Yes, vending machines which take credit/debit cards. This is exactly what I meant. Polar33, thanks for posting more eloquently & to the point. Must be cool to be intelligent 
There was a sting in ODV 99 or 2000 when Rob was there. CM couldn't quite be nailed. After he was caught he'd already stolen a few thousand. Heard look on his face after he was caught was a priceless moment.

I've been wearing the same trousers for two months now -- I'm not getting paid to wash them, and I won't turn them in without a new pair to wear -- and their smell isn't getting better with the passage of time. The last estimate I got from Costuming was that new costumes would be issued for my role in October 2007!!!
Hey, Zazu, I was going to look you up the next time I was at WDW, but this will make it easier -- I can just follow my nose!
Here's hoping you get new pants well before then.

Thanks darph for the generous offer. :) Real choc cokes are hard to find. I'd love a choc coke from you, but I thought you said your next visit to DL would be in 08. 
Promises, promises - I'll wait. Make it a large plz. Naw, no one will care. No reason to sneak or be sly. Managers & leads have given up on me. None really pay much attention anymore. They just count the hrs. until I walk. Actually, not a bad gig. :D: :D:

Zazu, isn't there some way you could buy a pair of pants that are just like the ones you wear to work, and wear those? I mean, bad enough you have to wear polyester and it has to be dry cleaned (which screws up the environment), but the same pair everyday???? At Knott's our costumes were cotton/polyester blend, and we washed them. And you could usually get a loaner in your size, unless you were an extreme size. I mean, that sucks. In the meantime, try Febreze; just don't overdo it.

And the reason I should provide free supplies to a billion dollar corporation is....?

No loaners available. I don't happen to think that 42x28 pants are an extreme size, especially as larger and smaller sizes are on the rack.

Nope, I'll just stink until somebody decides that a second pair of pants sounds like a good idea, or I rip these and start showing up to work in my (Mickey Mouse) boxers. :D:

Then I don't feel bad attempting to get 48X28 pants. We have new costumes for our group and we were insured
that ALL SIZES we were measured for were in. NOT!!!!!!!!!! Am I surprised? HAH!!! :D:

Zazu, I was just thinking of your comfort and dignity. If I were you, I'd get new pants elsewhere, and tie the stinky company issued ones around the neck of the turdbrain that said you'd have to wait two years for new ones, and say to their face, "NOW WILL YOU GET ME SOME NEW CLEAN PANTS?????"
48x28, huh? Almost the size I wore, but I take a 30/31 inch inseam. :D:
