CJ's Rant Corner

Post by IndyandMarion » Sun Jul 24, 2005 3:33 pm

First, there was Here's Your Sign: The Disney Saga

Now, from the creator of HYS: TDS comes The Rant Corner.

And the topic is exactly what the title means, this is the place to just let it go (Instead of cluttering the other pages with random acts of ranting). Plus I'm starting this because apparently when I'm at Coaster, the way I get when I'm aggrivated is both funny and a mirror of everyone else at Coaster's thoughts. So without further delay...let the ranting begin!

Alright, so I'm at grouper today with Mrs. Faye (Who, is the sweetest lady you will ever meet...yet can be as hard and stern as a Drill Officer in the Marine Corps after 50 years of service with both Cast and Guests if the situation calls for it) and we're clearing the area (Alley way and garage area) when for whatever reason, just like traffic on I-4, the area gets backed up...Why?

BECAUSE OF EVERYONE AND THEIR BROTHER'S UNCLE'S MOTHER'S AUNT WANTING THE FRONT ROW.

Now, for those of you who have been on the ride, you might remember that there are two sections to the loading area and how it is set up. Well as the front row continued to grow and grow, I started telling people that it is at least a ten minute wait...

Finally, the line got to where the "front grouper" cast member stands...WHICH AUTOMATICALLY MAKES IT A FIFTEEN MINUTE WAIT (So we say, which is more or less, the truth)!

Rows 2-6 are going pratically being sent empty...

So I wiggle, crawl, climb throught the front row line to get in a good position to speil to the flow coming into the parking garage and speil the following:

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE BE ADVICED, THERE IS AT LEAST A 15 MINUTE WAIT FOR THE FRONT ROW. YOU WILL BE SPLIT UP FROM YOUR PARTY IF YOU REQUEST THE FIRST ROW. ONCE AGAIN, THERE IS AT LEAST A 15 MINUTE WAIT FOR THE FRONT ROW AND YOU WILL BE SPLIT UP FROM THE PARTY YOU ARE TRAVELING WITH!

Me: How many?
Guest: Five for the front row.
Me: 2, 3 and single rider in row 4.
Guest: We want the front row.
Me: Fine, you will be split up from your party.
Guest: Ok.

Two minutes later (Give or take an eternity):

Sir! We're not going to ride together! You need to put a few people in front of us.

My bump out came so I didn't have enough time to say: FIRST: I told you that you would be split up. Secondly: I put you in those rows to keep you together to begin with, so I don't need to do anything. And Third: I'M GOING HOME! HAVE A RICH MAGICAL DAY DUMBASS!

This goes to anyone out there who yells at us because your child has been on the ride "Three times Already today" (That's right, I'll let the cat out of the bag on how some CMs feel, not myself, seriously...I can deal with that, it's stupid questions and the front row that drive me nuts)

In the load area or anywhere outside, when we check a child's height... IF YOUR CHILD IS 47 AND 11/12THS...THEY AREN'T TALL ENOUGH! END OF STORY! YOUR CHILD IS THE WEAKEST LINK, GOOD-BYE!
