Pet Peeves

Post by Krytoes17 » Mon Oct 11, 2004 11:21 am

I hate when Annual Passholders come up to you and aknowledge their own stupidity and lame lives by saying the following, and I quote, "Hey, you must be new here, I haven't seen you here before. By the way, your bar code on your shirt is showing." Now I wouldn't say this if I hadn't heard this comment a million times. The best part of all this is that now I don't have to deal with them as special assistance any more. City hall cut them all off. Best of all, Matterhorn will have a special assistance wheelchair line that they have to wait completely through. ha ha ha. Revenge is sweet.

Oh oh oh! How about pet peeves from other cast members? I was at Load 2 last night closing it. It's about 12:00am. We get no call saying this is the last load. We load the guests and of course since we didn't know it was the last group didn't note the last buggy number. About a minute later the lead calls and says that was the last group. I about strangled the ER cast member (WHO KNEW BETTER!!!!!)

GMC next time we get a chance we need to exchange band stories. And it was good seeing you on the Train last night.

CM Pet Peeves

Post by Krytoes17 » Mon Oct 11, 2004 12:19 pm

I hate when we come up from a downtime and we have a weak grouper at Matterhorn. If you aren't on top of you game, then it sucks to be the unloader. You wait and wait and wait for them to stack the station, but in the case of many CM's who shouldn't be at Matterhorn, they decide to talk to the guests instead of group them. Hey, I'm all for show and courtesy, but HELP ME OUT and SHUT UP!!!

I have a few pet peevs, first when I'm closing gangster the loader not calling up and letting us know when the last show has left the dock. When we are closing gangster every minute helps with cleaning the pistols and then walking them down to security. Espically since Fantasmic is getting out when we are walking the guns.

I had just finished cleaning the restroom up in the vineyard room and a male older guest, obviously an APer, came up to me and told me "my wife and I eat here every week (wow they must be rich that'd cost like 5K a year) and she is about to go to the bathroom and first thing she does in there is tug on the handle [of the custodial closet, a unisex one like the rest at dca] and if she finds a man in there she will got crazy, you know how women are about their privacy, so could you go make sure that door is locked". Wow i was thinking to myself "wtf is up with his wife and why would she keep trying to open the custodial closet door, the restroom is right there to her left" while I tell the guest I will check. Sure enough it is locked. Also, why would his wife freak out if she saw a guy in there, the door to the custodial closet is Not near the sinks or toilets.

sweet 2 outta four... i do recite speils, and whenever there is a space to cram as many people into, in as little time as possible, i'm always the first to bust my chops filling it up.

as for slow dispatch, and asking if people work here, i avoid. i hate slow dispatch too, i mean what am i supposed to do while everyone is sitting there, doing nothing, and looking at me like wtf, do something.


Gimme some soft serve!

I once had a guest attempt my spiel on the Movie Ride. Ha, they will never be able to figure out that 50 page speil. We have some options mixed in and theroretically it's suppoed to be slighly diffrent with every tourguide.
