Epcot employee wins ‘People of Stupid’ award.


I was planning out our day at Epcot and wondered if I could squeeze in a show between attractions, so I approached the ‘cast member’ manning the stand and the following exchange took place: -

Employee - Sir, the line is over there.
Me - Yes, I was wondering if I could ask a question?
Employee - Yes Sir, the line is right there.
Me - Yes that’s lovely, but how long does the show last?
Employee - That’s the line on your right.
Me - Yes, yes, we’ve established that, but how long is the show?
Employee - The line will take about ten minutes to get in.
Me - Ok, but how long is the actual show.
Employee - It’ll start in about ten minutes.
Me *trying to keep calm* Right, but once the show starts, how long will it be before it finishes?
*Pause*
Employee - Sir, you need to get in the line.
At which point I stormed off, muttering words to myself that do not belong in a Disney Park.

Okay, so you didn't get in line after he repeatedly told you.

I returned later when timings weren’t so important. As a matter of interest the show lasted 15 minutes.

you could be home relaxing in your big house.

Nah, we’re having loads of fun. There’s just been a few incidents that have made me chuckle.

doesn't your daughter get tired of traveling. in my experience, kids don't travel well. i remember we were in italy/malta in 1997 for three weeks and my son was five. on day four, he looked at me and says, "dad, when are we going home?"

reply

No, she absolutely loves it because it’s all she’s known. She’s racked up over 300,000 air miles and took her first flight at 3 months old.

HE TRAINED HER TO BE A PAMPERED VAGABOND...FROM BIRTH...THE GIRL WOULD PROBABLY GO INSANE IF THEY HELD STILL TOO LONG.

Any flight over 4 hours is Business Class.

I’m surprised you are meeting so many oddballs in the hospitality/tourism biz in Florida.
That’s a major industry down there and they are generally very accommodating and professional.

Despite a million internet memes Floridians tend to be fairly polite and reasonable, you’re just having a bit of bad luck with a few blockheads🤪

Luckily you’ve got a positive attitude, just walk away shaking your head;)

I’m just mentioning the funny interactions. The last 3 weeks have been super overall.

I doubt that they would have seen the irony of it.

Don't get Tased, bro.

It was an honest and simple question.
