Ooooh that sounds like so much fun! Too bad you couldn't get into the costuming, but I'm glad you've got the chance to do the program all the same. And whooo UCR! My sister is graduating from there this year :)

Retail is never magical...

There is magic! I swear there is! It just get trampled on, kicked, punched and yelled at all day.

But really, we attempt to have some form of magic there, but at times it ends up changing from magic to....I don't even know what to call it. Case in point, I had a guest with a black AmEx card (the one where you gotta spend like 500k+ a year or something to get) and he made this whole drama about me seeing his ID. I finally got to see it and then I asked him for his autograph/signature.

him: exucse me. what did you say
me: ...I need your autograph for your purchase?
him: You already saw my id, what do you expect me to write on there.
me: Goofy.
him: excuse me, why would I write that?!
me: :3 Because you're being so Goofy right now, you have to be Goofy right! :3!!!!!
him: . ...
wife: ......*just starts laughing*
him: *sigh*

He ended up signing it as Goofy. He came back later around midnight and apologized yet said I had apparently made his day by calling him Goofy. People are weird.

Yeah people make really weird stinks about really weird things -- like seeing their ID or having them sign things (especially, in my line of work, when you sell them the wrong tickets by accident and then promise them that YES GUEST SERVICES WILL RETURN THE TICKETS AND GET YOU THE RIGHT ONES).

I like those black Amex cards. They're metal and really cool-looking. And then when the person is like "give me all the deals possible you can on tickets" it's like "Dude, you've got a spending limit that is through the roof. You can deal without getting 10% off your tickets."

I like the amex cards as well, they're probably meant to last a few yeas/decade unlike the plastic ones everyone has.

We have a promo right now that between 9am and 12:30 PM you can get 20% your purchase with this receipt from buying food.

No. one. can. tell. time.

It'll be 10pm at night and we'll get screamed at because 'HOW DARE YOU NOT LET ME USE THIS COUPON ITS NOT 12:30 YET' and then we have to explain BASIC TIME AND HOW IT WORKS. Ugh. What complicates it is that on our registers, since they're touch screen and on the front there's a button for the discount. Right when the clock is 12:31, it disappears. We have to call a lead/manager over to deal with the EXTREMELY DISTRAUGHT LET'S MAKE A SCENE TO GET WHAT WE WANT guests.

What sucks the most is the costumes, why you might ask? Resort wide we are sold out of Rapunzel's dress unless girls can fit an XXXS. It's so sad to see little girl get all sad. >:

Great job on UC Riverside! ♥

And I'm really glad you like Disney better than your other 4 million jobs.
