"I Didnt Run Half Way Across the Park For This!"

[hhsrat]

I had a similar incident on the Monorails one night. We have certain cars that are reserved for people with wheelchairs. This doesn't mean empty stroller that you are too lazy to move or fold, The sign in the car plainly states Wheel chairs.

Good for you for sticking on this one. I've got friends that travel in wheelchairs, and I've seen more than one monorail operator bend and let the guests leave their strollers in the wheelchair spaces, or worse, make the w/c guests wait for the next train.

Perhaps it would help if they were banned from the park for a period of time, had thier ticket revoked if they were an AP.

Seriously, when security has to escort someone out, are there any consequences beyond the loss of whatever was left of the day?

I've been told that if your offense is severe enough to be escorted from the park, then you're generally banned from the property... which means if you're staying in a Disney hotel, your room will be packed and bags left just off-property. If you return, you can be arrested for trespassing.

So the offender's bags will be:

a) on the bridge on Epcot Center Drive when it crosses I-192 ?
b) on the corner of 535, across from Crossroads ?
c) at the end of Sherberth Road, near I-192 ?
d) where World Drive crosses I-192 ?
e) where Osceola Parkway crosses I-4?

At sierra sidewinder we would put 2 trashcans and a chain at the entrance and guaranteed every night at closing, some idiot would jump over the trashcans or ask "is it closed"?

Ghostrider was worse because the entrance is so far from the dock.

Actually the answer is
F. Far East as in your bags will be shipped to your last known residence via ground delivery and it first go to some country like Thailand. Oh and sometimes our Cast Members lose things like last week one lost limburger cheese and their favourite wind-up clock in the bags of a disruptive guest. BOOM, gigglesnort, oops the TSA thought there was a stink bomb in the luggage.

Limburger cheese: $7.50
Wind-up clock $5.00
The look on the face of the SG when TSA *detains* them, strip searches them and puts them on the no fly list!: PRICELESS!

What sorts of things would get a guest kicked out of the Park and banned? I am just curious as it seems that lots of Ssssssss Geeeeeees get away with lots of stupid shit. The spitting story on another thread would seem to me to one one that SHOULD have gotten the guests thrown off property and banned for at least some time.

[Theme Park Where]

I had a guest throw a beer can off a spinning ride while I was working at Six Flags, which got him thrown out of the park.

Had another throw a chair out the front window of the Disney hotel where I was working overnights. He was banned from Disney property. Funny thing about that one, he was mad because his wife had left her purse on the Disney bus. They were on the last bus of the night, and since the purse didn't end up at dispatch, of course the bus driver must have stollen it. He was actually mad at his wife, though, for losing the purse in the first place. He swore at us for not finding it, returned to apologize, paced the lobby for a second, picked up a chair, and flung it through the window. He then immediately realized what he had done and was still apologizing as they hauled him off in handcuffs. I think he WANTED to be thrown out at that point he felt so bad about losing his temper. Hope he got anger management classes.

At Six Flags, we had a pretty open security policy. We were right outside Chicago, and concerned about gangs. ANY bad behavior and the employees were encouraged to call security, who pretty much were going to throw the person out if they got called. WE kicked people out for not following safety procedures, line jumping, back talking the employees, or being too roudy. I loved that job!

I think throwing a chair through a window would let you jump to the head of the SG list!! Over something that he had no control over?? I bet THATS a happy family life!!

[Big Wallaby]

Yikes. I don't understand getting mad enough to do that. When I was a teen I used to, and then I grew out of it.

So many things SG's do that one should grow out of before they reach about 21 or so...

Many of them don't. I deal with a different kind of SG in my work, but the actions and reactions remain the same. A sense of entitlement, a sense that everyone else's point of view is not important, and a sense that if someone sees or says something differently, they are wrong. those attitude coupled with having never been told they are wrong, because it's not "PC" to correct always leads to trouble.

The CM's are getting the brunt of this, while other professions can, and do, put it back onto the SG.

And you hit the nail on the head about being a teen. I actually had someone tell me they thought it was okay to do something, as "THEY HAD NEVER BEEN TOLD IT WAS WRONG" since they were a teenager. (The person was in her mid thirtys)

Thats how you get a moron throwing a chair through the window, he was having a tantrum.

All the CM's should get a raise when they have to deal with them.
