CRO: Mad, angry, upset, violated, cheated...

[GAIL HAYDEN]

macs4us,
I am going to say this in the nicest way I know how and to give a different perspective and not flame anyone (and.......that is a biggie for me ).
First, I am very sorry you feel offended, I am sure that was not the intent with all this levity. You are right, it never hurts to ask for a discount or an upgrade.......however, to expect someone to look through a myriad of discounts is IMHO uncalled for, there is customer service and there is silliness. There is a limit. It is up to the person trying to book a ressie to do their homework.

It is really difficult for some people to post here due to the fear of being flamed, and while I would hope that is not what the original poster would intend, "jokes" like this often breed contempt for others. I agree being rude to anyone is not appropriate - be it CRO or posters on this board.

For me, levity relieves the contempt. I believe contempt is bred on its own.

I have no problem with people venting, however, I don't take it to heart as I have not heard but one person's interpertation of the events. I am not calling those people liars, not in the least, but, without hearing both side of a conversation you have no way to make an assessment on who heard what, or.....who misheard what.

This is JMHO and I hope I did not hurt your feelings.

Now that I'm back in my chair, this is too funny. Are you related to the infamous Peter Pirate?

Can you get $199 at GF concierge?

 

[Wish Upon A Star]

Apparently it seems that Peter has been giving out my toll-free number . . .maybe I should charge a fee? Hmmmm with all the money I'll be making off my toll-free hotline . . .doing the GF Conceirge won't be that bad!



Ahhhhhhhhhhh finally some entertainment

The wrong phone number? Well, maybe... it was either that or 1-800-Bah-haha (ext. haha)...

But the good news is I've heard Pete is in talks with Miss Cleo in hopes of procuring daily readings to tell DIS'ers what CRO has in store for them each day...Could be ground breaking!

Ditto, Macs4us. I had hoped that this would stay a board to share info about resorts. I hope there aren't people out there that will read this thread and be afraid post a legitimate question about discounts, upgrades, etc. because they think they will be ridiculed for it.

ask her if I'm going to get those Cindy's PS for tomorrow. I wasted one day of my weekend already. If I'm not going to get them, I'm just going to sleep in!

gepetto,
I would hope with all the smiles and other happy little codes that people are putting out there, and the true humor of this thread, that people would realize it is all in fun. Not one name has been mentioned nor have any fingers been pointed.
You all have to lighten up a little, this is the DIS and it is supposed to be fun.

 

[gepetto]

IMHO, I just don't think this is the right board for it. Just because no one has been named specifically dosen't mean it's not making fun of people that post here.

 

[Peter Pirate]

Where should I have gone to address a Resort Board specific problem? Sorry, if you don't see it that way, but I flamed no one, had no one in particular in mind in writing this & humorosly tried to remind people of a very, very bad trend here on the Resort board...

Miss Cleo told me to do it!

 

[WebmasterAlex]

Even a "serious" board can use some humor once in a while and this WAS funny. It also didn't attack anyone directly. Everyone, and I am sure that includes Peter LIKES getting a discount. His obvious exageration was just to point out that some people expect a little much. I don't see where it will keep anybody from posting legitimate questions so lets all laugh and move on....

 

[gepetto]

I remember a topic recently about extremely long hold times with CRO....how would the person who posted that feel if they read this....

So, I then asked to speak to a supervisor. After waiting for a full one minute and 22 seconds, that I was paying for, I was really fuming!

There were also posts by people looking for discounts Easter week and by people with bad experiences with CRO. I think they should be able to post here without being made fun of.

 

[gepetto]

ok...moving on

Thanks, Pirate, for the big laugh! I know I"VE probably sounded like that at least once--I'm so ashamed!

It is amazing what you see when someone else holds that mirror up to your face!!!!

 

[Geoff_M]

Bravo Peter!!! Nothing to be admonished for. I don't think for a second it will give anyone pause about posting questions here.

 

[hvsteve1]

Peter sounds like a CM bouncing back some of his own experiences.

 

[Humpbacks1962]

GAWD! I can hardly type... Thanks for the chuckle, guys

You had me going for quite a while...until you got to the mother's, cousin's & etc. thing.

I feel like that I my work sometime. I'm an RN and one patient complained because she got an injection & it hurt!

I trust that you really were not that way on the phone, cause if you were you are setting a bad explain for your family and friends. Maybe some one some how got a great rate at a resort, but that does not justify your behavior. Yes you should be treated with proper manners, but remember it is a two way street.
