So today i was confronted by an angry guest who got very angry for a very unimportant reason. (he lost one of the games and i happened to be walking past) He blows up in my face about how they had stolen his money kept getting peeved. He was very aggressive and then he stormed off in the direction of a manager. But thats not why this guest was unique....
His little 8 year old daughter, the whole time this man was ranting, kept saying "its not a lot of money" "dont get so angry"
and after he left for the manager, she apologized to me.
moral of the story: THERE IS HOPE FOR A LESS STUPID TOMORROW!

He'd really be fun to watch in Vegas.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Re: sometimes the apple falls VERY far from the tree...
you know, i was JUST about to start a thread like this, only a lot more self-centered :p: . I was at the studios with my mom and cousin who is in town from the north. My mom has to be one of the ultimate SGs, despite her son being a CM. I had to appoligize to many CMs today for her stupidity and well..utter rudeness towards CMs. She knows some of the horror stories (as her freakin SON is a CM) and really I told her I'm not going to the parks with her anymore until she learns how to treat us. So yes, the apple DOES fall far from the tree sometimes. On occasion, the tree chucks the apple past the 200 yard line.

I think this is so sad that this little girl has to deal with this. Her father might be suffering from manic depression or be bipolar. I hate to think of what she faces at home.tacoboy wrote: His little 8 year old daughter, the whole time this man was ranting, kept saying "its not a lot of money" "dont get so angry"

He should have filed a claim with Lost and Found. Here's what I imagine the conversation would be like:tacoboy wrote:So today i was confronted by an angry guest who got very angry for a very unimportant reason.

CM: "OK, what did you lose?"
Guest: "My money."
CM: "What did it look like?"
Guest: "It was green."
