Universal Studios Part II

Post by Guest Relations King » Thu Jun 26, 2003 12:05 am

Part II

--------------------------

Some people thought, even after we told them, that the landing at the top of the Starway was a stroller parking lot...Between all of the telescope things and it was amazing what people would leave there in their strollers: wallets, jackets, food, cameras. Then one time one of the managers moved all of the strollers to the unused queue area of the vacant theater next to the Starway and of course when everyone came back up the Starway, accused us of losing all of their personal property.

When I worked at the Starway, I would keep a bunch of maps in my back pocket because every day I’d get asked for like 20 or 30 of them....one day one guy pulled one out of my pocket then when I jumped cause I thought someone was stealing my wallet he says "I just wanted a map!"

Same thing happened at Waterworld, although it happened every day because people parked their strollers in front of the "NO STROLLERS" sign between the bleacher sections, and we'd spend the 10 minutes before the show started moving all the strollers to the wall. A guy started verbally assaulting me for losing his stroller with all of their personal possessions instead of looking for it, while his wife found it, where we left it, along the gate.

It was always great when we would make the speech to the people sitting in the wet zone at Waterworld, that the whole area, to the back wall, is going to get soaked...and that they still have time to move to dry seats. So they'd move one row back.


My buddy left his job at Universal and fled in exile as a neanderthal to live in the Cayman Islands....He's cut himself off from all technology. He sends his stories in Aramaic on crayon written 3x5 cards sent by pigeon.

Why not have your buddy sign up and tell us himself?


"A little swordplay, now and then, keeps my mind off sheep!"

"You're messing with my Zen thing, man."

"Dreams are as portals,
flat visions of misty places,
fragments bound below my surface,
but I can write dreams,
they flow from me,
inscribed but now unbound,
I touch them,
and they are real,
and they are real."

Amazing. You've just described the communication between management and the workers!

Magic Kingdom only began this means of communications after they laid off all the pigeons.

Welcome to my world. :bang:

I hate it when people try to get into my pouch without my permission.

It's like: Dude! I carry personal stuff in there along with company stuff. Do I go into your child's bag or your wife's purse grabbing pens out? :throw:

Just another annoyance of people who have no care for personal property...


"I have a stupid question for you."

"Can I have a map?"

"Where is the restroom?"

"Do you work here?"
