I find the need to agree with the subtle "cheerleader bashing". It was 2005, my fiancée and I were CM's in Tomorrowland and we decided to go to PI one night after work for a few drinks, laughs and dancing. We stopped into 8Trax, our favorite club, and were standing on the "2nd" level having our drinks and waiting for the club to fill up before we made our way to the dance floor. The DJ started to play a great song so we decided, what the heck lets go dance. As we were on the dance floor for a few more songs in came the cheerleaders with their chaperones. I use that term loosely because they were distracted by other goings on in the club. Anyway as we were dancing these obnoxious girls were running all around, screaming, and constantly bumping into my fiancée. I asked her if she wanted me to say something and she said to let it go seeing as how we can come here whenever we want and what not, so I let it go. But it didn't stop it just got worse. Finally I went up to one of the girls and asked them just to cool it down a little and watch for others around you. The response I got? "F-off loser!" WOW! My fiancée and I were shocked and I could see my fiancée getting redder and redder. Finally we spoke to one of the chaperones and got the "I'm better than you" look. We eventually left and went to the BET Soundstage just to go in a place that was 21+. We stayed there for about an hour or so and went back to 8Trax they were gone.
Hopefully with the 21+-age restriction at the clubs this problem won't be seen anymore. On the other hand while working in the parks I did meet some nice squads and chaperones. The ones who were nice were NICE. Well mannered, smiling, just glad to be in Disney World. When I would work COP I would talk to the squads that were from NJ, my home state.
I guess its just luck of the draw. The best thing to do is not judge them too quickly. I know I always feel bad after thinking people are "trouble" when they turn out to be the nicest people in the world.
