[rocketman666]

Well I work at mission space a notorious ride for making people puke I mean hell we even has puke bags on the ride. in addition to all of this we also have 12 signs that u pass by before getting on the ride and many screens showing exactly what u will be doing SPINNING that’s it and I still have people that have pulled down their restraint and are ready to go and say "DOES THIS SPIN " AHHHH at this point I just close the capsule
And send the ride

Very typical rocketman. I had @ least 25 guests last night who insisted their meal vouchers could be used toward clothing discounts :rolleyes: Guests won't/can't read signs nor tickets. There's no hope! After the park closed we arrived @ K Lot & 2 guests were on the CM shuttle asking to be taken to their hotel :eek: Big hearted Emporium CM loaded these guests into his jeep & transported them back to hotel off property. As he passed me in K Lot he stated gruffly; "Adult guests are far worse than children!!"

They can't read, can't look up at a sign that answers their questions, don't
know their right from their left, don't know their primary colors, can't count
higher than five and are obsessed with how much a wait time is going to be.

The most alarming thing is that these people drive.

[saidthekat]

it's not that they CAN'T read... it's just that they DON'T read. guests don't pay $XXX dollars to read signs all day long.

Congrats, you just found out an age old fact. GUESTS DON'T READ AND LISTEN!

It's just not at Disney where these idiots won't read signs. I've had several clients show up late because they didn't read their summons. I've had many no shows. I mean come on people you don't want to go to jail do you because you are too lazy to read something. It happens at the airports quite a bit too. I fly a lot through Atlanata, and they have signs in 6 languages to direct people to their planes, and people constantly go to the wrong gate.

yes its true and sad really... these people are let loose onto this earth and they can't read yet you wonder how they ever get around on life! Maybe its just that I dont have a lot of money to waste or that my mother was always looking for just a bit more than the norm when I grew up but I was always taght to read and "discover" everything around my environment. of course I still miss signs etc. on occasion.. (heck I just learned how ebay bidding works and that lil tidbit pops up EVERYtime I was out bid by another person) and yes if working at Disneyland has taught me anything its to slow down and read and those visiting wont read, listen or ask for help until they are pissed off!

Something should be done about that so it doesn't happen again!

it's not that they CAN'T read... it's just that they DON'T read. guests don't pay $XXX dollars to read signs all day long.You have to remember that they only pay to get INTO the parks, and not to read or listen!!

You have to remember that they only pay to get INTO the parks, and not to read or listen!!Odd. They can tell the second admission prices go up. They will quote wait
times to the minute. They know a bag of chips and a hot dog will cost eight
bucks. They are devious enough to try carrying their kid through a height
check and (a actually think they're the first to do this and (b that they'll get
away with it.


But a simple "Fastpass Return" sign just baffles them. A little blue marker with
a number four on it becomes calculus. "Continue up to the first gate"
seems to be communique from an alien galaxy.

New nomenclature! "Baffledism"!

I had one of these today myself. I was running food at Hungry Bear, and called out the guest's reciept number three times before I called out the actual order and finally got his attention. Good greif, people! If you expect your food to be hot, PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR ORDER NUMBER for crying out loud!

[RocketBoatZ15]

Guests really don't try to read anything!! Whenever I am at the Carousel Of Progress, guests walk all the way into the theater until they realize its NOT the blue trains aka in guest mind, the monorail. The signs are there THREE of them, two small ones on each end of the enterance ramp and the one HUUUUGE sign.

By this time, I am calling to guests to hurry because I am about to put the chain up. They can't decide whether to experience the carousel because in their own folly, they went to the wrong attraction.

Now they have to consult junior and granny and auntie to decide to see it. I just tell them that they have to wait a few minutes until the next show and they huff at me and they want to know how to leave. People love to waste their own time by not consulting a map properly or look at signs.

I Love It! :love2:

[seashoreCM]

Sometimes I wish signs had fewer words in large print, more to the point. One time the monorail was out of service for renovation and a sign with a lot of small print was standing in front of the ramp.

I would have liked to see: "MONORAIL OUT OF SERVICE -- USE FERRY"

I have to add, guests can not count. They can not tell time. They do not seem to be able to follow directions. And I am just a guest myself, but it drives me nuts.

[BTTF4Life]

Scenario: Guest is pissed because they can't bring their bag on the ride (ROTM, for example). They fuss about not seeing any signs. If they had opened their eyes, they would have passed 12 signs that say PUT YOUR BAGS IN A LOCKER!

[CBeilby]

Tell me about it. When I used to work at Knott's Berry Farm, I was on Bigfoot Rapids for much of a year. You would not believe the number of guests who came up to the unloader (me in all to many cases - I loved working unload,) and bitched about the fact that they got wet. Um, folks. I think that the seven signs that say 'You will get wet, you may get drenched,' the waterfalls that in 85 degree plus heat that hit the boats, and the fact that the queue is surrounded by the freaking ride system, which is full of water, would give you a freaking clue!

[mitros]

Man, you guys are fantastic! I am a guest, and my God, I don't know how you put up with the incredible knuckleheadedness of some of these guests! :confused: We see it all the time ourselves,and when we see someone doing something so obviously stupid, we feel like shaking them by the shoulders while screaming: "ARE YOU BLIND, OR JUST STUPID?!!" You folks deserve a lot of credit for what you put up with and still manage a smile. {I know, you scream inwardly} :D:

I've got another one:

A guest asks "Is this a rollercoaster?" after they're already seated. Not only were there several signs that said this is a rollercoaster, but the track is obviously rollercoaster track! :oweye:

That may have been my cousin that did that. They were driving back from Miami, and they decided to go to Universal one day. She's such a chicken and her kids convinced her that the ride wasn't a rollercoaster. When I eventually called her when she got home I had a good laugh.

:duh: I worked @ Cirque Du Soleil at Downtown Disney and we would go dark for an extra 2 days every 90 days. This is planned out over a YEAR in advance and we would put up a sign in front of the box office (so you practically have to TRIP over the damn thing to get to the box office windows) that said there were NO performances of the show that night....and it NEVER FAILED that some idiot would come up 10 min before what WOULD NORMALLY BE showtime and try and buy last-minute tickets. I would put on my BEST Disney-smile and inform them that we are dark and there are no shows tonight. Then they'd get PISSED at me and storm off...
