1.) The Dis is what can be reffered to as a representative sample... you know like you use in marketing studies (You don't really think they ask every person on the planet how they feel about something do you? Of course not)
not to mention that if this was't a popular concept grab bags wouldn't be so darn popular... and the mystery pin is actually better then a grab bag, because you can't usually trade a grab bag for something else if it sucks.
Let's look at the question of policy logically shall we? Hmm there are a lot of CMs doing it, if it was agaisnt policy these CMs would get fired... then nobody else would do it because nobody is going to lose their job over something like this... logically it stands to reason that folks are not putting their jobs on the line in this economy over a stupid mystery pin.
Next please don't speak to me of respect. You have taken it upon yourself to start a crusade against something that you don't like - because you don't like it. No matter how many other people you may deprive of joy if they lose this simple pleasure. You want your own way - and could care less about anyone else. I don't call that respect.
You can't seem to make up your mind when it is and isn't ok to break the rules, the only litmus I can see by your way of thinking is it's only ok if it makes
you as an indiviual happy, regardless of the joy it brings to anyone else. If it doesn't make you happy, who cares about anyone else it's gotta be wrong right?
I fail to understand why you feel the need to take it upon yourself to deprive others of something they love simply because you don't like it. What would happen if I decided that CM was wrong from taking that pin from the little girl? And I reported that CM, and then I decided that it was unfair that any child should get special treatment because I'm an adult and that's not fair... so I started reporting every CM I saw do something nice for a child... what would you think of me then?
If your claim is that what is important is making guests happy, then shouldn't a CM take into consideration that doing what would be considered cheating in this game by other guests, whether it's offical policy or not, might make more guests unhappy then the
one (In this case you) guest who wants him to "cheat"?
In other words should a CM choose to make one guest happy over all the others?
If you don't like this game - don't play it.
If you are just pissed off because you didn't get your way - and you don't like that, be a man and say it. At least being honest about it would show some guts.
I'll try to answer your questions.
1) I don't believe they make the majority happy. Disboards are not the majority
If it is against their policy they should not do it. Even if they want to do it for the ones it makes happy, so be it. For the ones it upsets, they should not. Easy as pie
Everyone is happy and nobody loses.
* For you office fans (tv show), it is a win-win-win LOL.
2) It is not cheating if it is against Disney policy (which they told me it was). Honestly, I don't know who is who on this board. I will be respectful of everyone. But I believe the person I spoke to in City Hall was working for Disney, not people on here (not doubting that you do).
3) If it is against Disney policy, they are not doing their job. So it would not be silly. Remember, I was asked by DISNEY to turn these guys in.
