I feel like I need to vent here.
On Sunday, I was at the CR, and in a rush. Some guy in front of me at the coffee bar was chit chatting and making small talk with the barista. I mean really, the barista is there to work, right? Not to make guests have to unnecessarily wait for their espresso shot, or to provide any level of customer service. I was this close to getting a manager to come over and explain to the barista and patron that I am a paying customer, and its hard enough to get food at WDW as it is, talking with guests is really not efficient. I mean really, how long should it take to make a couple of teas?
It reminds me, last May when I was at the CR my son wanted to eat at Chef Mickeys. I cant believe that they wouldnt accommodate us because we didnt have a reservation. Does Disney even realize how much I was paying to stay at the CR? Its ridiculous. To add insult to injury, this other family was only there waiting for 5 minutes and they were seated. Regardless of them having an ADR, I was offended that they got seated. I cant believe the 'kind of people' Disney is letting in these days. Then security had the nerve to escort me and my family, as a paying guest, away from the podium.
I have had similar problems getting tables at the Grand Floridian café as well. I mean, if I am staying at the Grand Floridian, they should be able to seat me at any time in the GF Café. There were some people there, I think they were Townies or Cutters, looking at me as I was trying to get seated and looking at me like I had two heads.
Lastly, about a year ago I was staying at POP century. All I wanted was some coffee. There was some person and their daughter taking way too long to pour a cup of coffee so I had to reach over the girls head and pour the coffee. I was thinking to myself, if this girl moves and bumps me, I might spill this hot coffee on her, but it would be her fault and she would deserve it. The person seemed to have some issue with me, and glared at me in disbelief, like it was me that was doing something wrong. I told them you're taking too long and I'm sick of waiting. The person said something like is it worth scalding a little girl just to get coffee, that was about it, I lost it and told them to F#%@! Off!.
I mean really .can you believe some people? I just want my food. Sorry for the vent.

out of me on that one. Thanks. I haven't smiled yet today. It could have something to do with that I haven't had my shot of expresso yet.
