Stupid Guest Tricks

Well, like the topic says, "ever feel like you are being shopped?"

You know what I mean...a 'guest' who tries to get you to tell all the secrets about your role or the location or ....

Or a post that gets just too into the details....

Or a phone call to the front desk that is just a lil too knowledgable???

I get the feeling the Disney 'shoppers' are very active on line and on property these days.

Any one else?

Odd you posted this Mapo. Just 2 weeks ago I realized a person I trusted (non DLR CM) has befriended me for my ID only. Why this did not compute prior angers me. :( From now on it's 1. think twice. 2. Rethink. 3. Keep mouth shut! 4. Act with wisdom. 5. Decide if the questions actually need valid answers. 6. Shut mouth! 7. Say no in less than a sec. 8. Shut up! 9. Drop the friendship. 9. Always realize my ability as a CM & ID is a draw.

It's really too bad when you have to keep new friends at arms length because of where you work. It is understandable though. When we bought our home in Hawaii it was amazing how we all of a sudden had all these "friends" who wanted to drop by for a few days, or wanted to know how big the ohana was, or who wanted to use the place for a family reunion for two weeks. The funny part was they weren't even smooth or sneaky about it.

Yeah...well on the whole ticket and discount thing, I have one simple policy.

NO to *everyone*.

NO comps...
NO discounts (room, merch or tickets)...
NO signing in people on my Maingate...

You wanna go? Cool! Get your own room, food, hotel, and tickets.

And NO, my house is not your hotel EVER.

That's what happened to you MS. :( I can see discount totillas,free beer for sure,but that was just 'low budget'. :mad:

BTW, did I ever mention that there are morons who *date for park tickets*??

People suck.

Wow. That's a new low.

But if that's the case, I bet dollars to donuts .. mmmmm, donuts.... that there are CMs who work it the other way around.

People suck. I had a very, VERY, VERY sweet CM sign us in one day. It was an awesome privilege and we were (still are, never go away) grateful for that. I value the friendships over a free ride on Space Mountain. Sorry you had to deal with this :/

I guess there is no point in asking to use the place for the next 5-10 years?
