I'm sorry to be the one to break it to you, but DL does not have the monopoly on the two fingered point. I learned it in cotillion, in grade school, when I went to work for Robinsons and then again at Bullocks, its a common way to direct a person without pointing, which is quite rude to begin with.

I've used a two finger point for as long as I can remember, and I'm only 14. I know some of my friends are offended when someone points with one finger, so that may be the root of it.

PoohBunniesHutch is right. Its not just CMs who use 2 fingers.

I don't know why this came back to me. That was not even the point of my story. I was explaining about how dumb the guest was that they could not even see the restaurant or the hallway. I just added saying 2 finger point to make the story more colorful. My story really had nothing to do with the pointing. So I don't know how it came back to me. I had seen someone else way back use that in one of their stories & it sounded good so I put it in.

Agreed, but I'd say for that if it's an obsessed APer doing it, they're probably doing it out of CM hero worship (the aforementioned "I'm an honorary Disney CM" complex").

Heh, I was actually EMBARASED about knowing too much about the park and Disney characters during my orientation when one of the trainers said somethign to the effect of - If you have any questions, you can ask me, trainer 2, Trainer 3 or R (me) or M (another trainee that showed too much knowledge). Worst part? She actually MEANT it. LOL

Embarassed me to no end.

Training goes by so much smoother when you don't have to explain to trainees that Tweety Bird isn't Disney. The bulk of my trainees said that they've never even been to Disneyland before. Heh ... one of the many reasons I refuse to train now.

Kinda funny, as I was sitting there, I felt I would be better suited to teaching orentation than what I was hired for....

Oh well, only gotta wait a year....

Okay, for allllll the AP's out there: The only people on God's good earth who ever get to wear their "I.D." of any sort are those of us with the eternally sought after "Access all areas" laminates (i.e. "the backstage pass"), and are called Roadies.

If you're walkin' around a theme park with your admission ticket hangin' around your neck...you need to learn how to talk to and hopefully have physical contact with, the opposite sex.

And yes, I have been reading a LOT of Hunter S. Thompson lately!

2 AP's come up to me yesterday in my store and ask me "Does the AP discount apply here?" I tell them that "If it's a Premium pass and over $10" So the one AP turns to the other and says "I'm not sure if we have that one or not."

How the hell can you not know which pass you bought?

You'd be surprised how often I hear that one.
