Idiot Commuters!

Hi, I'm new to SGT.com, but not to SGs! So I thought I'd share. :)
Last week...
Several guests approached me, one eyeing my nametag very intently.
Guest - "You're from GEORGIA?!"
Me - "Yes, sir."
Guest - "How far away is that from here?"
Me - "To my town, about four hours."
Guest - "YOU DRIVE FOUR HOURS TO WORK EACH DAY???"
Me - "Um, actually -"
OtherGuest - "Is it true they even have people from other countries who work here?"
Me - "Yes, Disney hires people from all over the world. For example, at Epcot -"
Guest - "Like from China?"
Me - "Yes, there are cast members from -"
Guest - (more quietly and to the other guests) - "These people commute back and forth from other countries each day to work at an amusement park! What fucking IDIOTS!"
As they walk off and I'm left staring at their retreat dumbfounded, a very elderly guest (probably 80+) motions towards where they'd been and whispers, "If I'd ever raised such idiots, I'd've taken 'em out back and shot 'em."
I had to take a few moments for myself in the stockroom to compose myself again after that!
