Reasons to hate workin at____________.

Post by Teddykeiko86 » Sat Mar 07, 2009 11:47 pm

Since I don't work here anymore I can say this:

Reasons to hate working at Shrek 4D

~ "Is this a ride or a show?"
~ Wheelchairs w/o a GAP
~ 'Disabled' parties of 18
~ Sunflower seeds on the floor
~ Camcorders in Preshow and theatre
~The 10-2 door in preshow
~ The allen bradley touch screen that has a mind of its own
~ Turnstile on crowed days
~ guests reseting the counter at turnstile (by slamming the side of the far left turnstile and accidently hitting the reset)
~ Working Usher [ usher is the theatre possition, and USH doesn't let attendents sit during the show, unlike Disney]
~Kids cranking the turnstile repetetively
~ Trying on the 3D glasses, then placing them back with the other clean ones
~ Tranfering carts to T2 in late afternoon when the sun is blinding your view of pederstrians
~ Trash in the glasses collection bin
~ Code 6's left to bake in the sun (code V)
~ hidden code 6 in preshow
~ Lost cell phones that are on silent
~ Soaking wet people sneaking in from blastzone
~ Guests entering from the side of the queue with the wheelchair.
~ CMs with poor grammar and vocabuary yakking on the mic.
~ Clucky's master
~ Disapearing leads when you have a 10-65
~ Washing 3D glasses till ten at night. When the park closed at 6 and golf carts are speeding through the pitch black park.

LOL... OMG yes... you remember....
Ahh.... and isn't it too dark in the park after night. I don't remember any work lights, albeit not PITCH black, it was too dark to walk safely w/o tripping over a power hose.

Other Stupid Turnstile Tricks:

Parents who laugh when their small child gets hit in the back of the head with the turnstile and say "She's been doing that all day!'

Guests who want to know "What number am I?" on the turnstile counter.

Guests who want you to watch their food, or leave their food at the turnstile, and never come back for it.

Guests who push the turnstile bar slightly backward so the friend behind them can't get in.


"Excuse me, are those ducks real?"
"Yes, sir, but the water is fake."

I eed a nap then will post something about my DLR trip.

Taking pictures is a nightmare at times. Here are some photopass CM things I saw.
Peopel who ask the price then walk off grumbling.
People who run through your shot.
The baby who refuses to look anywhere near the camera.

Or find it's way into your stomach, then lie and say it was the flies? Or would that be wrong?
