MY SG Experiences
Posted: Tue Sep 11, 2007 6:32 pm
Having worked at RFC in DTD for a little over a year now, I've accumulated quite a few experiences not only from my restaurant but also from around the World.
A recent example of bus riding, my brother and I parked in DTD (in order to pick my mom up later on) and bus hopped to Epcot. As we entered the bus, it was practically filled due to two ECV's. No problem, guess I'll stand-which i hate doing due to my prosthetic leg. The bus movements make it very very hard to keep my balance. So, as the handles begin to cut into my hands, the young gentlemen behind me do nothing to alleviate the one needing a seat. Gee, thanks. anyway, my brother and i get seats since the ECV's get off at PI. I then watch as a mother practically forces a granola/power bar into her 7-9 year old daughter's mouth. I liked like she was feeding a chipmunk! The new audio systems then come on explaining about TL and how to "Remain seated until the motor coach comes to a stop" the SG then stands up AND STANDS IN THE DOORWAY! The bus lurched and if it had anymore speed to it, she would have been eating pavement...and so would her daughter! I sat in shock as someone like that was allowed to have kids...
another thread was mentioning the brazilians and boy..from RFC, lemem tell ya....i have nothing truely and honestly against foreigners of any sort. but do not assume we all know your language right off the bat. further more, closes at 11 PM means we closed at 11 PM. At 11:15 we don't let anyone else in. a family of 7 who had a return time for 10:50 walks up 20 minutes after we closed and demanded to be let in. "it's not our fault we got lost" they say to me. "it's my little brothers wish to be here" they say. Guess what, that's all well and good but...we're closed. end of story. they go off saying we ruined their vacation because we closed on time. I had another group of 10 arrive 5 minutes before close. 5 minutes after, they leave because i was curious as to where the rest of their party was (since only half of them were here). they lied to get in and lied to stay at a table but because they spoke very little english and i speak very little spanish, they thought i was being rude (to which i wasn't). Some of the strangest people that come in are usually foreign. We had a couple come in once. they sat at a table, shared a coke, paid for it and the next 2 hours ROAMED from table to table. The manager asked themt o leave once, they came back adn then he followed them tot he exit. it was a very nervous and strange time (didn't help they looked middle eastern).
we tend to laugh at the rainforest because of how dumb people can be there.
