I was working Pooh Corner one evening, and an Australian mom and daughter (in a wheelchair, due to a broken leg) came in asking for a deep pile Pooh sweater, the kind that has the wool-like collar and cuffs that retails for around $60. She tried to get her NSA card, which clearly was written "Hooded sweatshirt" exchanged for this. Really? She got the NSA from the big show at DCA at the time, and had apparently went from STORE TO STORE all across both parks trying to scam her way into a much more expensive sweater. She said the cast member said she could use it for any sweater and she wanted THIS one. My lead argued she could use it for any HOODED sweatshirt, but she insisted the cast member said otherwise.madhatter04 wrote: girl: "uuuuggggh!! this is not fair!! my father is a member of Club 33 and it says that we can get extra stuff at restaurants and free things!!"
Me: "you get free admission to the parks and admission to the Club with your reservation, but you don't get free items around Disneyland because of it..."
girl: "fine!" *walks away*
So why did the cast member write down one thing and tell her another, even pointing out that he was writing different things? Also, it turned out that they'd made a stink over missing the show at DCA and it "ruined their day" - forget the fact that that one show is like 2% of all the attractions available during the day, and obviously they hadn't been on every single other attraction in one day, in a wheelchair no less, so they must have really worked that cast member before he gave up the NSA.
I guess we shoulda told her that because it was an NSA, and no receipt was being created, it would look like they hadn't paid, so we would Package Express it up to the main gate for her, taking down all the information and then sending up a hooded sweatshirt....
