CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT IS SO WRONG ABOUT REPS GETTING MONEY FOR BAR CRAWLS??? (WHICH BY THE WAY WE DON'T. IT GOES TO THE COMPANY) AS THE AVERAGE WAGE IS 400-450 A MONTH AND THAT HAS TO PAY FOR ALL FOOD, DRINK, CLOTHES ETC THEN I THINK THEY DESERVE IT. DON'T YOU??
This Is Matt, the rep for the commodore, signing out for the season. The commodore is a nice hotel , very family orientated, but everyone who was there while i was there reps had a good time, cos im a people person!!!
here are some handy hints for your experience of zante airport from someone who repped in zante for 2 years and did at least 3 airport shifts a week, every week!
arrivals:
-you will probably need to wait in excess of an hour for your baggage, so my advice is to walk straight past the 1 conveyor belt and out to your reps and tell them u r heading outside for some fresh air. this is also where you will need to go for a cigarette (u won't have any probs getting back in so no need to worry)
when you see them ticking people with baggage off their list, wait 10 mins and then go in and get yours.
departures:
this is where the fun begins......
-when your reps tell you which queue to get in, listen to them and do it. believe me there is no other way to do it. the most senior reps and sup**visors have been on the island for years and they have tried every method possible and this is the one that works. yes you will have to queue outside but when you do get inside you will see that it is impossible for everyone to queue in there!
-if you see anyone pushing in, have a quiet word with the reps and they will kick them to the back of the queue. it pisses us off as much as it does you guys and if the queue jumpers kick off then remember the reps have the airport police (scary guys with big guns!) on their side. that will soon shut them up
-take plenty of water (try and freeze it to keep it cool), crisps and sandwiches for the wait as the kiosk is way overpriced. if you do use the kiosk then ask your rep to get your food as they pay about 1/3 of price you do!!!
-take plenty of sunblock! u have your tan at this point so now just keep the sun off you completely to avoid burning!
-if you are a family with kids, leave dad outside with the luggage and mum and kids go inside for some shade and you can meet up again inside.
-the toilets are probably about the same standard as a pub toilets! not very nice but usable so make the most of a bad deal!!
-finally, and i stress this point. do not lose your temper with the reps as they are there to try and make everything run smoothly and anything they say or do is to try and make things run faster. without them there, things would not run as well, trust me!! if you do scream and shout then they will get offended......beleive it or not they are just human........ and they will not help you!
zante airport should not cause you to think any less of the island, or your holiday but you do need to prepare for it! i hope you all have a wonderful time if you are visiting in 2004 and if you are there between june 10th and 24th i might see you out there!

What do you clowns think a bar crawl is? For those that think they have been ripped off it is when your reps take you round to the best bars in Laganas and you are in a large group of people so it makes it a better atmosphere and the games make it more fun. For those that don't think that this is for them DON'T GO ON IT!!!!!! (and shut up)
