I hate when guests ask....

[Stduck]

I was loading at Pooh and this guest asks me "Do you lose your voice at the end of the night?' now personally I wasn't spieling that loud just loud enough that I can be heard over the music. I said no and that I project with my diafram. I then recieved an odd look.

My other favorite questions?
Do you get tired of waking all day?
Do you ever feeling like you are getting no where?
Do we go down or does the cieling go up?
(First two in reference to the load belt at Mansion the last to the Expanding Room)

[lady ulrike]

Do we go down or does the cieling go up?
So, which is it? :twisted:

Sorry, had to do it, you can smack me now.

[abc]

For me in custodial, when you are "pre linering" before the parade (asking guests for their trash to reduce the amount of trash after parade and not fill up trash cans as much), you are asked by about an average of 10 moms "can you take my husband/child" when you ask "Do you have any trash that I can take for you?". I usually don't know whether to respond with "sure...i'll send you the bill later" or just ignore their comments.

[DLSweeper]

"Do they pay you a lot?"

I get that damned question all the freakin' time! NO, they pay me SHIT! They pay everyone else here the same amount! NO! The costumed characters, and foods people get paid more than me! NO, we're not the most paid deparment in DL!

Man, I've wanted to say that to a guest for the longest time. :roll:

[Stduck]

-smack's her- thank you I feel better!

No serriously it depends on which park you are at :roll: Disneyland is the only one that goes down (And its not an elevator.....)

[Ottar]

Disneyland is the only one that goes down
Disnyland Paris, too... :wink: :D

[Stduck]

It does? Does that mean its a hydrolic lift too? Hm....I thought ours was the only one...(had to get the guests under the train tracks some how....

[Grumpy]

Do we go down or does the cieling go up?
That's when you playback that one line that goes....

*ahem*

Is this haunted room acutally stretching? Or is it your imagination?

(I hope I did that right ... LOL)

[Stduck]

Yeah that's right just forgot the "Hmmm?" Don't get me started, my brother did that I ended up reciting half the attraction...

New favorite stupid question in reference to the mansion costume and its code 90.

Aren't you warm in that?

[Grumpy]

Aren't you warm in that?
"Of course I am ... it's Disney's way of helping (those of) us (that need to) lose weight. Ya know, since Walt was a skinny guy, this is how they choose to keep the "Disney" look, and torture us. Any other questions?"

*Sorry to anyone that might have taken offense. I'm not the skinny little human-lollipop who's gonna rag on all the people who have meat on their bones! I do happen to be one of those people that DO have excess meat on my bones; therefore giving me room to talk.

[Stduck]

No offense taken thanks to that lovely green skirt and blouse combo I've gone down a size :). Oh yes I like to wear hunter green long skirts in the summer all the time! Oh and the moron disney hired to design costumes never thought about comfort or fabric breathablity. *cough* berlap sack pants *cough*

[PrncssCinderAlly]

my biggest pet peve: How many miles you walk in a day? (ref to load belt at mansion)
and also, now that splash's FP machines are moved, every one asks where to get one but no one will listen when you answer it once, they have to get in line and one by one ask you the EXACT SAME QUESTION!!!! grrrr! I've come to learn to just yell it about 3 times every 5 min and then they go away...and the dumb ones still ask... :roll:

Has anyone gotten a pedometer and checked on it?

[Stduck]

We joked about going to McDonalds and getting one of their "adult happy meals" just for the stepometer thingy. No one did.

Hey Princess do I know you?

[DLSweeper]

I acctually got one. I walk anywhere from 4 to 12 miles every time I sweep!!!! :p

you prolly know me... take a good look at the name... maily the last part lol

[1team1dream]

Greetings from someone from the department that everyone in other departments love to hate, you know the one, yeah that's right, ODV. My favorite question is..."Is that thing heavy?" No sir/maam, it generally takes 5 people to push/pull light objects!!! :roll:

[Space Man K7]

wow... it's been a while.

Now I always enjoyed the stupid things like "aren't you hot in that coat?"
- the appropriate response is always... "If I was hot do YOU think I would be wearing it?"

There was also a real good one at Columbia/Twain. I was at Turnstyle and this woman comes up to me and asks, "Is this the line for the boat?" this is all done AS THE COLUMBIA IS PULLING IN... I reply, Yes, come on in." She adds, "But I want the Pirate Ship." and I said "Come on in." The she goes crazy and yells.... "well there are two of them you know!"

I had to walk away... I wanted to yell back "REALLY, I HAD NO IDEA... I ONLY WORK HERE."

[aliceindisguse]

I hate the stupid coat question. There's that one and also "Do they sell those coats" or "Do you get to keep the coats." Ugh. I mean I like our winter coats in fantasyland but I don't like them that much.

[GMC]

gosh, i wish i worked in fantasyland, those things look hardcore warm, our courduroy coats at indy are next to useless, the female coats look nice though, but their jackets are heavy shirts, no linning, and no good against the cold. and the univeral pea coats on steam strains, those are good news, too bad i can't wear them at indy.

[MEng85]

well on alcatraz its foggy 300 days outta the year and the wind chills you to the bone...its even worse when its raining in fall and winter...the temp drops to the low 40s sometimes and all they give us is a fleece or a windbreaker... :shock: there are a few "heavy jackets" and everyone fights for those... :lol: i usually lose...people always expect the so cal weather in SF and u can usually tell a tourist by their bright jackets and sweatshirts that say " I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO"... :lol: :D

Yeah I'm really glad that we have the wool jackets but it sucks when it rains. Because we're stuck outside so much, they absord a lot of water and they get soooo heavy the rain gear doesn't cover them and they smell like wet dog.

[GMC]

so i hear, it's been dry the whole 5 months i've been working here, so i only have the stories of other to know how to dress, i hear though, that if you wear thermal underwear and just the normal jacket, it's not so bad. (that's for the rain so that you dont smell like wet dog)

[aliceindisguse]

I would where our other jacket but oh my god is it hideous who ever decided that poop brown was a good color should be shot. I'd rater smell like wet dog than wear that ugly thing.

[Space Man K7]

after spending last winter on the cloumbia.... thermals are a must. Oh wait there was the moment in time where someone decided that canoes HAD to open with the park during Christmas. Nothin says lovin like opening at 7 am and having the dock iced over while you're wearing stupid moccasins

[Main Streeter]

Heavy thermals & layer, layer will get you through late fall & winter @ DLR. On stage can be bitter cold, unforgiving environs. :cry: Layers allow you to peel/ put on. Only way to go!! Don't forget your issue cloves & white neck scarf. One yr. Custodial screwed up order count & warm, white neck scarves were like finding gold! No white scarves could be found after 4 p.m. I gave up freezing & finally ran to TDA, bought a white scarf with a small Pooh stitched on the end & was WARM! Didn't get caught for over a month. When manager finally saw my "entire" scarf in dept. office she told me the pooh scarf couldn't be worn on stage. Looked @ her & smiled as I went to the top. Final call; "if there are no issue scarves or gloves" a CM can (if they push :wink:) wear their own scarf & gloves if they blend & all monogram things are hidden. Custodial jackets are so warm! Don't look bad off stage either 8)

[Main Streeter]

I hate the stupid coat question. There's that one and also "Do they sell those coats" or "Do you get to keep the coats." Ugh. I mean I like our winter coats in fantasyland but I don't like them that much.
A guest offered me $250.00 cash for my Custodial jacket in 01. Thought he might be a mystery shopper or??? Was so stupid, :lol: told him my jacket was not for sale @ any price. Would I be this stupid again? Yes :roll:

That's when you wear socks too ... and lots of hot cocoa. That is what makes the mansion costume great. Skirts are deceptively warm.... -gins-

[abc]

Yes the custodial parkas are awesome. Waterproof, has a hood and fleece on the inside. Beats the crap out of both the transparent and yellow rain gear. Get these, just the bottom raingear, and ask a manager to get a pair of boots from the custodial management locker and YOU ARE SET. Too bad its only good for like 2 months of the year at night. The price is very high though, at $90 on the company's website. Also you dont have to wear pouches.

[Space Man K7]

The Monorail coats aint too bad either... put the white scarf UNDER teh fur collar and you look real pimp. but that little jacket.. hello capt EO it's gotta go

[GMC]

i like the Monorail costume in general, but yeah the jacket is terrible. i like the longer coats and jackets, anything that can catch a breeze and billow in my wake is awesome. too bad the evil queen is a femal charcater, i would love to walk around in a snit all the time. cruela gets to do that oo, but she's more talkative... i guess i'll just have to become a fuzzy and be the queen of hearts.

[GMC]

I had a religous extreamist come up to me one day a week ago at Coaster and simply asked "Have you tried Jesus"

Yes sir I have, I pissed him off somehow and Florida got three damn hurricanes for it.

[coldfire409]

Yesterday when I was Gangster I had a guest ask me what movie they were in. Now this is just after I pressed the spiel button and the whole "This is Alien, you are with Sigorney Weaver abord the spaceship Nostromo. . . " had gone off. Then the people in the front row went off arguing weither it was Star Wars or StarTrek. :bang: They then went off arguing about what movie Raiders of the Lost Ark is after the auto spiel said "In Raiders of the Lost Ark Indina Jones . . . " It may have been the same person who didn't even call GMR anything close to what it is.

[IndyandMarion]

Arguing...about what movie...Raiders was.

Ok, YOU only have a pistol.

I have a pistol and a bullwhip. And I've got a feeling Im about to whip some ass.

How in the hell? I-Gr. I need to go calm down before I loose it.

[coldfire409]

Ok, YOU only have a pistol.
But at that time I was out of bullets, and it takes so long to reload. At least longer than it takes to go through the scene. Plus those damn brass rings in the chamber makes it hard to shoot a .357 magnum cargrage out of the gun. But with a saboat I can shoot a .225 caliber cargrage out of the pistol, but it takes too long to load a cartrage with a saboat.

[IndyandMarion]

Damn.

All it takes is 3-5 seconds for me.
Grab
Unferal
Pull back
Snap
Recoil

Try working Matterhorn when on an average of once every 45 seconds you're saying, "No we don't have fast pass. No it doesn't say that we do in the map. Yes you have to wait in line. Yes a line that long is only 15 minutes."

[Polar33]

Half of the day shifts that I worked during my first summer were on the churro wagon out front of the Matterhorn, so I feal your pain. The only thing I've ever delt with that tops the Matterhorn/FastPass questions in the annoying factor is the "How do you get to the Rocket Rods?" that you would get wherever you worked in Tomorrowland. The other half of my day shifts that summer were spent on the popcorn wagon in Tomorrowland. I had many days were I had a line that formed just to ask that damn question. After a while I just told the first person the directions and then just told everybody else that asked afterwords to follow them.

Custodial gives maps out upon request, sometimes maps are even taken by guests from our pouch :roll: No matter how often I tell guest there are no Fast Passes @ Matterhorn they insist;'There have to be Fast Passes. I have to ride it & I'm in a hurry." I tell them the line moves quickly. Then they begin to argue!! Why waste time arguing when getting in line would be quicker? I know, dumb question on my part :!: Even had a family ask me to go with them because they knew if they were "escorted" by me they would look important. :bang: They'd look important with me??

Polar, didn't you work with a really great, funny too, ODV CM Josh A? He used to talk abt giving directions so often he'd finally just say "pass it on down." Josh always made everyone laugh. Wonder why he quit? Maybe he's still @ DLR & we work diff hrs.

Fastpass...evil devil like tool. So with it being Haunted Mansion Holiday our fastpass line goes around the side of the house. I'm at Groundskeeper doing the screening wheel chair thing. These (obviously APs) people say "Isn't fastpass supposed to go up the stairs?"

"Nope this is mansion holiday you go around the house once"

"But we'll wind around forever"

"No you won't"

"This is fastpass its supposed to be fast"

"We garentee a 5 to 20 minute wait upon return."

I liked my ride when fastpass went away.

[IndyandMarion]

Ah the pleasure of dealing with Annual Passholes...I mean passholders.

I know, a lot of them are actually nice and not up tight. But every so often...

Like one time at Fantasmic! I was doing radio (So that instantly makes me a target), had a woman come up and ask
"Where's the entrance for Annual Passholders"
"Why? Think the card makes you special?" (Acutal answer...not joking around, one of the managers had managed to piss me off real bad, which is a challenge in it's own right)

Anyways she actually said "Yes, I pay a lot of money for this pass, where is it?"
"We dont have it." (I wanted to add) You want special seating, buy the dinner package" but refrained from it.

[Zazu]

After a while I just told the first person the directions and then just told everybody else that asked afterwords to follow them.
I did that once, "See those folks in the red shirts? Follow them. Only not too close, they may think you're stalking them."

The guests gave me The Look, so I decided that wasn't a good on-stage line.

Oh, this question is a P I T A :evil: Have finally become honest with this question from AP guests. Tell them; "There certainly is an entrance for valued APs. The entrance is at Main Gate entry & you MUST HAVE COME IN this gate. Didn't you"? Someday I'll be caught :roll:

yeah honey, that's everyday at indy.

"hi we have fast pass, are we in the right line? (at rotunda, just before the film room.)"

"yes" (playing dumb)

"but the person next to me doesn't have one"

"oh" (do i care?)

"so is this the right line?!" (probly getting annoyed)

(time to be intelligent-ish) "well, you see,-" (interrupted)

(interrupting) "no i don't see why i'm in the same line as a non-fast pass guest!" (now has special privliges, and probly God-like powers... all made up)

"....(is she finished? i hope so) as i was saying, once you reach the top of the ramp out there, the fast pass line merges with the stand by line, at this point everyone is in it together, you make your ways here, to the rotunda, where you wait, typically, less than five minutes, to see our 2 minute safety flick, that the state says we have to at least show you (even though, you're not going to pay attention and still put the belts on the wrong way, ...and ruin my life) from there you on the the next part of the line, where you wait to be grouped, then you wait for your ride, and then we make sure you didn't f-up seatbelts 1a-proper buckeling. and then you ride, and go on your merry way!" (please no more questions)

"what about if i went that way, i see people over there, is that fast pass!?" (this guy is trying to doop me into going the wrong way!)

"NO miss, that's for wheelchairs" (Crap crap, she's holding up the line, the counts are going to drop, ahh and all the fast pass patrons that are stuck behind her, crap crap, they're all going to bitch and moan "this was more than 20 mintues" yeah right whatever, i've only been arguing here for 19 minutes, you still got ime, save the bitchin for someone who cares, ahhh!)
"miss, if you'll continue right this way, we'll get you on as soon as possible"

"..." (whatever, he doesn't know what he's talking about, he just works here, hey that guy has a nametag too, i'll go bother him with my problem which was bred out of my own stubbornness!)

You see GMC dahling. I did mansion holiday last year during Christmas I know the hell that is coming. I had just gotten used to not having it and loving every second of it. Now its back. Plus the idiots with fastpasses lined up out side the gate so bad that we had to stop checking times and lett everyone who had a fastpass in regardless (yes the GC lead made that decision) ARGH! make the insanity stop!!!!! I can't wait till the mansion line makes use of the extended queue, the fountain queue and the crossover queue. You know that raised area people stand fo Fantasmic? Yes that becomes out queue too if it gets that bad.

[hulkcoaster]

^^Exactly why indy's fp line should go down the exit, no more special wheelchair line and standby gets to wait inside.

Better idea. Just get rid of Fastpass all together make people wait in lines. Oh my god! Pirates and Mansion proved that Fastpass doesn't work. Then no more stupid guests ... oh wait that would be wishful thinking.

[coldfire409]

I had a guest ask me today at GMR where the fp is at. I told them we don't offer fp and they went on about how long the 20 min queue is. I mean come on don't you realize that fp had made all the queues longer. I remember Buzz without fp at mk and the longest queue was 35 mins. With fp the queue is 90 mins.

I love the guests who ask what time an event starts (extra points if they mention the showing time in their question) and then get belligerent when I give them the exact information that's already posted in the GTTM or on the Info Board.

"No, I want to know what time it *REALLY* starts."

As though either A) we purposely mislead guests or B) I am psychic and can therefore tell them that Snow White is going to call in an her understudy is going to have to go on.

[aliceindisguse]

I know what you mean I love doing parade land help and people come up to you and ask what time the 4:00 parade starts. But whats great is telling them 6:00 and they believe you and walk away before you can even tell them your joking.

[GMC]

fastpass is effective, sometimes, when it's busy and we actually have a wait time, however on days like today, when managment decides we don't need full rotation to run the attraction at full capacity, and we dn't really have much of a line anyway, we should be able to close our fast pass. Today was supposed to be my playday, but i wound up working (not comlaining, this give me six days, well sorta complaining, because it's another week or so before i can actually go and see holiday mansion.) Any way we had people bitching out the butt about how the fast pass line was 25 minutes, instead of like 0 (one woman had the nerver to tell me that on EVERY other attraction it gets you directly to the front of the line, and it GARUNTEES a less than 15 minutes wait)

my lead was actually sending people to City Hall and telling them that the reason we were slow is because managment
A) insists on having us have fastpass open, regardless of the fact that there was virtually no standby line.
and B)management did not give us the labor resources to properly run the attraction at full capacity with fastpass

and essentially tell them to complain that we were understaffed, and that they didn't feel fast pass was worth thier time, and really it wasn't, because they plan thier days around thier return time, and expect tht short wait, and we try and accomdate that, but we can't all the time, and it really sucks for people that can't come to the park on a daily basis, and experience everything whenever, like most of our APs do.

i usually tell people not to bother with getting fastpasses, on days like what today was, because there was little to no need for it, and we were all shitting our pants trying to keep things running smoothly. It really makes me angry that managment understaffed us, and i had to give up my freetime to come in and work, as a result of thier faults, well i didn't have to, but i try and show iniative. The managment team should have been there as RO's today, so that they can know what we deal with when they do that, or at least remember what it was like back when they were leads and and RO's. i should probly stop ranting now.

[Stduck]

Aww poor GMC. Well wait a week then come visit me at Mansion, or find a morning on a weekend you are off and I'll go with you.

Yes people don't understand fastpass, nor do they try to when you explain it. America (and quite possible the world) has become the biggest group of impatient people ever! I am impatient but hell I grew up going to DL as a kid and lines were just something you delt with. Everyone had to wait in line. There was no Fastpass. I remember in my training that upon return Fastpass was a 5 to 20 minute wait. The Fastpass wait time also depends on the number of tickets we give out per period (we give out too many), when the people come back, and if we had to give out re-admits that day (IE evac). I also hate rider switch passes. We have them at mansion over holiday as a curdesy. MANSION HAS NO RESTRICTIONS!!! And its not that scary. When I was young, if we weren't tall enough or were afraid to ride, my parents didn't take us on it. I remember the first time I went on Thunder, I was 7, I was tall enough, and I also remember that I don't recall any of the mountaisn being in the park till then cause my parents didn't take me near them cause I wasn't tall enough!

Ok enough of my wandering rant. And I have to work Mansion tonight.

[GMC]

damn lazy kids, what bugs even more is that people expect to be treated like royalty because the have a fast pass, no, stand-by patrons get the same service you do, and once the lines have merged, everybody is equal. i want to go one day at indy w/o fast pass, and see if we can get the same counts.

[Stduck]

Gavon the Mansion A lead wants to pull fastpass on a busy day in November and see what happens. Oh I bet Indy and all the attractions w/ fastpass would either get the same counts or better counts without fast pass. I always feel sorry for standby and if fast pass takes to long then don't make stand by suffer! I send groups of stand by in till fastpass finds thier tickets. (Serves them right for putting them away)

[Krytoes17]

Do you get tired of answering dumb questions all day?

Do you get tired of pushing buttons?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?????? YOU JUST ASKED A DUMB QUESTION!!

[GMC]

i usually answer "yes, but not always, it's ok though, there's always something that reminds me why i come back to work each day, (it's usually people emphasizing with me about what i have to put up with [not said]) like when people come off the ride and say thank you, or just come back smiling."

Kryotes what location do you work?

Yeah ... its the little kids at pooh who grin from ear to ear when they get off the ride. Then the momment is ruined when I ask them not to close the door and mom or dad yell at them for it.

[Thatguy]

the otherday after making a big deal about a little girl's birthday while making sure to pay attention to her sister the mom sent the girls off to dad and ended by saying "thank you for making my little girls feel so special."

not really a kid making the day for me, but it was so heartfelt that it made up for everything else in the day.

True, our standby line at mansion would be a lot faster but then we would get about a quarter million guest asking where or why we took out fastpass and then its off to city hall! Its come to a point where Fastpass is only here because our guest demand it not because they need it.

As far as stupid questions being asked i have a few...

At Mansion
Guest: What time do we return for fastpass?
what time does it say on your ticket?
Guest: You mean we have to wait till that time?
.......... :!:

Standing in front of the Rivers of America....
Guest: Exscuse me sir.. but i have a question
Sure whats your question
Guest: Well.... is the water here real? (pointing to the river
I just walked away

At Mansion Load 1
Guest: Can we wait for the front row
Sure wait to the side here and tell me when it arrives!

At Splash MT dispatch
Guest: Excuse me, can you hold my backpack?
No sorry you have to take it with you.
Guest: Well, what do i do when we go through the loops
Hold on tight!

[Stduck]

Ok I was standing at end of line at the Mansion last night (I am like permanatly at end of line for the holiday season so if you would like to find me go there) 3 people came up and asked me "Do you work here?"

I was thinking WTF?! Ok I have a bat hat on my head, I'm dressed from head to toe in hunter green (actaully I'd say viridian green with a touch of cad red medium to nuetralize the blue in viridian but I degress). I have been spieling "This is the regular stand-by line for the Haunted Mansion!" And I have a name tag. No I don't work here I'm an obsessed freak who bought the costume and name tag on e-bay.

[SRT_GB]

Last summer I walked out on stage and a little kid was asking every CM that walked by and asked if their nametag name was their name. So he asked me if my name was Brian (which it is), and I answered him, "no, it's Joseph" and walked away.

I used to always answer that question with "no, actually my name is a series of clicks, beeps, and whistles that the English alphabet can't spell out, but Brian was the closest approximation."

My personal favorite was when a guest walked up to me and said, "excuse me, Brian, do you work here?"

[GMC]

no, then walk away

[CrystalSkull]

Ugh I hate that. I'm usually out on Big Thunder Trail taking pictures and people will be like "Excuse me, do you work here?".

No ma'am. It's my vice to dress up like a cowboy in a pink shirt and take pictures of random strangers.

[DLRFantasmic!Dan]

So he asked me if my name was Brian (which it is), and I answered him, "no, it's Joseph"....
That happens sometimes, and I go, "No, my name is Dave. I borrowed someone else's name tag" ;)

[BRWombat]

So he asked me if my name was Brian (which it is), and I answered him, "no, it's Joseph"....
Not to defend truly stupid questions, but that one may be excusable. There's enough CM chatter online about losing nametags and having to wear someone else's, that the guest might just be trying to make sure he calls you by the right name.

On the other hand, if the guest really is such a Disney freak to know that and care, he probably deserves to be messed with!

[leftcoaster]

"What's your name?" (Asked by dumb blonde)

"Heywood. Haywood Jablome"

[Stduck]

While standing at the Foyer at the Mansion in full winter gear minus scarf and gloves.

"Are you cold?"

[goose]

If anyone can think of a polite response for "What's the frozen lemonade?" Please let me know. I could think of nothing nice to say so I said nothing.

[GMC]

"roasting actually, mind holding my cloak for me?"

[Stduck]

"roasting actually, mind holding my cloak for me?"
I was comfy....no guest is getting my cloak!

[Zazu]

If anyone can think of a polite response for "What's the frozen lemonade?" Please let me know. I could think of nothing nice to say so I said nothing.
Any time a question I ask seems too complicated, I try to break it down into smaller questions. In this case, "Is it the 'frozen' or the 'lemonade' part that's giving you trouble?"

[LegoDan]

If anyone can think of a polite response for "What's the frozen lemonade?" Please let me know. I could think of nothing nice to say so I said nothing.
i would say "Uh, it's frozen lemonade"
and repeat if they continue

if you act as dumb as a guest they will stop asking

How abt; "It's VERY cold lemonade. Like a frozen popsicle." Very basic. I'd assume guests would understand. :wink:

[coldfire409]

How about just breaking everything down. Tell the idiots that it's lemon juice, which is a fruit grown in subtropical areas, with some sugar added, which is a tropical cane type, or beet substance with water added to that which is comprised of 75% of the planet taken and placed into a freezer which is an appliance with the internal tempature taken down to 32 degrees. Usually when you start breaking it down to that they will take off.

you know i think it's best to tell them it's yellow snow, and really good, if you don't drink it too fast. or a lemon slushy.

I had a guest the other day ask how much for my coat, I was like nothing I'd freeze all winter cause costuming won't give me another (btw, I work in Fantasyland and is was those really long coats that smell like dog when wet)

That's your first problem, never assume guests understand anything. :)

[coldfire409]

I've had several guests ask me about how much I'd sell my costume pieces for. One day I had a guest ask me how much for my pistol when I was gangster, and once when I was bandit. These guest think that they can get anything off of us.

[kinkygibsongirl]

we have (or had) this ice cream flavor called "Fantasia" which consists of three flavors: pistachio, bing cherry, and banana. also, it says so right beside the name. i always get asked if they can have pistachio, "sorry but it's inside the Fantasia" and they refuse to believe me

[disneyHOBO]

I had one women ask me if california screamin was 2 different coasters. when I told her it was one coaster and not 2 she started to argue with me. she even followed me around so she could fight with me. :roll:

[LegoDan]

at granny's apple friesthe kids say

"what are the fries made of mom/dad?"
Parent: "potatoes"
me: "actually our fries here (at granny's apple fries) are made out of apples"
Parent: "are you sure?"
me: "trust me, i work here"

this stuff hapoens everywhere, dippin dots is another one where this type of stuff happens

[coldfire409]

Apple fries sounds. . . intresting. I've never been to legoland and this is the first time I've herd apples being made into fries. If you don't mind answering how do they taste. Since Apples have an adapatable tase, but then again so to potatoes.

[LegoDan]

if you can imagine what apple pie tastes like when it's made with granny smith apples, then you pretty much have the taste of our "Cinnamon Apple Fries"

i think they're pretty good, but some people don't like them

[aliceindisguse]

Ugh I hate when they ask if they can buy coats(which stupid guests do all the time). I mean I really like them but I wouldn't buy one if I saw it in a store....

Same thing goes for my rain gear and you can get at costuming, a guest ask if they can buy it here. I just said that it's ours and they can purchase a rain poncho at any of the stores.

[neptune]

...and they can purchase a rain poncho at any of the stores.
Guest 1: "How much are the ponchos?"
Me: "They're $6 each."
Guest 1: "You're kidding me!! They're like $1.75 at Target!!"
Guest 2 (different family): "There's a Target on Harbor Blvd., why don't you go get one?"
" ... "
Guest 1: "I'll take one."
Me: "That will be $6.47. Is there anything else I can get for you today?"
Guest 1: "Here" (Puts down the money and walks away)
Me: "Enjoy your ride!"

[goose]

:lol:

Awesome! I love when guests say what we can't say. People do that to me too. "I could buy 6 of these for 6 bucks at 7/11." I just stare at them wishing I could say: "No shit, dude. I don't control the prices and I don't make commission. So buy one or don't. I truly don't care."

[sledspace]

I don't know if this was already said but, I hate when guests ask questions then leave. Ex:
Guest: "Excuse me where is Indiana Jones?"
Me: "turn right..." and guest walks off.
I sure hope they know where to go after turning right in front of the castle. I never understand when people ask questions then leave you in mid sentence.

Then there was today when a guest asked how to make a complaint about another guest. :roll: YA, another guest! It was a good laugh because my lead basically made her think we were actually getting security to "watch" this poor family.

[abc]

^yeah that or when they ask you where something is, the whole family is there, you finish your answer, then they head the opposite direction.

[LostMalfoy]

Anybody working in Tower might be able to relate, but the top two there:
-Where do we pick up the photos?
..."Pitcure if you will" is right in front of their face...
or
-What happened to our picture?
...it was the one dropped because some wise...arse...decided to flip off the camera, flash it, stand up, make an obscene gesture, or consume something. You can decided which among those options it was, and enjoy the rest of your stay.

But the best one was when I told the price of one of the disposable cameras to a guest and they looked at me for like...ten seconds, just gaping before, "You mean in dollars?" *smack* I told one of my CM's later, and they said I should have used, "No, we here at the resort operate in Yen." It works with any currency really, outside the Peso or Canadian Dollar...they're too close.

Of course when they turn away I stop giving the directions so hopefully they figure it out or not lol.

[SoarWhoreCoCo]

:twisted: MY favorite thing was when I was working at Jungle Cruise (WDW) and these dumb asses ask me where the entrance to the Jungle Cruise is...

me "right here! :) "
guest: "No really, I'm not in the mood for this shit today, wheres f***in Jungle Cruise! :mad: "
me: OK, first go up these stairs, go straight ahead past pirates, you'll see Splash Mountain, take a right by Pecos Bill's Cafe, Head towards Liberty Square, when you get to Diamond Horshoe Revue turn right, go through the breezeway and you be in Adventureland, the Swiss Family treehouse is right in front of you and hang a right, you'll see a ramp to your left head down towards the building by the river, and you'll be at Jungle Cruise :D: "
guest: "thanks, was that so hard! :mad: "
Guest and party walking away:"....anoying know it all smart asses :mad: "
me: (INSIDE VOICE) YEah see you back here in twenty Jackass :D:

That's as good as at Mansion at DL.
Guest: Where's the fastpass?
CM: Go straight up this walkway its right there
Guest: No where is the fastpass
CM: Get on the train, get off at the 4th stop go to your left its right there.

[LostMalfoy]

Oh my gosh...it finally happened today. I know this is a kind of variation on the theme of "Do you work here," but I was working jewelry in Greetings tonight and this guest comes up to me. She looks straight at my name tag and asks, "Excuse me, Carrie, do you work here?" I was gobsmacked. I wanted to slap that lady.

[GMC]

at indy,

g is it really only 15 minutes?
me no, it's closer to three hours, i just felt like seeing how many people i could cram into the line.

when there was no line. so we posted at 15 because it's a long walk.

how long is the line?

how long does it take you to walk a quater mile?

huh?

it's about a quarter mile to the tour location, on average it takes about 15 minutes.

:confused:

right this way please.

OMG that is so true. We get the same crap over at tower. While standing at greeter, I must have been asked 100 times if that was the real time. :rolleyes:

[GMC]

why did the ride break?

Because everything worked properly. (The kid stood up, tower followed procedure, the e-stop worked, and the ride became "broken," not orated to the guest.)

[Stduck]

Hehe GMC, yeah that's usually how it works.

At Pooh
Why are you guys broken. "Cause Pooh spilled hunny we're cleaning it up"
Real reason: The crew I work with is stupid and can't disbatch vehicles on time or People refused to get out and we couldn't disbatch and we backed up and broke down.

Mansion
Reason: Facilities is lazy and said they'd fix Leotta 3 days ago, my Lead got fed up that it wasn't fixed and desided to go 101 so that it would get fixed.
What we told guests: Madam Leotta Lost her head. We're looking for it.

Yeah I love when guests ask why you're down. Look its broken, like a car. We called facilities and they are fixing it.

[PirateJohn]

Then you get the geniuses that go to City Hall to complain that rides are broken.

Listen, Einstein, if YOU can build a theme park where nothing ever breaks, you give the Vatican a call and have your park declared a friggin' miracle.

[Main Streeter]

[murf]

I always love the "______ was the only reason we came and its not working! I want a refund!" (actually happened while I was working parades last Sunday and the steam trains were down for all of twenty mins.)
and yes I was just GC for the parades and the steam train is not my attraction but they would ask me why it wasnt working. (I told the guests that we were jealous out at the trams and came to stop all the attractions so people would have to ride the trams for fun!) :twisted:

Got one of those a while back.
"I have been waiting here an hour! (he had we had been 101 the entire time I had been there which had been an hour) I demand that you go up find out when you will be working! I paid $53 dollars just to ride this ride!"
He was chewing out a cast member you should NEVER go off on. Needless to say the cast member kept their cool and eventually the man stormed off pissed. Best part? Less then 5 minutes later...we were 104.

[lady ulrike]

I love when that happens. Someone is very loudly and vocally complaining and then storms out right before the ride comes back up or lead gets there to comp them or something, it's great. :)

[PirateJohn]

One of my favorites was when I was working parades on Main Street. The day before had been a fiasco, so I heard, so the lead was very adamant about keeping the walkways absolutely clear. We had a small meeting in one of the walkways to discuss our roles.

My job was to keep the east walkway clear.

For about five minutes after our little meeting, I started spieling about strollers before returning to the walkway, where a family of three was standing. The viewing area right next to them was virtually empty.

"Are you planning on joining us for the parade?"

"Yes," said the father.

"Ah, well, sir, this is a walkway only --"

"Well, you should have told us that a half an hour ago!"

"Um, I was standing in that very spot less than five minutes ago and you weren't anywhere around."

"Whatever!" And he stormed off.

[GMC]

after a down time

Is it open now.

*turn to look at the line, look back at the guest, look at the line* Yeah.

[Stduck]

after a down time

Is it open now.

*turn to look at the line, look back at the guest, look at the line* Yeah.

Not only that GMC dahling but when say you guys at Indy had a down time and guest comes up to me at Pooh Greeter and say "Is Indiana Jones open?" I said "Yes" (I always assume an attraction not on scheduled referb is open)
Guest "But it was down earlier can you call?"
"No I don't have a phone"
Yes a lie, but sorry the last thing Indy's tower wants is a call asking "Are you guys 104?" When there is a down time at Mansion Tower is getting buzzed on the ride phone, calls from management. Sorry I don't want other locations (except the info board) calling asking if I am 104.

[1karenhb]

Wow, you attraction cm's have it rough! I can be standing behind a register and a guest will ask if I'm open. No, I'm really on break and have no better place to go :rolleyes: Guests are constanly asking the price of items. Other than cameras and film, everything is tagged. Get your head out of your butt and look!!!

[Thatguy]

My fave was always when you'd be midspiel on jungle and a guest would ask you a question about another attraction... one skip I knew would then take the guests map and begin reading from it, after a bit he'd ask if they'd like to know more or rather hear the jokes. (he was never asked to read more)

personally? I always ignored them.

[Main Streeter]

Guests are constanly asking the price of items. Other than cameras and film, everything is tagged.Guests asking tagged prices is the eternal thorn in my day. If I can see the price...so can you. :twisted: Just proves few can or WANT to read when @ DLR. Don't mind telling guests the price of an item, but don't ask when I have a long line @ cash reg & demand an answer with my full attention. :( Secondly....guests won't believe CMs move from store to store & memorizing all prices is not in my contract - last I checked. Abt the only places a guest can't check all prices is @ Souvies 66 & in Mid @ T's. Much @ Souvies is behind counter. Some items in Mid are too high. Glad to price chk when reason is valid. Validity @ DLR?? Never! :D: :D:

[Thatguy]

sorry, gotta ask, T's means what now?

[Stduck]

sorry, gotta ask, T's means what now?

Is that the shop in Paradise Pier? The T-Shirt one? I am guessing based on abbreviations.

[PirateJohn]

I came up with a new one today...

I was standing in front of Pirates with the "Wait time -- 10 Minutes" sign behind me.

Guest: "Is that ten minutes real?"
Me: "Nope. It's artificial. At Disneyland we use NutriTime. It's just like regular time but with only half the calories."

[Main Streeter]

sorry, gotta ask, T's means what now?T's = Side Show Shirts on boardwalk @ Pier. 3 stores in one. Point Magu sells jewelry, Mid or Manhatton has many items but no cash wrap & the largest (3rd)room is Side Show Shirts. Should have clarified this in my post. T's is short for tee shirts....
I "assume." Never asked :confused:

[PirateJohn]

My biggest pet peeve:

"How many in your group?"
"Twenty-seven." (They have two)

Geez, people, it ain't funny. I'm working my ass off to get guests through the line and you just throw a friggin' wrench into the clockwork with that bull. I only get that same stupid joke five times a day.

"All of us" :oweye:

[saidthekat]

My favorite is when you ask how many are in their party...

and they reply with 27, and actually mean it.

Once at Storybook, we had a group of 47... and all of them spoke only Spanish. At least they were all wearing orange, so we knew where they ended.

(p.s. our boats only hold 14)

[CBeilby]

We had something like this at Shrek 4D this last week. A group of about twenty guests in wheelchairs, along with a few ambulatory guests, including a couple of supevisors, one of whom only spoke I think Hebrew. Unfortunately, we only have space for eight wheelchairs. It took a while to convince them that they couldn't all go in as a single group, even with transferring, since we can't have the wheelchairs in the aisles...

[PirateJohn]

Actually, it's not that uncommon on Pirates to get groups of several dozen. Especially the tour groups from China, which often enter in groups between 30 and 50. Fortunately, a couple of my co-workers speak Mandarin and Cantonese, so if they're around I can often count on their help.

If they're not around, I've gotten pretty darned good at pantomime.

(p.s. our boats only hold 14)so what, did it like sink or something? i sent a train with 42 people in it at thunder, the group had done it before so i said, ready... go. then i went up and down the platform a few times to advise seat changes (for those with certian body shapes, as the new space sinage puts it,) and rearrange more than 3's. they were all skinny choir girls, so most of them had no problems.

[saidthekat]

we sent them on a few different boats, silly.

i would NEVER load a boat past its capacity. *looks innocent*

[PirateJohn]

i would NEVER load a boat past its capacity.Not officially, anyway...

[americawestguy]

my least favorite question i always got at disneyland was "how many people can this place hold?" or "how many people are here now?" It is like i don't know! i don't count the people as they enter! also when that horrible streettacular light magic was playing, we were responsible for cleaning up all the confetti. before the vacs and stuff got to the area of confetti, we would sweep up with pan and broom. people would always ask or joke, "i don't think your going to get all the confetti with just a pan and broom. i never knew how to respond to that. it is like gee thanks for the tip. i sometime got the question, do you like your job? ugh. I do like my job maam. i mean to get to deal with questions like yours!

[FerrisWheelJunkie]

-What happened to our picture?
...it was the one dropped because some wise...arse...decided to flip off the camera, flash it, stand up, make an obscene gesture, or consume something. You can decided which among those options it was, and enjoy the rest of your stay.

You guys drop the picture if someone is consuming something? Interesting. I've had m picture dropped a time or two for throwing up the rock hands, and it always annoys me, but I suppose it's just assumed that it's either a gang sign or obscene. Ah well.

[Double T]

Every attraction I know of is very specific that there be no eating or drinking.

Heck, tonight at BLAB, I shot down four different shots of SG's chowing down on a churro while staring right at the camera.

Don't follow the rules? No picture.

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

It's kind of amazing to me that someone would WANT to eat or drink on an attraction.

The whole idea is to enjoy the ride!!

oh..wait...

SG's!!...... nevermind!

(too bad you can't curtail their magic and show them the front gate!)

people would always ask or joke, "i don't think your going to get all the confetti with just a pan and broom. i never knew how to respond to that. Haven't these SGs seen Fantasia? Those enchanted brooms to a great job.

When I worked at Backdraft at Universal Studios, people asked me....
Is it hot?
Will I get burned?
Will my shoes melt?



I also hated it when guests asked why they couldn't keep the 3D glasses.
