The hardest question known to man:...How many in your Party?

we can generally tell who the spies are, and what they say isn't always nessicarily what happened, also it pretains more to if anyone got injured, or a human error, computer malfunction, anything along the lines of a situation in which there was/is potential for damage of any kind.

Today I was at Star Tours and I was loadin my cabin. Now the seating at Star Tours is eight people in rows 1,2,and 4. Three people in row 3, and nine people in row 5. At least once every 3 loads I had a guest ask me. "Are you sure that 7/8/9 people will fit in this row. I felt like sayin "Are you doubting that I know my attraction"

Then I had this one guest get into a fit when I tried to measure his child because she went on this before. Like I have never heard that one before. Well when I went to measure the child the guest looks at me and says "I paid your salary" I look at him and said "Then I need her to stand by the height sign because I'm going to earn it." I don't think he liked that response very much. Partly because his child didn't make the height requirement. So they decided to storm off and nobody in their party was going to go on the ride. At that point I'm thinking whatever and went back to loading my cabin.

Then even later on I had 2 loads in a row where nobody knew how many was in their party in all of the parties that came to me. So I did the only thing I could think of doing. I overloaded the cabin. :twisted: At least there was one party in that load that knew how many they had. Each time. Then the last load that I did at the cabin nobody could speak english. Oh well at least by that time we slowed down considerably and there were only 23 people in that cabin.

Good answer to that one! I usually say something stupid like, "that's funny, I didn't see your signature on my paycheck" or if I really feel like being a smartass I bust out a calculator and point out to them that less than one cent of what they paid to come in the park goes into my pocket.

I'd just cut to the chase & inform him that I'm not a salaried employee :P

I actually heard that line first in Farenheit 9/11. I laughed so much at that line that I decided that I was going to use it on guests when they start to say stuff like that.

i think the only guests that get mad when you want to check their kid, are the ones that know the kid ain't gunna make it, it really blew for some people tho, they somehow managed to get the kid all the way thru the line at indy w/o being checked, and being the good little trainee that i was i checked the kid, and put my sad face on, and had to tell them sorry, but they seemed pretty cool with it... I love the guests that put safety first, it makes my jorb alot eaiser

i like it when you get the "all together" answer....

BUT MY ALL TIME FAVORITE IS THIS ONE....

Me: Hi guys, how many in your group?
Guest: oh, all the way back to bob.
Me: uh....who's bob? do i know bob?
Guest: the guy with the hat......*pushs child past me and attempts to group herself*
Me: *puts arm in the way* Ma'am...just tell me the number of people in your group...you look smart..im pretty sure you can count...how many?
Guest: are you telling me i cant count?
Me: No, you're doing a fine job of that yourself.

I've been waiting to do this. Maybe one day. Maybe when I know the grouper. Maybe not.

Anyway, next time I'm in line for something (preferrably as a single rider) and the grouper asks me how many, I'm going to start counting everyone behind me...using my fingers and toes, too...and then turn around and say, "One."

It's gonna be awesome.

they'll put you on the vehicle that tends to time out, stop, loose it's undercarriage, explode, or something terrible like that, or they'll give you a Smilie Run, all alone, only they'll "accidentally" pull you're car off the track, to bad so sad
