Coming from a Custodian, there's a better way to get your Custodial problems handled. My experience with our dispatch (at WDW MK, anyway) has been that, unless a manager calls in something, they don't relay it to us.

Or, in non-Disney terms, true synergy is combinnig or utilizing two different skills, objects, people, ideas etc. in combination to produce a better result than either would produce alone. A skill that helps with another skill is a synergistic skill.

Actually, I think the 'leaving toilet paper anywhere but the toilet' mentality stems from the fact that some countries do not have a plumbing system like we do here in the US. Some South American countries (and some European ones, so I've heard) have septic systems that are unable to handle paper wa...

WDW is notorious among cast members for attracting crocodiles/alligators (I never could tell the difference) during the summer season. Last time I spotted one was in the boardwalk in Frontierland. A manager told me to stand there and somehow try to keep a crowd from gathering there (nobody EVER pays...

Oh I've had questions like those, too....people constantly stop me and ask me if I have any ice-cream, while pointing at the 8-liner. I usually pull out a liner, look in it, and said 'I just might, sir/ma'am, but I'm not sure that you'd want it'

Custodial hijinks

Custodial here at Magic Kingdom (WDW) brings some rather...interesting ocurances (even some I've not seen here before).. My favorite: A somewhat scruffy looking guest approaches somewhat hesitantly, and, in a lowerd voice, asks this Custodian "Dude, where can I score some drugs 'round here?&quo...
