Stupid Guest Tricks

My favorite though were the guests who would come up to me while I was moving strollers to tell me that their stroller was stolen because it wasn't int the exact spot where they had left it. I wanted to ask them, " gee, what do you think happenedo it?" I mean reallly, do you they think that I would move every stroller but leaves theirs alone just tbecause it is their magical stroller?

I get that a lot while working Fantasmic! I would be moving strollers and a family would come up and yell at me that their strollers were stolen and I asked them if they checked in stroller parking by Pirates and they just gave me a blank stare and reply, "No...." Then, I point them to stroller parking and they just walk away. :D

One time, I had a mother complain to me about saying how I won't let her lock up her stroller to a fence. She then had the nerve to ask me if Iiiiii would be pay for $200 stroller if it was stolen. Hey, if you didn't want it stolen, DON'T bring it to the park! When we did find locked up strollers, we just call Security and they just come and cut it. Or if it is locked on a stantion, I just lifted up the stantion and move the stroller. Ha, that will show them!! :twisted:

Every time -- I mean every *single* time -- when the parents come back, it's never, "Where's my kid?" it's always, "Where's my stroller?"

Which I guess says something significant about their priorities.

Sometimes I think Child Protective Services should open up a WDW branch. Somebody leaves their kid in a stroller like that they deal with CPS and not the cast. Leaving a kid in a stroller unattended like that is neglect in my book.

Exactly! Strollers have to be moved for safety purposes and locking a stroller to something is a major safety issue. Moving strollers around is normal, it's not like it's unusual and a surprise when it happens.

These are some of my favorite SGs, cause then they're all freaked out cause their stroller is gone and they locked it to something. And the thing about locking strollers to things is you can put a lock between the two back wheels and it just becomes too unwieldy to make it worth stealing. If it's not in stroller parking, though, us stubborn CMs will be determined to move it anyway.

Exactly Shorty! DLR needs CPS on property also. First week I hired in a mother asked me to watch her 3 month old in stroller. She was going on SM. You know my location. I'm not even near SM. Told her she could leave the baby but I'd call DLS. She wasn't happy with me.

That was damn narrowed minded of her. How dare you interfere with her fun. ;)

[sarcasm]DAMN RIGHT! If she wants to go on SM, she WILL go on SM and there is nothing you can do about it. :D How DARE you.[/sarcasm]

Seriously, some people should just not be parents.

Lock the mean SG and stroller in car. Don't let them bully the cast member.

If the SG was staying at the resort hotels, SG should get a baby sitter.

I was horrified the first time I came across a senior citizen who'd been left 'parked' in a wheelchair in the stifling heat. By the fourth and fifth times...
