Stupid Guest Tricks

Welcome back, Randy! That was a great act of creating Magic. I can just imagine the joy of those two little girls getting the pins! Wow! Excellent! We are expecting some great tales from your trip when you are tanned, rested and ready...

Yep, I went out looking, but didn't see you. I didn't realize I had talked to any of your neighbors, but then I talked to people on the bus, so must have been one of them.

I'll catch ya one of these days!

Thia happened to me a few years ago!! :D:

Have you ever had one of thoughts days that just make you do a complete 360. Well a few weeks ago, I was at point on, I think level 3. Well, we will fairly consistently have people who will fully ignore you or feel like they are the only people who are privileged, and should get the closest spot. Nevertheless, I digress. This man in his SUV swerves around me after I had just told him that the south side of the structure was closed due to the fact that we had just finished Re-Parking it. It annoyed me but that is nothing new I hollered at him to at lest slow down. About 15-20 min pass by and this men and little boy walk up to me. The little boy was no older than 5. He was cute as a button. The father looks me strait in the eye and says, “I’m sorry I sped around you. My son reminded me that it was wrong and that I should fallow the rules.” His son reminded him! This little boy, who is not yet old enough to go to elementary school, corrected his father. Wow! I was dumbfounded! In my 5+ years at DLR, I have never had that happen. I said “thank you.” With this stupid confused, look on my face. LOL I just kept looking back and forth from dad to son. The father had taken the time to walk all the way from the front to the back of the structure just to set a good example for his son. I was very impressed with the gesture.
It made my day but threw me for a big loop. :bugeyes:

Wow - great story! See, there's hope for some of those SGs after all. Leave it to the little children to set them straight.

Hopefully the kid will stay that way and not be corrupted the his parents or the system.

Today at work, I had this SG cheer family. Clueless mom and Deer caught in the head lights daughter. The park invested in some nice napkin dispencers like Knott's has. I watched the mom take out 20 napkids and grabbed a few in the container and left the others scattered out infront of the guests in back of her. I don't get this and a said, we don't do that here and requested her to take them with her because the guests did not want anything to do with the napkins on the counter. Mom through a hissy fit while through out the day her daughter tried knocking my cart from side to side. My lead did tell the mom and daughter to knock it off or the team that she belonged to would be notified. Security was informed and followed the SG family for a while. I did not have any more problems with them either. :mad:

If you were to grab the napkins and use them, but she decided to be rude and not use them. She did buy a turkey leg, chimi and a few drinks and 2 napkins are going to clean your messy hands up? Let me see that! 20 napkins went to waiste and no one wanted to pick up the napkins that were scattered in front of them. We are here to sell you food, not to clean up after you lazy messy folks. If there was only a way to get your clutter to stick to your clothes. Yes, then the parks would look much nicer and the CM's would be happier.

I worked at DLR as a College Program cast member in ODV and the kids were the ones who I loved! They'd always make my day just by wearing their little dresses and pirate hats.

I was working IC 5 (the ice cream cart by small world mall) and there was a little girl in a Snow White costume walking by to ride small world. I called out to her saying Hi, Snow White! She was about 4 or 5 yrs old and she stopped and looked at me, smiled and ran over to me and gave me a big hug and walked back to her mom.

That totally made my day!!

I had another little girl who was a pin trader and wanted to look at my lanyard. She didn't have any pins she wanted to trade for an Ariel pin I had, so just as she was about to walk away, I took it off my lanyard and handed it to her. Her eyes lit up and she gave me a huge hug, said thank you and proudly pinned it on her lanyard!

I don't work at DLR anymore, but I'll be in Orlando in May and I can't wait to make those magic moments and see the little excited kids!! :)

Kids are often the best at that stuff.

Anyway, I notice that this is your first post so allow me to offer you a warm* welcome to SGT. I am sure the Marsupial Welcoming Committee will be along some time in the day to make it official.

*warm in this case really means extremely hot**
**extremely hot means that you are now on fire
