This (supposedly) being my last week in vending at Disneyland,(I still haven't received my training schedule for attractions next week.) I figured I'd share a few things with you, to help you when buying things at the park.

-- Churros carts do not sell ice cream, popcorn carts do not sell churros, everything that a cart sells is either on display or written on the cart, if you don't see it, I don't sell it, and don't go opening my drink cart to check, I'm not lying to you.

-- If I'm doing the math for your purchase in my head and handing you change out of an apron, then I do not take credit cards, I only have one place to swipe them, and you're not going to want them back after I'm done.

-- I know everything is overpriced at the park, you don't need to tell me that $3 for a bottle of water is expensive, I sell a hundred of them a day, I know how much they cost. And no, it isn't highway robbery, theres no freeway in Disneyland.

-- Don't take stuff off my displays, it's a display for a reason, so people can see what I have, ask me for what you want and I'll get it.

-- You have no business being behind my cart for any reason. I don't care if you're taking a picture or you need to get out of line to go to the restroom, walk around. I don't go to your work place and wander around behind your desk, so stay out from behind my counter. Same goes for your kids, I don't look for kids when I'm walking around back there, so unless you want them stepped on, watch where the hell they're going instead of expecting everyone else to.

-- there are dozens of places to eat all over both parks, open your damn eyes and look around instead of asking vague questions like, "Hey, is there a place to eat around here?" Instead, try, "Hey, where can I get a burger around here," or, "Hey, where do people keep getting those bread bowls with the clam chowder in them?" If you ask me a stupid question I am going to look at you like your an idiot for a second before trying to answer your dumb ass question in a way you might understand.

-- If you're waiting in my line for more than two minutes and are there with twenty kids, It's kinda stupid to wait till you get to the front of the line to say, "Oh, hey, who wants a churro?"

-- It's not cute to have your three year old order or pay for you, they're hard to understand and they can't handle money very well, you're the adult, do some work. Also, don't pick them up and show them the display and ask them what they want, they're three god damn years old, they either want all of it or none of it, and it's gonna take forever to get them to pick one, you're the parent, you get to decide for them.

Now, maybe in six months I'll post a guide to not pissing off Jungle Cruise skippers.

Edit. I added two more, and I found out today that I start on Indiana Jones on the 25th.
