Loooking for Lobster....

I have gotten very confused -- are you still able to order twin lobster tails on the DDP?

I asked the same question. The server never mentioned belligerent or abusive guests. It was just a decision entirely made by management -- and management decisions don't always make sense.

However, generally, they do, even when we wish they didn't!

As of right now, yes. The menu I linked to in the above post is the most current Cap'n Jack's menu, posted by a CM server there, and it has the twin lobster tails on it. What is not on the DDP, and evidently not listed on the menu anymore is the "add-a-tail" option. This was an additional lobster tail, menu priced at $12, that DDP guests were previously allowed to add to their meal at no additional charge. This is no longer the case. My understanding is that although it is no longer on the menu, you can request to have the additional lobster tail, but must pay for it OOP.

However, generally, they do, even when we wish they didn't!

Management decisions always make sense? Just checked the Magic 8 Ball: "My sources say no." Based solely on my own experiences -- and I am employed neither by Disney nor any affiliated company.

Read it again.

Time for Katie to head to the optometrist.



Seriously, it's all a matter of Occum's Razor. Which is the simpler explanation? Too many people rely too much on "someone else is stupid or careless" when things don't go their way, when in reality things are generally done because someone decides that that's the RIGHT way to do it, based on their objectives. (Let's see if someone else can misread the word "generally" now. )

Naw, I read it just fine I went with my "don't always" rather than your "generally", but I did debate the wording on that. I've thought about it, and yep, management's decisions generally do make sense -- because the vast majority of decisions made by management are either unnoticeable or don't directly affect my job. The decisions I and my co-workers actually notice are the incredibly stupid decisions, made by people who don't really understand what our jobs entail, and couldn't do our jobs for even an hour if they tried. We deal with those bad decisions every single day, try to get it noted for the record that we object, and why we object, then just do our best until they figure out for themselves that it was a bad decision and change policy. Some of those decisions are astonishingly bad, but I can't/won't discuss specifics in a public forum (for obvious reasons)...annnnnnnnnd...we've gotten a bit off the topic of lobster, or the lack thereof, at WDW.

So...as far as the add-a-tail being removed from the menu...I did ask the CM why it would be removed instead of just noted on the menu as an exclusion from the DDP, like the rotisserie chicken at Tangierine or the sushi at Wolfgang Puck's. The CM didn't know why, and I believe he did say the employees had asked management to do that instead of removing the option from the menu entirely. It's a very popular item and the specialty of the house there, probably a lot of people, both on and off the DDP would pay for it OOP, so who knows why they chose to remove it? He did also indicate that it's still available, you just have to ask for it and be willing to pay OOP.

Okay, but then you should argue that point with yourself, not me, eh?

Which sounds incredibly reasonable.
