I hate when guests ask....

[SilverStyle]

at indy,

g is it really only 15 minutes?
me no, it's closer to three hours, i just felt like seeing how many people i could cram into the line.

when there was no line. so we posted at 15 because it's a long walk.

how long is the line?

how long does it take you to walk a quater mile?

huh?

it's about a quarter mile to the tour location, on average it takes about 15 minutes.



right this way please.

OMG that is so true. We get the same crap over at tower. While standing at greeter, I must have been asked 100 times if that was the real time.

[GMC]

why did the ride break?

Because everything worked properly. (The kid stood up, tower followed procedure, the e-stop worked, and the ride became "broken," not orated to the guest.)

[Stduck]

Hehe GMC, yeah that's usually how it works.

At Pooh
Why are you guys broken. "Cause Pooh spilled hunny we're cleaning it up"
Real reason: The crew I work with is stupid and can't disbatch vehicles on time or People refused to get out and we couldn't disbatch and we backed up and broke down.

Mansion
Reason: Facilities is lazy and said they'd fix Leotta 3 days ago, my Lead got fed up that it wasn't fixed and desided to go 101 so that it would get fixed.
What we told guests: Madam Leotta Lost her head. We're looking for it.

Yeah I love when guests ask why you're down. Look its broken, like a car. We called facilities and they are fixing it.

Then you get the geniuses that go to City Hall to complain that rides are broken.

Listen, Einstein, if YOU can build a theme park where nothing ever breaks, you give the Vatican a call and have your park declared a friggin' miracle.

I always love the "______ was the only reason we came and its not working! I want a refund!" (actually happened while I was working parades last Sunday and the steam trains were down for all of twenty mins.)
and yes I was just GC for the parades and the steam train is not my attraction but they would ask me why it wasnt working. (I told the guests that we were jealous out at the trams and came to stop all the attractions so people would have to ride the trams for fun!) :twisted:

:twisted: MY favorite thing was when I was working at Jungle Cruise (WDW) and these dumb asses ask me where the entrance to the Jungle Cruise is...

me "right here! :) "
guest: "No really, I'm not in the mood for this shit today, wheres f***in Jungle Cruise! :mad: "
me: OK, first go up these stairs, go straight ahead past pirates, you'll see Splash Mountain, take a right by Pecos Bill's Cafe, Head towards Liberty Square, when you get to Diamond Horshoe Revue turn right, go through the breezeway and you be in Adventureland, the Swiss Family treehouse is right in front of you and hang a right, you'll see a ramp to your left head down towards the building by the river, and you'll be at Jungle Cruise :D: "
guest: "thanks, was that so hard! :mad: "
Guest and party walking away:"....anoying know it all smart asses :mad: "
me: (INSIDE VOICE) YEah see you back here in twenty Jackass :D:

I always like to add "Look for the CM dressed just like me!" :twisted:

Got one of those a while back.
"I have been waiting here an hour! (he had we had been 101 the entire time I had been there which had been an hour) I demand that you go up find out when you will be working! I paid $53 dollars just to ride this ride!"
He was chewing out a cast member you should NEVER go off on. Needless to say the cast member kept their cool and eventually the man stormed off pissed. Best part? Less then 5 minutes later...we were 104.

[lady ulrike]

I love when that happens. Someone is very loudly and vocally complaining and then storms out right before the ride comes back up or lead gets there to comp them or something, it's great. :)

One of my favorites was when I was working parades on Main Street. The day before had been a fiasco, so I heard, so the lead was very adamant about keeping the walkways absolutely clear. We had a small meeting in one of the walkways to discuss our roles.

My job was to keep the east walkway clear.

For about five minutes after our little meeting, I started spieling about strollers before returning to the walkway, where a family of three was standing. The viewing area right next to them was virtually empty.

"Are you planning on joining us for the parade?"

"Yes," said the father.

"Ah, well, sir, this is a walkway only --"

"Well, you should have told us that a half an hour ago!"

"Um, I was standing in that very spot less than five minutes ago and you weren't anywhere around."

"Whatever!" And he stormed off.
