. If my original post was vague its precisely becuse i didnt want to make a big fuzz about it or escalate it, but it seems people.really want to know whats up. Im at fault in some things, its my first camino and im learning, but also, im injured and had a misfortune that made things harder... things they dont seem to care about when they scream at you (two hospitaleros have btw.. yes, two)How about you explain clearly and simply what happened? Then maybe we can get some idea of why it happened.
It is extremely unusual for a hospitalero to refuse admission to an albergue.
Ive had two bad incidents alreadyNo Pablo. Why do you ask?
This is when you found me yesterday screaming at the wind 'im through with this small towns!' And yeah I am looking forward to reaching a more transitted route with more options and less issues.Pablo,
If you are still on the Camino Madrid, you've chosen a much less traveled route. I hope when you get to the Frances, that you'll meet other pilgrims who can give you the support you are seeking.
We can’t tell because we don’t know the whole story. We don’t have a clue as to what happened!And yet some people are calling me 'angry'.. well wouldnt you be?
Ill elaborate tomorrow.We can’t tell because we don’t know the whole story. We don’t have a clue as to what happened!
So why bring up the topic?I don't want to.
Moderators’ note: we have invited the OP to give a full account of what happened so we will wait for their response before taking any action.This thread is very “Cluster B”, maybe it is time to close it as well???
