How DOES that spiel go?

Post by GRUMPY PIRATE » Mon Sep 29, 2008 1:29 pm

Having returned from eight wonderful days at WDW, I can tell you that the SG sighting were few and far between! (although I will post them in the proper area!) Sadly, we did see a few SCM's, and in keeping with the spirit of SGT, I will not name them or the date/time of sighting!

The one that even DW commented on was this:

Having finished up an activity that put us near the front of Epcot, we decided to go on Spaceship earth, mainly because as far as we could see, it was walk on! (No line)

as we walked up to load, we heard:

CM1: so how did you get your schedule changed?

CM2: well I got on the computer and changed my day off to right before a leave day...TWO TO A CAR..and all you have to do is get it changed...TWO TO A CAR...to when you want off.

CM1: how do you do that?...IF YOU SPEAK ENGLISH, PUSH ENGLISH ON THE SCREEN..I mean, I don't know how to change that on the system, it never works for me.

DW: what the heck are they talking about (as we enter the car and set down)

GP: sounds like they are trying to figure out their work schedule.

CM1: have a nice trip!

GP: yes, we will, you have a nice day too, *****! (CM name omitted) Hope you work out the leave thing!

(I took the habit of thanking the CM's for wishing me a happy birthday and/or anniversary, by thanking them by their name on the nametag)

I once put in a complaint at KBF about someone clowning with the safety spiel on Boomerang. I'm pretty sure the manager just wrote us off as "they're just Disney employees trying to act like their s*** doesn't stink."

The only time Knott's management does anything about complaints is if it's guest versus employee. The employee always loses, unless they have superior evidence/reasoning skills. Or if a guest hurts you, they will make like they're your best buddy because they're scared you'll sue them. When that stupid guest and her goons jumped me at the train at closing when I worked there, I should've taken my sister up on her offer to let her boss, an attorney, handle them. If I ever run into that biotch again, she's toast!

I thought the three Dee's were only over at MuppetVision? Dorthy, Dina and Max. :-)

(Boy, I can tell I've seen that pre-show one time too many).

its a fun day when certain cast members at work screw up when doing something completely freakin easy and start making the rest of us look awesome in the eyes of management.
