Stupid Guest Tricks

Disney's security can be fairly selective sometimes. Or at least the supervisors can be. A number of times working in Rails we had somebody get pushed or just receive a terrible verbal bashing from a guest, only to have the sup end up apologizing to the guest and giving them a fruit basket or comps ...

A lot of the complaints don't go anywhere - especially if they're from people obviously out of their mind or trying to scam some free comps by complaining.
