My latest Disney Store experience

I should preface this by saying that I was wearing my "100 Years of Creating The Magic" Castmember t-shirt from WDW" .... You would expect that I would get the royal Disney treatment, right? Wrong! The two CM's on the floor were both standing at the cashwrap. One was ringing up a guest (slowly I might add) and the other was just gabbing, and talking on the phone.
.........
Then I thought that maybe nobody recognized me by what I was carrying because the stores don't carry WDCC anymore, and the castmembers might not know what WDCC is. But the t-shirt, c'mon.


PLEASE! Just because you wear a CM T-shirt you expect to get the Royal Disney Treatment? Anyone who goes on ebay can get those too you know - it doesn't mean you're a CM or former CM.
When I go into the stores, I don't expect special treatment just because I am a former CM. When I was a CM I NEVER treated a CM any different than I treated a guest (which was with the utmost respect and kindness) because everyone was given pixie dust and disney magic equally. It was a pleasure helping everyone!

OK, this has gone on long enough. There has been a lot of assumptions made, and many of them aren't polite. Someone reporting an experience shouldn't be assumed to be virulently against Disney. I think a lot of people have pointed out that DS Customer Service can vary quite a bit, but seems to be mostly good.

Since many of you have devolved into name-calling, I'm closing this thread.
