Stupid Guest Tricks

I'm a Secruity Aid at Knott's Berry Farm for the Halloween Haunt and I've already encountered some stupid things. When people are waiting in line to be checked by the metal detector, I tell them to take EVERYTHING out of their pockets. When I tell them that, they ask, "Even my wallet?". What part of EVERYTHING don't they understand. After a while, it starts to become annoying when people don't understand the word EVERYTHING.

Another stupid thing I've seen just happened on Saturday night when it started to pour at KBF. It started to pour and I'm at the main gate patroling and two guys come up to me and my partner with one of those outside table umbrellas in their hands. They take it off the table to use to avoid not getting wet and walked all the way to their car and were caught by some other secruity guards and told them to take the umbrella back. That was stupid, they didn't figure they would get caught and they did and they ended up getting wet after all.

One more stupid thing happened on the same night during the storm. People were using the trash can lids by placing it over their heads. For one thing, its stupid, and another thing is that the trash can lids really stink. Its amazing what people will do to avoid getting wet.

One last thing about guests I encountered. Some of the guest are actually amazed that gum wrappers has metal in it. When the metal detector beeps at someone's pocket, the guest takes it out and says, "Oh, its just my gum". I tell them that the wrapper, which is foil, is a metal and they are amazed about it. They get excited because they learn something new.

Type up some stories that you have about secruity, if you're not from KBF, it doesn't matter, as long as you're secruity at a theme park and have some good stories.

Welcome to Stupidguesttricks.com Memopad! I hate to tell you but i don't think we have any security guards on this site at all. At least none that have shared the fact. But welcome anyway.

I'll tell some co-workers about this site. Maybe they'll join the forums and spread the word out.

OMG, this is so gross! Makes me sick to think guests used filthy trash can lids to cover their heads. YUCK :!: memopad85, you've just epitomized a stupid guests. Thank God DLR guests can't pull this trashy trick. They would if they could. Bring your KFB Security CMs & post your adventures to our site.
Security stories from any park would be more than enlightening.

All right, I'll get in on this...
I was Security then moved to Loss Prevention...

Then quit.

Hmm, did you do your job so good that theft stopped?

or was there another reason?

Hmmmmm?

Nope. Just couldn't stand the place.

Sorry to hear that. Well, I was talking with a DLR CM last trip that was "guarding" a VIP (waiting for them actually) and he was saying that they need (experienced) security!

Yeah, the protocols and regulations we're borderline asinine. I had a guest attack me because I found his drugs, (during the course of my job, as we screen people as they enter the park) and I got suspended for bringing him to the ground and having a police officer handcuff him.

Oh, and I couldn't press charges because of "policy".
