I never observed any such behavior when I walked in '01, and during my
'Hospitalero' stint last year the only instance was a group of
Norwegians who sent a young girl 'scout' on ahead to reserve places at
the Refugio.  The only arrogant behavior was from the organized tour
groups who came thru in motor coaches and 'demanded' to tour the Refugio
when pilgrims were showering, napping, etc.

Hate to generalize, but the only obnoxious people I encountered on the
Camino were French.  On the other hand there were in the minority.
There were far more delightful French people.  I guess there is a
cultural thing with some of the French who cannot restrain their
arrogance.
