God I hate that. they do it at Wal-Mart all the time. I just walk through them and then turn to my wife and comment loud enough "Guess it's a family reunion in the middle of the isle"
Buggy wrote:But one stands out in my mind. We were waiting in line for a character signing in France in Epcot. There were these two kids playing in the hedge. I man that literally. One of them was lying in the hedge while the other one was trying to pull him back over the guard rail and onto the sidewalk. To make it clear, the kid wasn't stuck in the hedge; he was actively resisting getting out of the bushes.
I tried to get the cast member's attention and point them out to her, but she was oblivious, so I called out, "hey kid, get out of the hedge." They were gone a few seconds later. My wife said that I sounded angry, and I guess I was. Why wasn't someone watching those kids, or worse, was watching them and ok with them leaping over railing and damaging the hedges.
So, who was the stupid guest, them for being in the hedge or me for doing something about it?
They are the SG. you are the "hero" guest.
(Hey I like that maybe we could incorporate that in here. Guest that stand up and call out SG or that do something to help a CM are "Hero guest") Anyway. You had every right in the world to call them out. they were destroying something. that cost money to fix or replace, that causes ticket price to go up.
So for you I award this

Great idea, PapaMouse! I'm going to try and earn one of those badges on my next trip to WDW. Heaven knows there are LOTS of opportunities out there.

Thanks for the badge of honor! If it ever becomes a pin, I'll trade for it. :)

Pins aren't all that expensive. Just how badly do you want one?
Of course I'd still recommend
WWWD pins instead of starting up something new.
