Speaking of the wrong nametags...
My friend and I would trade nametags and make fun of one another at Kidcot to the kid's enjoyment. Technically, we'd be making fun of ourselves. Guests that weren't around would be like "Carrie, where is the exit" and the she would answer and not I. Ha.
We should carry an extra nametag in our pockets. When asked what our name is, take off our real nametag replace with fake. Point. Bwhaha. They'd be confused but would believe it. Stupid guests.

Two guys came up the exit at Tomorrowland Station and jumped onto the train while there were still guests loading from the entrance. I had to tell them about three times that they came the wrong way before they heard me. When they finally heard me telling them to go back out and come through the entrance, they just smiled as if I was joking. I smiled back and did a little hand-gesture to get off the train. They ran off of the train and to the entrance and made it to the load gate just in time to see the train start rolling forward. They asked me what my name was and I pointed at my nametag. They were struggling to read it in the dark so I just announced it to them. One of them said "Alright, I'm going to report you. You're so fired." Then the other chimed in, "Yeah! Say goodbye to your job!"
I thought it was funny.
And for the WDW CMs who may be a bit confused with this story, at DLR, our gates must be closed, all passengers must be seated, and the platform must be clear before we can send the train.

I just *love* it when they do that. Especially when if they'd listened to me the first time they would have made it onto the same train.McGintoy wrote:Two guys came up the exit at Tomorrowland Station and jumped onto the train while there were still guests loading from the entrance.

Huh? Like there's any *other* way to run a railroad?And for the WDW CMs who may be a bit confused with this story, at DLR, our gates must be closed, all passengers must be seated, and the platform must be clear before we can send the train.
I mean, other than the way some guests *demand* that we run it?

Re: ever been "fired" by a guest?
I had a pair of drama teens try to weasel their way through fastpass with a very obviously Photoshoped re-ad pass. I probably wouldn't have noticed except that they shoved their way past all of the FP people waiting and that alone was a major red flag.
I told them to go back to the end and wait their turn and one of them said that City Hall told them they could. "Then City Hall is wrong" I said. "You need
to go back to the beginning of this line."
Then they start this "we're going to tell them how awful you were to us!"
routine. I say "I think you should." Be sure to take this pass with you and ask why the pass has a white border around it and why the phone extension written on it is not a City Hall extension!"
Blew them out of the water. :twisted:
Of course I had tower call around to other attractions and forwarn them
about these two.

If you ever stop and ask yourself: "How do they dress themselves?"

Some locals will try just about anything to avoid waiting in a queue.

And if you think about it, the time they took to photoshop it was probably longer than the time they would have had to wait in the queue anyways.Natural Selection Fan wrote:Some locals will try just about anything to avoid waiting in a queue.
