One.....Two.......Three.........Too Many To Count

Post by DLRFantasmic!Dan » Mon Oct 24, 2005 9:14 pm

How many out there have CMs at their location with more then one name??

For example, we have about 4 "Bobs" at HISTA/ Astro. There is Bob, whom we call "Bob Classic", another one who goes by the name, "The Bob", a third one who is "Bob", but is actually is a Robert, same thing, and the last "Bob" is also a "Robert", whom is nicknamed "The Hobbit", because he looks like a Hobbit, but he is gone now, termed during is probational period.


Attractions:
Rocket Scientist at "HISTA"/ Astro Orbitor,
Space Ranger at Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters

Hee - when I was a rookie in merchandise my old department had a Beth, a Beth Marie, a Rose Marie, a Rosemary, a Rose and a Mary. And for some reason, one of the old lady clerks kept calling our one Becky Beth and Beth Becky...Becky was blonde. Beth was a redhead... :cool:

About four years ago there were three of us with the same name working the
same attraction on New Years Eve. It was absolutely freaky.


If you ever stop and ask yourself: "How do they dress themselves?"
Congratulations and welcome to my world.

look at it this way, at least guest concerns are harder to pin on any of you...

Good point!
At the company I concierge for we have 5 different Lindas. There are only about 40 people that work for the whole company. The bosses made a joke that they were going to put an ad in the paper stating "Now hiring Lindas!"


Guest: What time does the park close?
Me: 5 minutes ago.
Guest: Are there any rides still open?
Me: No, the park's closed.
Guest: So, there's no rides still open?

I'm so glad I'm just seasonal!!! :rolleyes:

Happened to me, there were 3 of us who had my name. Came looking for the other one, when it was really me.

We used to have 3 people with my name at Strollers plus about 3 or 4 Jennifers. I still remember the day when the entire day's crew for DCA Package Express was either my name or Jennifer.

And then there was the guy from Security who had the same first and last name as I do. It was creepy when I finally met him because he said that he had been pulling up my picture in the computer. When LP finally did a criminal background check on me about a year after I originally hired in, they sent me a copy with my name and address but the other guy's SSN and criminal record (don't worry, it was clean).

There was also a time when two out of our three managers at Strollers were named Jeff.

That sounds rrreeeaaallly confusing!

I'm the only Zazu in my department, but I once worked in an office of about 12 people where 5 of us were all named Zazu. Made for some interesting phone calls.

"Hello, may I speak to Zazu?"
"No, Zazu is on vacation. Also, Zazu is on a business trip to Porterville, Zazu is off on Tuesdays, and Zazu ... well, he's technically still on the payroll, but we haven't seen him in over a month now."
"So who *can* help me?"
"I can probably help you."
"Who are you?"
"Zazu...."
"ARRGGGHHHH!!!!!"

I used to *love* taking those calls! :twisted:
