I was once on duty when some joker from Disneyland RR called the WDW Main Street Station and asked the newbie who answered to hold the train until they called back. I caught it because they said they had a problem at the Tomorrowland Station -- which we don't have!
I called their manager and suggested he review with his cast proper telephone protocol... or we might start returning the courtesy. :twisted:
That a dirty trick to tell the CM to hold the train from across the country!!!! VERY NAUGHTY CM! And not that funny if he really did it and did not have someone who knew better.
But that is interesting that the system works that way, I wonder "WHO" thought that one up!

I don't understand the not carrying ID either. When I was in Japan, I kept my passport and id on me at all times, especially after I saw a Japanese policeman stop a guy and ask him for his passport.

Giving in is negative reinforcement. When I was teaching I'd have a few students always wander in late. I finally started charging $1 for every five minutes late. Second Harvest made some good money off my classes.
I had one guy show up late and demand I start over. I told him he owed me $2 for being late. He said If I didn't start over he'd call his manager. I told him to go ahead and then I would call his manager and have him sent home. I got the $2.

My mom had a friend at church whose grown son was traveling on business, went out jogging without any ID on him, got hit by a car, and lay in the hospital unconscious for a week before authorities figured out who he was based on the families missing person report. You should ALWAYS have some form of ID on you just in case of emergencies.

Amen. Just today I dealt with a kid who made a quick dash to the store at night, wearing his pajamas, in his girlfriend's car. He gets pulled over for expired inspection and registration and he has no driver's license on him. Poor kid gets arrested. I'm sure he learned to always carry his DL with him.
And probably also that the Dallas County Jail is not a pleasant place, especially for a teenage kid in his pajamas.

Just when we thought it couldn't get any worse, starting November 12, the limit for requiring a signature on credit card transactions is $50.00. :mad:

I'd really like to have my signature and ID checked every time the credit card is presented. I've heard that writing "Check ID" on the back of the card in sharpie over your signature will help this happen. Is that true in your experience?
