Stupidist Question A Guest Can Ask You!

[turkeyham]

Hi, I am new here. I was in line to purchase a turkey leg in Fantasyland. This lady infront of me asked the cast member "What is a turkey leg?" The cast member said "It is a real turkey leg." Again the SG asked "What is a turkey leg?" The cast member said "It is a leg of a turkey and allot of people like eating it." I felt so sorry for the cast member behind the counter.

The second time the SG asked it, the reply should have been "You can't eat one, as it would be cannibalism!"

My next question to the SG would have been "what country are you visiting from" (tho I would have mentally substituted "planet" for "country". Because it would be almost impossible that any american (or immigrant who has lived here through at least one Thanksgiving) would be unable to understand "a Turkey Leg". Or maybe it was the word "leg" that was confusing. Maybe they never knew a "drumstick" is the leg of a formerly living bird.

I'd have told her it is the leg from a shichimencho. (Japanese for Turkey, literally means 7 faced bird)

[Cheshire Figment]

I always tell people they are Emu legs, not Turkey. There is no comparison between what they have at Thanksgiving and the size of these. At least people don't ask me what they do with the rest of the Emu.

[Theme Park Where]

Oh YOUR the one spreading the Emu rumors! We get asked that by new team members at Universal all the time - did we know the turkey legs were actually Emu? No, they're actually turkey. We once had a SG complain that we would dare eat an Emu. I guess turkeys were ok.

[Cheshire Figment]

Oh YOU'RE the one spreading the Emu rumors!
I have another one about why they don't have Beaver Tails at Epcot anymore. That is because Disney is being Politically Correct and reaction to PETA complaints that Disney was mistreating and mutilating beavers.

I was mentioning to Polor33 about a situation a few weeks ago. I was in line to buy some ice cream. The SG in front of me opened the ice cream cart in front of her. She asked the ice cream vendor, where the popcorn was? Ok, now if you can find a piece of popcorn on that ice cream menu, let others know in the park that would be great.:D:

(visualizing) A three lobed frozen popcorn ball on a stick.

Sounds like a winner, but I would worry about the caramel holding it together getting brittle in the freezer.

When I open the ice cream cart, I hope I see a severed head in there. That would make my day. :)

Now I want some buttered popcorn Jelly Bellys.

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

The sell them at albertsons!!!

Mmmmmmm.

Do you have the "cookbook?"

[Randy B]

Now I want some buttered popcorn Jelly Bellys.

I still have a few of those and a few of the cinnamon ones left from my last trip. I've been rationing them so they last a while. But they definately won't last until my next WDW trip. As far as I know, nobody around here sells them (there may be a store in the mall, but I avoid that mess like a plague).

Next trip I may have to get an entire "cone" of each of my favorite flavors. BTW, on my last trip I got an entire cone of the mega mix for my friends who are Harry Potter fans. Something to snack on while reading about Botts (sp?) every flavor beans. :D:

Ehem..where do I live again? Podunkville! We are lucky the mall opens at noon on Sundays during Xmas.

NO I dont, but I think their site has a bunch listed.

Well, you can always move to San Diego, or Orlando!!!

[vixen101485]

I'm working on the Orlando one. Slowly working on Donnie's brain cells.

Been to San Diego, didnt impress me (no offense) Could be cause I was with my ex-lesser half and I now hate his guts so it holds bad memories. Tho I did like the shaved ice from a beach shop, that I bought myself (cheapskate ate it but wouldnt pay for it..hmmmppfff)

hmm too bad, we have great weather, and no hurricanes!!!
plus one a short drive to DLR!!!

and we sell Jelly Bellys in the grocery store, under "Health food"!!!

[svickersart]

I'm only about 40 miles from the JB factory so you find them everywhere around here.

People in San Diego are the worst drivers in the world (I think all the signs being in english might be a legit problem around there.)

If I could find a job I could servive on near WDW I would be gone in a minute.

While I am not a CM, I deal with the general public and we get lots of stupid questions. The dumbest thing I am asked, and it happens fairly often is when I answer the Phone, it goes like this: Me: "Johnny's" (this is the name of the company I work for)
Dummy on the other end of the phone: "is this all about towing?"
Me: "noooooooooo, thus me answering the phone "Johnny's". "
this is often followed by "do you have their phone number?"
My answer: "no, i never bother to memorize my competitors phone number"

I've had people call for my competitors' numbers before. It is one thing if I look up the part but we don't carry it for them to ask but quite a different thing to just call and ask for the number.

I also get "Is this AutoZone?" a decent bit. This is after answering the phone "Thank you for calling AutoZone, this is <name>. How can I help you?" I'm tempted to answer "That's what I just said, dummy" but I don't, I answer "Yes, it is."

I would never get away with giving a smart remark like you give even though I do think them.

[CMGUY89]

We had a prank caller keep making calls to the Soarin' Tour Desk so they changed the extension. That really screwed with our heads for a few days.

[Terrytunes]

Oh yeah, a funny one the other day. On the Wildfire Hero's promo tickets being offered at the 2 Calif parks, they have a 30 window to use the 3 days. One SG using his ticket came up to the window and asked, "Why does the ticket say that it expires on 2/11/08?" CM (me): "Because it expires on 2/11/08." "Oh, the person that sold it to me told me that it didn't have an expiration date." "Yeah, it expires on 2/11/08."

At least he read the ticket. Maybe he didn't understand it, but at least he read it. A lot better than most SG.

Heres a great crank call for you, we get one one night from some kids, my GF answers and they start making funny noises so she says "Citrus
Heights Police, how may I help you" of course they hang up. Well, I guess they didnt think of caller ID cause she calls them right back and says "this is the Citrus Heights police, we recieved a call from this number." they hang up and she calls again, and again, finally mom picks up the phone because its ringing off the hook. My Gf tells them its CH PD and she is sending an officer over to "check things out" mom promises she will handle the situation and there is no need to send an officer. Dont think those kids were making too many phone calls after that.

Ha! Are you sure it wasn't the strippers union?

It might have been a wetsuit company.

Here's something that happened away from the theme parks, which proves that it's not just some spell that makes people stupid as they pass through the turnstyles and that there's a good chance they're just stupid alltogether! Anyways, I used to work at Publix and was cashiering at the time, standing in front of aisle 3 where the breakfast items are because it was slow and we stand in front of our registers to welcome people in. I get greeted by someone who asks me where the cereal is. I tell them aisle 3 (not to mention I'm standing directly in front of it, sign above it with a big 3 and cereal on it) and then they go and ask "Where's that?" I tell them "It's squeezed between aisles 2 and 4, you can't miss it!" They gave me a dirty look after that :rolleyes:

[hobie16]

They gave me a dirty look after that :rolleyes:
They probably had low blood sugar and were looking for a carb fix from some Captain Crunch Berries, Sugar Frosted Flakes or Super Sugar Crisps. You should have sent them to the soft drink aisle for some 2X Jolt Cola.
