LOL
At Peter Pan, we had a rule of not putting more than five people maximum in one "pirate ship" - usually two or three kids in front and two adults in the back. However, I once saw a family of six tiny people (I assumed they were from Korea or Japan) seating themselves in the FRONT ROW of such a tiny ship, and the grouper abcent-mindedly putting three people in the back row, too... ...so we had a pirate ship sailing off to the skies of London and Neverland with nine people on board. :twisted:

Whenever I'm loading at the movie ride and a party comes up to me and don't count their small children I just assume that they are seating them on their lap. I've crammed 10 people in one row that is designed to hold six because they don't count their children.

This all goes back to my theory of Company-issued paintball guns for all CMs.
Every time a guest does something stupid (I know...) they get shot once. Five shots, and they're ejected from the Park.
Not only does this identify problem guests to your fellow CMs, but it lets the guests know we don't tolerate repeated stupidity.
Down broken. Later back check.

The paintball guns would be good... hey, we can't by chance use our own paint balls on the guests, can we? I'd promise to only use the really frozen ones on the really big p@ssholes.
:twisted:
God must love stupid people. He made so many of them.

Awwww, you guys are mean. Where's your compassion?
We should simply stamp the guests on the forehead with a big stamp saying "I am stupid." That way, we can all know to take special time in dealing with that particular guest.
"Oh! You have a 'stupid stamp'! That entitles you to a special price on our merchandise! You get to pay 25% extra!!"

We
are being compassionate! The original proposal was to use shotguns.
I think the proposal goes too far giving them five shots. Even major leagers only get three strikes before they're out.

At one point in history, California nearly had an initiative on the ballot that would have made it a criminal offense to enter a "10 items or less" line at the grocery with eleven items. I thought that extreme. I wanted the total bill to have a "stupidity surcharge" of ten percent per item over ten, thus someone with 12 items would be charged 20% more. Might have worked, but the grocery chains balked at the need for armed guards at the checkouts.

I guess it's time to bring up the special reciept that my trainer and I printed out on one of the valet registers when I was getting trained to work in the tolls..
..we got a new machine, and you could imput extra lines of text. We made an extra section called the "idiot fee" or something to that effect. $30. I think they took it down off the bulletin board for not being disney-like. :D

Yeah, but then they'd be thrown out too quickly. I wanted to give more CMs a chance to tag them.
