Re: No, Sorry, I Do NOT Work Here!
This reminds me of a time I visited a local amusement park with a couple of friends. Now, at the time, I used to wear a Lion King vest I had gotten at Disneyland when I went out with friends. Lovely piece of clothing, with lots of pockets (one I didn't even discover until a year after I bought it), but I digress. Anyway, even though this park was most definitely not a Disney property (no where near any Disney parks and at the time actually owned by another studio), I kept having folks come up to me asking questions. It got so that whenever I hear excuse me, I would immediately say, "Sorry, I don't work here"! Fortunately, I didn't have anyone insist I must actually be an employee and have to help them.

Re: No, Sorry, I Do NOT Work Here!
Yeah, in the past few years, i have indeed gotten my fair share of "can you help me find this" or "Do you work here?" Wearing a costume or not. Now-a-days since i have been working in the park in tech blacks, I can see why people would be confused.

One thing you got to know: the guests have a sixth sense about these things. They seem to know what you are doing and where you're going. They lock onto your radar and go after you, :)

Re: No, Sorry, I Do NOT Work Here!
I've come to believe that it's even more fundamental than that -- think basic physical laws, like a negatives being attracted to a positive, or nature abhorring a vacuum. The average SG is so completely clueless about the world around them that their void of activity between the ears is naturally drawn to anyone with active brain cells. Thus SG's naturally gravitate (without thought, of course) to off-duty CM's and many of us non-CM's who also know what's going on.DLRFantasmic!Dan wrote:One thing you got to know: the guests have a sixth sense about these things.

The one exception: some of the SG's seem to be thrown by on-duty CM's, since the CM's nametag and colorful costume don't immediately trigger a "hey, they work here" response in the SG's brain. (Such as it is.)

Re: No, Sorry, I Do NOT Work Here!
back when I was a CM, I had guests come up to me with a blank stare on their face, they would look at me, then look at my name tage, look at me again, then back at my name tag, look at me, then at my name tag, and STILL ask, "Excuse me, do you work here?" Aaaaaaaaarrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! :twisted:BRWombat wrote:The one exception: some of the SG's seem to be thrown by on-duty CM's, since the CM's nametag and colorful costume don't immediately trigger a "hey, they work here" response in the SG's brain.

Re: No, Sorry, I Do NOT Work Here!
Does anybody remember those books put out by MAD Magazine, "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions"? Can't remember the guy who wrote them, but there was one showing a sweaty, exhausted bellhop carrying some heavy luggage, walking through a hotel foyer, when he's approached by a little old lady who asks him, "Young man, do you work here?" and the snappy answers include, "No, they pay me to hang around like this until I drop dead from inactivity." Or something like that. There were a couple others, plus a space for you to write your own. Ever wish there was a Disney version? Hey, there's an idea for a thread--what you wish you could get away with saying, versus what you'd better say. They had those, too. Plus, some backfires--or as they would be called today, fails.
