Stupid Guest Tricks

Huh? :? Ummmmm...the city of Huntington Beach made everyone register their bicycles with the city at one time (cheap - like $1.00)...so sue me, if I had to follow the rules to ride my bike to school...the cops there were even stinkers about handing out traffic tickets. While in Jr. High, I got one for riding my bike on the wrong side of the road - actually the sidewalk - and even though I politely explained to the officer that I was trying to avoid getting run over (it was a busy main thouroughfare), he still wrote me up.

You and I have so much in common. I'm an HB boy myself and Iv'e gotton hit a few times by those damn motor cops. The one time I remember was when this cop followed me on the sidewalk for two block on his motorcycle after I passed him at Bravo Burger. Scared the living daylight out of me when he pulled his siren right behind me.

On the subject of pregnant women and them getting SAPs..

It'll probably take one of these pregnant women riding stuff like Star Tours or Space getting in a serious accident to get managment's head in the right direction.

Not to sound mean or anything, but it sounds like an accident is the ONLY way to get management to change policy.

Oh believe me, we know.

Before you get an SAP you should have to sit and read the entire SAP manual and then take a test.

1) How many people can go with you?
2) Where is the SAP enterence for Haunted Mansion, Splash and Pooh?
3) Are you guaranteed immediate boarding?


and other important things.

I had one SAP lady--walking--cut in front of a line in a hat shop and demand that she be next, since she had the SAP and couldn't wait for the other people to get their hats done. I politely told her that SAPs were for attractions only and she had an absolute fit. I continued helping the guests I already had and she flitted out still in a snit, without the hats. I've been waiting for my Guest Complaint for months now.

Actually doesnt WDW have several levels of SAP? Actually some friends of mine got into a conversation with Matt Ouimet on the subject of SAPs (He was in FLA a few weeks ago when we were there). He started talking about how he wants to reform it like WDW's is..and not just have it as a "One pass to rule them all" sort of thing. Which I think is great.

As a guest I have actually voiced my opinion on the matter several times to guests and stupid teenagers. I have no issues with belittling people who use the damn things. Including someone I heard talking about how they and their friends were going to beat the system. Asthma was their final decision :: ::.

Yup, in fact they just changed the SAP system (again) this month. Now there are seven rubber stamps for different things, and each SAP card can have two stamps.

Wonder how long it will be before these cards and stamps show up on eBay?

Thanks for the Clarification Zazu. I can only hope that Ouimet excercises some power and does away with these damn things. It's probably the number 1 gripe I have on a long list regarding guests.
