One time I was sweeping by Village Haus and there was this child who was being yelled at by her mother. This little girl was so red from crying. (Currently foods is giving out these lunch boxes with the kid's meals.) So, to shut the little girl up, the other proceded to hit her over her head with a lunch box. C'mon! You're kid's sad, why hurt them even more?

Someone said about parents loosing their kids and then yelling at them! I've seen that 3 or 4 times. The kid's lost, swept up in the crowd or what have you, and I get the poor scared kid back to their parents. And, wouldn't you know! they yell at their child to never do that again, shake them, or just flat out hit them. Pisses me off to no end. You're child is lost and freaked out beyond beliefe. You finally get them back, and you HIT THEM! Yeah! That's REALLY teaching them a lesson... :evil:

I have seen security escort a parent away when they come back to claim a seemingly abandoned child, so they do take it very seriously.

"I apologize ma'am. Disney imagineers didn't invent this until a few years back, and they used all of their skill to create what's called 'twisted fiber experiment 101', or the street name around here, ROPE. I'm sure they're working on a better version right now...."

The sad thing is, that these kids that get hit by their parents, or have parents that behave badly, pick it up and will one day probably act just like their parents.

Stupidity is heriditary...

There was a little boy climbing on the rock thingy right in the middle of the entrance to the area. I asked him (nicely of course) to get down, and his mother, who was standing there said to someone as i was walking away "wow, this is great! They even watch your kids for you!" No, you stupid cow, i was not your personal babysitter. I was just doing your job for you. :shock: I could not believe that i heard her say that....

Parents suck. Hahaha

A week ago, I was doing GC for Fantasmic. I was guarding the brick walls in front of the French Market as well as that platform that is backed up by a 6-foot wall. People of course love to CLIMB up this wall, even though they can walk 10 feet down to the end of the stairs to get on this same platform. SIGH.

Anyway, as usual, I was directing traffic, telling people not to sit on the walls and getting cussed out, and making sure people didn't climb up the fence of the platform. Soon enough, a Vietnamese family (a mom and two boys) proceed to climb up the fence. I stopped them and told them they could walk 10 more feet down the stairs to get up there, so the mom and one boy got down. The other boy (about 13 or so) stayed up on the wall and just stared at me as I told him to get down. For almost a minute, his mother and I kept telling him he needed to CLIMB DOWN. Finally, the mother screamed at him, "YOU GET DOWN RIGHT NOW, OR THIS LADY HERE IS GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!!!!"

The kid got down pretty damn fast, and I turned around to continue working. 30 seconds later, I turned back to the fence, and the SAME FAMILY is climbing RIGHT back up the fence. The same mother, who just spent her time getting herself and her kids down. When I bitchily confronted them, she smiled and laughed and said "Oh, the stairs were too far!!!!"

OH CHEESE WIZ! if i had a dollar for every family that either A: did what i told them, until my back was turned, or B: stood there and nodded their head pretending not to understand, and continued to fail to comply, i would be RICH, and that's in only three months of working here,

I REALLY think that people that come to our park were born on top of the stupid tree, raised in it, and when mama was done with them they got pushed off the top, and hit every stupid limb all the way down to the stupid dirt, which they probly sat there and stupidly ate!


Gimme some soft serve!

Haha, ya you guys should charge extra for annoying people. Then it would pay to get people like that.
