Dang...I'm a SG and I'm not even there yet

Post by Marilou » Wed May 02, 2007 9:18 am

Jeeze....mom emails me the new policy change re: smoking at the resorts. We both read it too quick and thought there would be no smoking allowed anywhere on the property. So after a useless hr of panic we find out there will be smoking areas designated outside just like at the parks. Guess we should slow down and READ the entire statement correctly.
ok, hopefully that will be my only (or at least the worst) SGT.

ps...we always abide by the smoking rules in the parks, we won't be SG in that regard.

People don't like to read because it is so long and boring, so they just skim the material missing important tidbits.

You mean the parts that are in bold red letters and begin with WARNING! ?? Like the 17 (?) WARNING signs at Mission: Space ?

But then it's not near as much fun for them to wait in a 30 min line only to get up the to ride and see that they can't ride or that it's too extreme. Don't you know that SG like to waste precious time in line for a ride they can't/ wont ride. LOL

As an Operations Cast Member, I agree with this statement. It's even worse when they reach the ride and don't understand what "How many?" means, which I think is irresponsible and moronic on their part.

SG: We waited in line for X minutes
CM: I'm sorry sir/maam, but your child is too short to ride the ride and I'll be in big trouble if I allowed him/her to ride.

Same BS all the time. Luckily I'm seasonal so I only have to deal with this whenever I decide to pick up a shift on the HUB. Basically, if SGs don't like the parks' rules, tough! Nobody told them to come to Disney World. They chose to be there. CMs do their best to accomodate them and if their expectations are not met because of their conceited wants and needs and in some cases, their ineptitude with the English language, go to Guest Relations, they're the ones getting paid to listen to guests complain and make fools of themselves even more. Or make it easier on themselves and don't come at all or learn some darn English words (I am not going to play the whole "I don't speak English" game anymore because it's a lie most of the time). Don't we CMs have enough to deal with at work?

LOL. I forget where it was I read someone hated the stupid replies they would get to that question.

Like

CM: How Many?
SG: All of us
CM: *Slap*

Or my favorite version:

CM: How many?
SG: All of us
CM: Sir/Ma'am, we have roughly 2000 people in line right now, I can fit 30 on a vehicle. How many would you like to sit with?

Actual situations...

CM: How many?
SG: No entiendo
CM: (firmer) How many?
SG2 (her child I guess): Four
CM: Thank you, Row 4. Jesus Christ!

CM: How many of you?
SG: (big eyes) hmm?
CM: How many of you?
SG: (big eyes) hmm?
CM: Just two of you
SG: Yes, two of us
CM: Thank you, go to row 3. Gosh, that's all I wanted to know
SG2: Sorry
CM: (thinking to self) Moron!

CM: How many of you?
SG: No entiendo
CM: (thinking to self) Damn It, not again! (out loud and louder) How many of you?
CM2: There's like six of them
SG: Send them to another sim, I'm not taking them
CM2: Why? You have room
SG: Just do it, I'm through. (closes gate and thinks to himself) Ugh! Don't lie to me.
CM2 sends the party of supposedly six to another simulator

I respect all religious backgrounds just to let you all know. I just find myself saying "Jesus Christ" whenever situations like this arise cause I feel he's putting me to the test. God works in mysterious and funny ways sometimes.

Thanks for clarifying. I thought you were saying He was next in line. :D: I'm pretty sure He would give a prompt, correct, and polite answer, though!
