Guests who demand the fireworks view rooms in the off season
Guests who say but I won't be going on anything, do I still have to buy a ticket?
Guests who spend too much at the parks and want a discount on their room for imagined problems
Guests kids who eat too much crap and get sick in our rooms, then Mommy and Daddy want us to clean it up

I have more, trust me.. Summer is still in full swing

1. It's a busy hat writing day. Three different castmemebers are sending guest my way.

3. I'm busy writing down an exchange on my OR envelope. Another castmember fixes the stampler and makes a comment i tell him i just used tape instead. It lead to a sarcastic conversation on how tape despensers doesn't contain stamples (to which i played along). A guest comes up to the register and the CM begins to help him. But, before they start the guest joins in the convo and playfully suggest that i check the tape despenser for stamples to prove it doesn't contain any. (Yeah, this is a weird situation but its disney insanity :-P) N e wayz I play along and tell him "Are you sure?" ::shakes it:]I'm[/U] pointing. (yes i said that) You go to the cruella de vil trailers and the bathrooms'll be right there. guest: Oh ok.

Geez, am super happy I got your "Where are the lockers?" question correct last night. You know I'm not sharp on quick tests :D: Have empathy for you & like you lots but your posts are THE FINEST when you are annoyed & pissed off ;) Will agree you have been "teased by the best of them." So fun though. LOL Next time you are off walk fast with your head down. Maybe this will save you from SGs!! It's those glasses :eek: They make you look intelligent. Gotta get a new look to avoid SGs. No matter what you tell a guest in Hollywood or where you direct them they will always believe everything is situated @ ToT. ToT is the only focal point guests know. Tis useless giving info to guests who babble away & are positive they know more than any CM. Stop being so nice when you are off the clock. Like any of us can really do this while @ the park. So you found out I sent you a guest or 2? Damn receipts with my name on them. Only sent you 3 guests last night. HA! The one night guests listen to me. Pathetic, but very funny :D: Abt your O R, darn - you reminded me I forgot to have a lead look at & sign my O R envelope. Wonder when I'll hear abt this mistake? Maybe this will teach em to give me a 12 hr. shift @ Pier then send me to close Rushin :banghead: Sorry you had such a horrid day, however....better you than me :biggrin: . know I'll pay big time for this post. Better shut up now ;)

Here's another pet peeve that happened to me today:

When a guest asks me a question and I don't give them the answer they want to hear, they ask another CM who tells him/her the exact same thing, and they believe that CM.

Guest: "Where's the Fastpass for Pirates?"
Me: "We don't have Fastpass here."
Guest: "You used to."
Me: "We used to require an E Ticket, too."

Can anyone relate to this pet peeve?

Guests who think there is nothing wrong with interrupting two cast members that are talking. They don't even know what we are talking about. They just assume we are talking about something personal or they just believe that their question is SO important that it can not possibly wait 30 seconds for me to finish my work-related discussion.

MEMO TO GUESTS: I can not do my job without talking to cast members. It is very important that I talk to them throughout the day. I need to talk to cast members about push ins, breaks, stocking, inventory, emergencies, etc. Please do not interrupt me. Please allow me to do my job. Your precious question can wait a measley fucking 20 seconds.

That has to be one of the worst! When I worked at River Belle, we had a menu change in January. So people would come in and look for the steak dinner, and not see it on the menu. So, what does one do in this situation? Wait in line, and order it anyway, and harp on the CM at the register.

Guest: "What happened to the steak dinner?"
Me: "We no longer offer that meal, our menu was changed in order to offer guests a better taste of the old west."
Guest: "Well, you USED to have it!"
Me: "Yes, we did, but no longer."
Guest: "You mean I waited in line all this time for nothing? that's bullshit."
Me: "well, ma'am, I saw you looking at the menu... something ought to have cued you in."

Same thing at Mansion only ours is a little more fun.
We had the fast past sign uncovered for oh....2 months before they covered it.
Guest: Where are the fastpass machines?
Me: We don't have fastpass at the Haunted Mansion.
Guest (now pointing at the sign saying "Fastpass Distribution"): You have a sign and when I was here in December you did!
Me: We only have fastpass during Haunted Mansion Holiday, this is the Original Haunted Mansion our wait is about 15 minutes right now, you don't need a fast pass.
Guest: But I want to get a fastpass!
Me; -Shrugs- Sorry

Me: See shes tall enough
Guest: But it is not approproiate for her to ride, I'll sue if she dies, you should have signs everywhere.
Me: madam as I was trying to say befor there are two signs at the entrance of the attraction with the same Cautionary statments

My pet peeve at Shrek 4D? Guests who try to come in the Gate A line without Gate A/GAP/VIP passes, who say that the greeter let them in, when I know full well that they jumped the ropes.
