The Ugly side of the US Open - what fans should avoid

The UGLY: Villains and Jokers working at the US Open

The Ugly-est of Ugly at US Open
Read the Good and the Bad.

This was a review from US Open 2016. Since then, they have "cleaned house" on staffing, security, and management to make it more fan-friendly. Fan Week has been upgraded for better access. The Food Village staffing has improved since 2022.

WALL OF SHAME

Classless Fans of Tennis / Sports
Here's a funny one fan who come into the US Open with complete disregard for his fellow fans. Check out Mr. Clueless Fan with the flip-flops. Can you name what's wrong with this picture?

Please respect the players. Have consideration for other fans around you.



Have superiors and QA checks at facilities
If you run the bathrooms, please do not be sitting in there, watching videos on your cell phone while charging, and just pretending to stand in the doorway with a trashcan to try to block people from entering.

Too many redundant jobs
When I'm ordering food, do you need 3 cashiers standing around who cannot figure out how to turn on one cash register?
