Re: Oh bother! I ruined *another* vacation.
Monday a well dressed, rather pretty guest began opening boxes of Vmations. Couldn't believe my eyes as I wasn't far from her. I asked her not plz not to open. She looked at me, took another box & while opening said; "Why not? I am black. I'm on vacation. I can do anything I want to!" Wasn't worth my effort nor an argument - & no, I'm not racist. She knew I had been watching so my walking away was best at the time.

Some guests are just annoying, especially when they play the race card.Main Streeter wrote:Monday a well dressed, rather pretty guest began opening boxes of Vmations.

I don't miss Vinylmations one bit, I don't understand the craze and think way to many shops are being taken over by them.
Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Re: Oh bother! I ruined *another* vacation.
People opening up the mystery packages is why they came up with new sealed packages on the pins- I don't really get the vinylmations, either, although I do like the idea of the blank ones you could paint with the pattern of your choice- cost too much tho, IMHO. Cheaper and more creative to make your own clay sculpture and paint it ;)Shorty82 wrote:I don't miss Vinylmations one bit, I don't understand the craze and think way to many shops are being taken over by them.

Re: Oh bother! I ruined *another* vacation.
A few weeks ago I was a firsthand witness to a fistfight that broke out in my line. I was grouping guests into the Pirates boats when what turned out to be a father and (step?)son got into a heated shouting/physical match. My load cast member immediately called a coordinator down and the son took off down the line back to the entrance of the ride and out. Our team came running, and we escorted the family out of the attraction. We eventually found the son and I of course was a bit shaken up by this. After getting out of that position, the rotation took me to stroller parking. As I was hurridedly moving strollers around to accomodate more for parking, a douchebag guest says this:
SG: "When you move the strollers around, can you be more careful as to not drop people's stuff? You just dropped my $18 spray fan."
Me: "I'm sorry."
SG (More Irritated): "Did you acknowledge what I just said?"
Me (Angrily Turning to him): "I SAID I WAS SORRY." (And walked away)
First of all, I didn't see you fan fall out of the stroller. Here's how I wish the conversation could have played out.
SG: "When you move the strollers around, can you be more careful as to not drop people's stuff? You just dropped my $18 fan."
Me: "I'm sorry."
SG (More Irritated): "Did you acknowledge what I just said?"
Me: "Sir, I just witnessed a pretty nasty fistfight inside my attraction just now. I'm a bit shaken up and at this very moment, the least of my worries is your overpriced squeeze fan that will probably break in a few days anyways."
(And he, stunned, shuts up and walks away)

Usually with a fist fight in the park, CM's are not allowed to get i any contact with the SG. CM is to contact security and let them handle it.

Re: Oh bother! I ruined *another* vacation.
The weekend before Xmas my friend and I decided to take her 2 sons to DL. We had never been for Xmas and were really excited. She was driving my car and less than 45 mins from home we got pulled over for speeding. The cop was not sympathetic to our tale so she got a ticket. I told her that if she didn't pay the ticket and I was held responsible for it (since it was my car) then I could sue her and have our case heard by Judge Judy. Afterwards we could go to DL to celebrate, it didn't matter which of us won. :D:
The ticket did NOT ruin the trip. It was the best Xmas I had in a long time.

Re: Oh bother! I ruined *another* vacation.
A few nights ago I was watching America's Favorite Videos. Yup, I saw this clip of MK and SG did not pay any attention. The attractions CM asked for everyone to wait until the train made a full stop before getting off the ride. SG ignores the warning and face slams into a trash can. There is the SG who can hear. :twisted:
