(found out later, she eased up when in control rather when under control).
back in my McD day's, our headsets had a function on them that we could talk to guests in drive-thru or to each other with ease. my manager (great guy he was) would mimic or make fun of the guests and sometimes me after they or i said something. sometimes he'd "mimic" me to the guests before i had a chance to say anything. caused much laughter during the usual hectic lunch rush.
Sounds like a fun place to work, if you have the right manager!!

The window wouldn't roll up at lost and found a few days ago, so we got to make the call that Lost & Found is 101.
My all-time favorite was while I was at the info board.
"Control to all units, Peter Pan is 101 - Wendy's head fell off."
This was like week 3 in my job, and that was the moment I decided I was never quitting. :)

Well, after jumping out of a window, being shot by an arrow, becoming an unwed, prepubescent, "Mother", wouldn't you "lose your head"?

Wow, never did a tally like that, she DID have a bit of a bad time! Wasn't she also kidnapped by Indians? And walked the plank when she was in the hands of the Pirates, come to think of it, she was kind of a liability to have around!

yeah.... it happens at Pan more than you'd think. Peter's arm fell off a couple months ago as well. In pooh, Rabbit's head likes to pull a Linda Blair and spin 180 degrees. Imagine what would happen if we had the Alice ride here *offwiththeirheads*

LOL, When I worked at McD's if we saw a hot chick in drive thru we would say "Tony/Toni in drive" every guy would make their way to the window.

I'm suprised the dark ride puppets (mannequins? characters? statues? thingies.) aren't monitered closer. They're, like, the only part of the ride besides the car and audio.
I have friends who refuse to go on the Alice ride at DLR. And Winnie the Pooh's not so harmless either.

In the jungle queue, the intercom is used pretty often to keep everyone entertained, both the bored skips who need a laugh and the guests who have to endure our 2+hour long line. There are a couple lines that are used more often such as the red rubber band, or no cutting in line ones, but out in the middle of all that, a skipper gets on and says "Attention all skippers! Attention all skippers! We've just recieved an urgent message from a Warden Wilson Matua just outside Harambe in Africa. The warden writes 'Hahaha, very funny skippers. NOW RETURN OUR LAUNDRY AT ONCE!" There were a few former KSR drivers that recently moved to jungle which made their day :)
