You have to love those guests. You can't help but laugh.felinefan wrote:Yeah, isn't it funny how a guest can claim one minute not to speak English, and the minute something doesn't go their way, all of a sudden they can speak English real good?
That used to drive me bananas when I worked attractions. It was always regarding Fastpass or Wheelchair entrances. I love the large groups that come up to you with one fastpass for 20, the fastpass is in 2 hours, or they tried to hop from turnstile to turnstile and it is invalid. Now, some of them truly do not speak english and do not understand. That's when I pull out the handy-dandy language sheet and show them the appropriate bullet point. For people who really don't speak english, that shuts them up. It's the ones who you can hear speaking perfect english not two second before and think they can get into the fastpass with their invalid passes. The other issue I had was one day this guy who didn't speak very good english came to me with a use normal wheelchair entrance card. This was at a new ride, so the standby was the regular wheelchair entrance. He then proceeded to argue with me after I politely pointed him to the proper entrance. As he tried to badger me into eltting him use the Fastpass entrance, several other guests using wheelchairs went into the standby entrance no problem. I'm sorry, but renting a wheelchair for a day does not entitle you to get on a ride without waiting. I hate how people think that it makes them more special than everybody else, especially when people who truly are dependent on them for mobility have no problem waiting in line.felinefan wrote:Yeah, isn't it funny how a guest can claim one minute not to speak English, and the minute something doesn't go their way, all of a sudden they can speak English real good?
yeah, my folks usually rent wheelchairs or scooters, we always wait in standby anyway so thats never a problem, and actually i feel bad at like epcot on SSE or somewhere they need to stop the ride for us. in my own opinion, standing in lines and being around ppl who are talking, well its all part of it. we usualy stand around and talk or watch people. whatever happened to family bonding!? we NEVER use fastpass and we get everything done we want to, no problem. eh maybe its because im a people watcher, or maybe its because there was no fastpass when i was young, so i really just ignore it. i think everything would be less clogged and move faster without it anyway. i mean, you are on vacation, whats the rush? isnt the point of vacation to get a break and have fun? i rush around at work all day, im in no hurry at the parks.EeyoresButterfly wrote:That used to drive me bananas when I worked attractions.
