Don't Do My Work!

Post by TiggerHappy » Mon Jun 30, 2014 11:06 pm

:pissed:

A Guest came up to me to tell me that a Code V had occurred on the Tomorrowland Terrace dance floor. I thanked her and went to get the Code V stuff to clean up the mess. I come back with the stuff to not see any vomit at all. It was almost time for the last Jedi show of the day so a Jedi CM helped me look for the vomit.

Cue the same Guest who comes up to us and tells us where the Code V is. Jedi CM and I walk over to not see any vomit at all. We were confused until the Guest up and says:

"Oh, we wiped it up so the kids don't sit on it."

:oweye:

So basically what should've been a small mess (since they said a child vomited) ended up being a bigger one because the Guest basically smeared the vomit all over a huge section of the dance floor and since the dance floor is speckled, I can't see any vomit residue and therefore don't know where to spray the virus-cide. Fan-f**king-tastic!

Lady, if you didn't want kids to sit on the barf, then LEAVE THE FRICKIN' BARF so they can actually SEE it and avoid it! :banghead: Thanks for making my job harder than it had to be!

Although I can, to an extent understand your frustration, this person had nothing but good intentions. The child got sick, as a parent they cleaned up after them, and all you had to do is perhaps a wider swath with the chemicals but you didn't have to get your nose into the vomit.

It is no damn wonder that people are more inclined lately to just let someone else clean up their problems. What you should be doing is thanking the Lady for following up on her responsibilities. Instead you are upset with her. Perhaps a little lesson in appreciation is called for. It was a tradeoff for you. Having to clean (easily) a wider spot in exchange for not having to deal with the actual vomit. She did the right thing. She cleaned it up and then informed you that it had happened so you could take the remaining steps to sanitize the area. I fail to see the problem.

Maybe they had wipes on them and cleaned up the area with that as well. I know last time I had to clean up puke from one of my kids, I managed to keep it contained to a very small area, didn't spread it beyond the landing zone, and had wipes to follow up with so the germs would not stick around.

I understand that she (and whom I presume was her husband) were trying to help, but the fact remained that they had completely forgotten where the vomit was. Like I had said, I wasn't sure if I had even sanitized the area properly because they weren't sure where the vomit was anymore since they wiped it up with napkins and piled them all up into a corner. Yes, they didn't even bother to throw the stuff away, the vomit was still there! So I'm pretty sure they didn't use any wipes.

Sure, it may have been easy for me to just guess where the vomit might've been, but that doesn't make me feel better knowing there could be spots that are still infected. So in the end, kids were still probably sitting on vomit and had no idea while they're putting their hands everywhere. I don't mind dealing with the actual vomit; at the very least I could sleep easy knowing I got it ALL sanitized instead of some.

OK, that is a little different than your original post. You made it sound as if they had cleaned it all up an even told you where it was. If your last post is the correct account of what happened then I agree that they didn't help all that much.

Lights that picked up the traces of protein spills/Signal V would show it everywhere. You probably don't EVER want to do that test.
