I visited the beautiful Island of Coronado today, 26 March 2011. I called for a taxi @ 5:49pm to take my friends and I back to the Ferry. The dispatcher (female) was hateful and rude. We were on the sidewalk right outside Hotel Del Coronado between the main entrance and Orange St. I told her we were walking from the entrance of the hotel down to Orange St and she told me to call back when I figured out where I was going to be. I really couldn't believe how sharp and hateful her words were to me. She was hateful during the entire conversation. I'm not accustomed to such rudeness. She left me speechless, so I handed the phone to my friend. The dispatcher told her that the hotel would call for a taxi.
I've been dealing with the recent loss of my Mother and thought that this getaway vacation would help clear my head a little. I'm very vulnerable right now and my feelings are easily hurt. She ruined the rest of my evening, the rest of my trip. I came back to the hotel and went to bed. I'm from NC and Cali advertises on t.v. quite often to "come to California." I promise you, I will NEVER, EVER visit this Island again!!!
