Re: Birthday Don'ts
Maybe what needs to be done is to gang "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" 'em. Whenever a b-day button is spotted, a message is sent out and groups of CMs flash mob them.
Hire some Brazilian tour groups to follow them around screaming, "FELIZ ANIVERSARIO!!" Set up some cheerleader hit squads to hide in the bushes. They jump out and do happy b-day cheers whenever a button is spotted.
This is a win-win deal. It gets the Brazilians and cheerleaders out of your hair and will drive the whining b-day boys and girls nuts and possibly a little paranoid.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

If that's the case, maybe I don't want to get one on my June trip.hobie16 wrote:Maybe what needs to be done is to gang "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" 'em. Whenever a b-day button is spotted, a message is sent out and groups of CMs flash mob them.

Awwww, come on. Wouldn't it be fun to be mugged by some lip stick overdosed cheerleaders? Where's your sense of adventure?Lasolimu wrote:If that's the case, maybe I don't want to get one on my June trip.

Re: Birthday Don'ts
Maybe you could just have them sign something saying they understand that the button is all they get in order to get the button. That way if they start claiming they get other things because of it, pull out the contract and show them that they get nothing. They will probably point out that your copy doesn't have their signature on it, but you tell them that it is the exact same as the one they signed when getting the button.GRUMPY PIRATE wrote:Maybe THATS the problem!! make them BUY that sucker!!!!

Then you will get the SG's that claim they didn't have time to read it...or CAN"T READ!!!Lasolimu wrote:Maybe you could just have them sign something saying they understand that the button is all they get in order to get the button.

I think if you made they PAY for the button, they would start to figure out that TANSTAAFL!!

Re: Birthday Don'ts
Well then, if they admit they didn't read it or can't read you have the right to take the pin away from them, and I think you should be able to throw them out of the park. If they can't be bothered to read a little, than they shouldn't be allowed inside in the first place.GRUMPY PIRATE wrote:Then you will get the SG's that claim they didn't have time to read it...or CAN"T READ!!!

I had a guest the other day ask if her friend could get a discount because it was the friend's birthday (friend was there and was wearing a birthday button).R.Boss wrote:Just as long as you don't ask for anything free, i'll be happy
What, getting into the park for FREE isn't enough, you gotta try to get even more perks?
Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.
