LOL :D: You know I still love you. :)

LMFAO, that'd be an awesome twist to my daily routine if that did happen though.

ARGH this is EXACTLY the reason why nobody likes doing Glow carts! Stupid people that feel the need to steal! What's worse is that I've noticed a lot of Glow carts in DCA are in the direct center of the walkway--that's four sides that one cast member needs to cover! At least in DL they let us park against something--against a fence, a curb, a wall, etc.

I haven't done any glow carts (thank god), but I have used an apron before. It's such a pain in the ass. Some lady came up to me and began to pay, and she was from England. She kept going on and on, using all these bad words in front of her kid, about how our money doesn't have different colors. All the mean while I'm standing here in the sun, not caring about what she is saying, and just want to get away from her quickly as possible. Is it really that hard to READ the numbers on the bills?

Its really hard for a guest to do anything at any time that requires any IQ while @ a Disney Park.

And I'm not a fan of the glow cart in the center of a walkway either. But not all the glow carts are like that. Another hard one is the green mobile carts. It's a great idea, but I think it has its cons when it comes to theft too. All that product in one spot. Distract the one CM and *POOF* stolen glow. :(

Well, as far as I know, the only person they have depicted on British money is the Queen, so, when you consider it would be kind of difficult to tell one bill/note apart from the other.... Actually, I think most countries that have differant colors for differant denominations did it originally to assist the illiterate.

You could've pointed out that the one dollar bill has Washington on it, the five has Lincoln, the ten U.S. Grant, the twenty Andrew Jackson, I forget who's on the fifty, and Benjamin Franklin is on the hundred. As for the coins, Lincoln on the penny, Jefferson on the nickel, FDR on the dime, Washington on the quarter, I haven't seen a half dollar (do they still exist?) in decades; had Kennedy on it, and who's on the dollar coin depends on which one you have--either Susan B. Anthony or Sacajawea. It's not like they all look alike.

I think the Ten has Alexander Hamilton, but the fifty has U.S. Grant.

Interesting in theory Feline, but would describing all work for guests? NOT EVEN! They wouldn't listen, wouldn't comprehend, & waaay too much effort. ;)

Let's put it another way...

They pass HUGE arches that say "Walt Disney World".

Later, they pass HUGE signs saying "Magic Kingdom" on the road, but will repeatedly not understand that "Yes, you are in Disney World".

"No, Ma'am, Disneyland is in California...."

"Yes, Ma'am...Yes, Ma'am, you do need tickets to go to Universal...but we do not own them."

"Yes, Ma'am, Disney does not own Universal....YET".

"Yes, Ma'am ... Yes, Harry Potter is a very nice boy....No, he does not live at the Happiest Place on Earth...He lives at Hogwart's at UNIVERSAL"

[BTW, Happiest Place on Earth is UNIVERSAL when the genius cannot find her way there with her lil darling! ;) (OK OK I know only DL is Happiest Place on Earth -- but UNIVERSAL is thrilled not to meet clueless idiot I dealt with tonight. UGH)]
