If they handing out dreams then they will delete all records of me at the parks, give me a life time premium pass to all parks, and make me the CM in charge of special needs guests for all parks.
I want my dream fulfilled and that is it and do not forget my ECV and costume. Churchy waits for dreams that will never come true at Disney for her. Poke Eisener.

I forgot to mention. (I should have taken a picture of the sign). It said that the sodas were free and there was another line at the bottom which said "Part of the Disney Difference" WTF
They really think that free sodas really make a difference. There they go pushing the Disney Difference again which we all know really doesn't mean anything. I'd rather have better wages over free sodas.

Hmm. I don't think any CM's dream or wish was to have free soda. My idea would be to have a few more CM nights besides just Christmas or some random special event. The park closes at 8 on weekdays now! Give the CM's a damn reward and let them come in to enjoy the park without SG's. Is that too much to ask for? Oh and let them have their discounts for those nights.

I know of other companies that feed their employees for free every day. Talk about a difference. Not only that, the food tastes like people food instead of puppy chow. Oh yeah, they pay more too - my dream for everyone - "Earn a living wage - the Disney Difference."

nVidia, Google, companies like that. But, they also expect you to put in 16 hours a day every day.

Granted, it's because they don't allow them to carry cash so they can figure out easily who is stealing, but it's a free meal none the less.
The food there is way better than any other park (at least for the guests). They have Panda Express, El Pollo Loco, Pizza Hut, Dodger Dogs! We have shitty cafeteria food. I don't know if they are allowed to eat on stage or get food from on stage though. When I went there last week I didn't notice if any of their employees were eating on stage.

Polar33, not doubting you but how can an employer ban an employee from carrying cash? This question sounds stupid 
yet I'm asking so I can understand. I never carry more than $10 as most all goes on my Partners card, but carrying crisp $1s & change for backstage drink machines (which are thieves :mad: ), it seems cash would be a must in any work environ. Does Universal issue drink vouchers for breaks & after shift drinks? How does Universal security search employees for cash? Believe me - I ask this in total fear as I've not been very respectful to you lately. Plz show mercy. :jesus:
