      @@emilyswanderland on a vacation with my sister in Miami Florida I said a nice hello to house keeping hotel personel. they did not respond at all to that greeting. when me and my sister asked for towels at the hotel they had this complaint look on their face it was so disrespectful. these hotel personel types are not friendly at all. another unpleasent experience was at a restaurant in Cap Cod years ago my family ate at this place. the waitress she not only was mean she yelled at us. finally I had enough of her bad attitude from her so as a boy I got snappy right back at that rude waitress. but I probably should not gave done that it didn't change anything. over the years I excepted people are going to be rotten to you that's them some of those won't change I avoid them now.

      Yes, retail or any type of hospitality. I worked in coffee shops and pubs for years and wow some of the people I had to deal with were nuts. It really does test your patience but makes me so much more appreciative of people who work in these positions and I try my best to be extra kind to them

    You should sell the lightsaber end pieces for $15.
    Customer: "How much for a lightsaber?"
    Cast Member: "Single is $30, double is $45!"
    Customer: "Great, I'll build a double, then I'll have two lightsabers! Oh wait, one isn't complete, but it's a great deal....Hmm. Okay, how much for this small piece?"
    CM: "$15."
    C: "Yeah... but... I mean... wait, really?"
    CM: "Yep. Basically adds up to the cost of two lightsabers."
    C: "That's not fair!"
    CM: "I'm pretty sure the pricing is the very definition of fair, sir."

    For goodness sake guys! You’re visiting one of most the happiest and magical places in the world! BE HAPPY!!! I’d certainly be very grateful visiting Disney World on holiday and be very happy that the cast members are doing an awesome job to make my visit a happy and magical one. Getting angry over pathetic little things is just not worth it.

    I’m applying for the dcp next year, did you like merchandise? How long were your shifts? And how many breaks did u get?

    • @emilyswanderland
      @emilyswanderland  6 років тому +2

      Rachel E I loved Merch! Super fun and I made a whole video about my experience with it :) shifts ranged from 6-12 hours and you get different breaks depending on the shift e.g. an 8 hour you’d get a 15 min and a 30 min. Hope that helps! :)

  • @princessUSA2
    @princessUSA2 5 років тому +3

    I feel like the "we can only sell you 10" policy IS kind of stupid because they could very well turn around and sell the 10 on Ebay too and just have other people they know keep coming to the store and buying more and more. Even if they dont do that and just sell the 10 on Ebay, sure its less money than they would get if they sold more than that, but they are still going to sell for a lot and the Ebay problem will continue to exist. And for Disney to also turn away money, as much as I love Disney, that's also surprising lol. Btw, the ride story was really, really cute=) I'm glad you could do that for that little girl=)

    • @meganproffitt424
      @meganproffitt424 4 роки тому

      Well she also stated in the video that there is a part of the droid that the cast members 'snap' when they sell it to you to prevent it from being sold online (this apparently takes the product out of mint condition).

      @larascrazylife12 5 років тому

      I don't really think he was a collector, especially how he reacted when she closed the cases or when they told him that they could track the droids.

  • @hannahrosereviews5073
    @hannahrosereviews5073 6 років тому +6

    Lol! Those negative guest interactions you talked about aren't just at Disney. They're everywhere if you work in the customer service industry.

  • @PrinceofMacedonVlogs
    @PrinceofMacedonVlogs 4 роки тому +1

    for the guy buying more than 10 droids...couldn't he just buy 5 droids initially? And then come back later, and buy 5 more? And a little bit later, buy another 5?

    I didnt expect her to have an accent (Im American from Florida so she has an accent to me) so when I pressed play on the video I took a sip of my tea and heard it and was like Oh wOw thAtS prettyyy but it suprised me and I got excited because I love her accent and thought it was pretty but I didnt expect to be made overly happy by this video so I choked on my tea in suprise

    The lightsaber thing happened to me the other way around. Back in 2010 I was at a Disney Store near the Lego Store at Disney Springs and was just taking a look at the lightsabers, didn't want to buy or anything, then a cast member comes by and starts building it for me and was like "see? it's this way" and I was just awkwardly looking at her. I was 16 at the time and didn't speak English quite well back then, cause I'm Brazilian.

  • @hjfox1
    @hjfox1 5 років тому +1

    The light sabre thing is a rip off. Why can't Disney just sell him a bloody piece? Crazy!

    • @eclipsehorse8693
      @eclipsehorse8693 5 років тому +1

      Im guessing there is no individual SKU for each piece. Having been there at the park and having seen the display in question, I can almost guarantee those bins are refilled with bags of replacement parts that are not designed to be sold individually. It's not that Disney can't sell an individual piece, they just don't have a per unit price for them or a way to account for their sale. The whole idea is to buy the whole thing, and the sum of all the parts you choose factors into one fixed price.

    Good video but speaking a collector whenever I buy anything I do one in mint condition personally don't collect Star Wars stuff but I do know that that stuff does sell for alot especially outside the US so i kinda understand where he is coming from

    • @emilyswanderland
      @emilyswanderland  6 років тому +10

      I get that but Disney has the limitation policy to prevent people buying just for the purpose of selling and therefore making money off the company
