Gene03 0 #82 April 18, 2007 These petty inferences that all packers are low lifes are starting to irritate me. When I'm at the DZ I'm up at 6:00 am every day...

peregrinerose 0 #84 April 18, 2007 Damn, where do you work? There are 2.5 packers at our DZ and we are all treated very well by every jumper there. They all know we pack well, we care, and we bust our asses all day long to keep loads flying and keep everyone in the air. We even throw all of our tips in a jar and every summer host a Customer Appreciation Day... last year we bought the DZ a very nice new grill and bought enough surf/turf, beer, and sides to feed everyone.

billvon 2,400 #88 April 18, 2007 > why is it that most jumpers treat packers like dung? In my experience most jumpers do not treat packers badly. Some people are dicks to everyone, and packers are no different - but fortunately those people are in the minority. >I think that packers are very hard working jumpers who get very >little respect if any. i am courious as to why. Respect has to be earned. I tend to treat packers like anyone else i.e. I'm polite to them and don't yell and scream unless there's a good reason. And once I get to know them better, often I have a lot of respect for them as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peregrinerose 0 #93 April 18, 2007 Quote Does the .5 packer just do half ass work? Nope, he just spends more time talking than packing, so ends up packing 1/2 as much as we do. Plus he has the nerve to be moving in 2 weeks so won't be around much to pack any more We'll miss him. Even if he does talk too much. I had to use the phrase 'shut up and pack' entirely too much last summer! Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

apollard24 0 #95 April 18, 2007 I love my packers. They work hard and take care of me and I feel that Im pretty generous in return (as far as tipping). I always do the please and thank yous, etc. It all boils down to treat people how you want to be treated. * this may have been said already but I didnt read the whole thread, sorryBreathe out so I can breathe you in...
