Stupid Guest Tricks

Most of you know I work in the Guest Services Building at the park. Shucks, that's how I found out about this place to begin with!! :D:


Anyhow.. I get a message on my machine to call and talk to my stage scheduler, and when I called her, to be told to call the building. So I hang up, call the building, and speak to my lead: Hey.. this is Patti--'Soandso' said to call and talk to 'theotherlead'. I'm put on hold, and transferred to 'theotherlead' who asks me to SWITCH my shift on Sunday, from 630a-3p to 10a-630p-- WHICH WOULD MAKE ME BE PART OF THE STAFFING TO DEAL WITH THE STUPID MILEY CYRUS COMPLAINTS!!!!!!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Ok, so when these stupid people ordered these tickets, it stated in BIG, BOLD PRINT that the NAMED CARDHOLDER MUST BE PRESENT TO PICK UP TICKETS AT WILL CALL and that no changes would be allowed.

All we have been dealing with, aside from orders for the Trick or Treat party at DCA, has been Miley Cyrus "I need to change the name on my will call order for the birthday concert" calls. It's gotten so bad, we have plans to have a celebration of our own on Monday that we're calling "the end of Miley Cyrus complaints potluck." So for 8 hours on Sunday, I'm stuck with the problems and the SG's that are going to try everything in the book to get me to give them the tickets that they CANNOT have, nor can I change the rules so that they CAN pick them up, and I'm going to be called every name in the book, and be accused of being "the rude cast member that won't let my precious buffy into the Miley Cyrus concert"..

Will you all send calming thoughts my way on Sunday, so that I don't lose my precious patience with one of them and tell them they are an idiot cause they didn't read???

And people wonder why we want a raise....

Close eyes, assume a peaceful position, and repeat after me....

OOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM.......... OOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM......

There, is that better?? ;)

Oh they read..

The issue is most o the people you are talking to are ticket speculators, (scalpers) who bought a bunch of tickets and have resold them.

Which means they have to get the pick up name changed to the person they sold them to.. (I am sure you are fully aware of this)..

It's a shame that people who have no desire to go to the event suck up so many tickets and prevent people who genuinely want to attend from being able too, and turn a quick profit as well.

Everytime I picture someone saying "OOOOOMMMMMMMMM......"
that commercial with the happy cows from California comes in to my head with the cow telling the duck, "Close your eyes, feel the breeze and MMMMMOOOOOOO....."

Anyway, sending peacefull thoughts to you (Canuikstan) either way you say it. ;)

My bet is Pattimelt will have a Pattimeltdown and start hunting ticket scalpers with an AK-47. :twisted:

Sorry you are having to deal with all this rot :(
We will be there Sunday to pick up some pins, Are bracing ourselves for the horrorshow of thousands of squealing Miley fans, plan to stay as far away from them as possible!
Can you put up a sign for all Miley ticket name changes directing them to some bouncer types outside the Park? :twisted:

So funny! "precious Buffy" :D:

Anyway, you really have my sympathies.

All I can say is just take it one SG at a time, and remember to breath and think calming happy thoughts...Like imagining that every SG you speak to ends up getting hit with an anvil. :twisted:

*hugs the Pattimelt* Not just an anvil, but dress them like Lilly's wildest clothes on the tv show Hannah Montana. Hehe

Too bad you can set up a small video camera..then Upload the good ones to Youtube!!!

(hehehehehe)

I can bet that I'll have some GREAT SGT stories on Monday...
