he said this to my face.. LOOK DUDE>. this is how it is.. and his manager was standing right there.. AND when I called the next day to speak to a manager .. THIS SAME GUY ANSWERED THE PHONE>. obviously it was okay by the manager..He thought this would get a sale???? I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
I don't know what you said to create the need for the response, so I'll not pass judgement on that. Dude is not a rude or odd way of discussing things with others, maybe not in everyone culture, but it surely shouldn't be offensive unless, of course, you were looking for some reason to be offended. We have all got to lighten up and grow a little thicker skin or at least be able to tell the difference between a slang usage and and insult.he said this to my face..

"Excuse me, carbon based life form, please stand to the side!"
Wouldn't that actually be OVER inclusion?That would violate the new 5th element thing about inclusion.
Sad but true, no guest no job.Anyone who spent the money to come is automatically a friend to the CMs who still have a job!
Has anyone else that has visited the parks recently noticed CMs referring to you/your party as "friends"? This has happened the last 2 days at Animal Kingdom numerous times from interactions from entrance to exit. For example buying food, exiting rides, visiting gift shops, and just strolling down the walkways. Wondering if this is a new protocol or if it was a happy coincidence, either way I liked it. In my opinion it good without being overly sweet.
Sounds like a Senator talking about his colleague in the opposite party. "And may I say that my good friend from (State) is a complete a-hole."
I hope you're outraged."My pleasure ". Is it really?

There might be a tad bit of difference between a guest at a theme park and criminals, but nice try. And OMG are we now arguing about simple friendly greetings or would everyone prefer, "hey, crap head, get a move on we have rides to get in motion." Seriously this country is absolutely bat crap crazy and everyone no matter what their belief is getting offended by anything said to them. That probably comes from people not dealing with actual people anymore. We have forgotten how to communicate and what is offensive and what is friendly. This is so sad.So a prison officer should love all the rapists, murderers and thieves etc using that logic? Without these criminals, he'd be out of his current job
How on earth is addressing someone as “friend”—about as traditional and polite a salutation as there is—woke?It is a part of the new inclusivity that Disney is stretching hard to conform to. It’s very woke and super cringy. Almost like Chick-fil-a using “my pleasure” instead of you’re welcome. Again, super cringy.
It isn’t something they’re trying to conform to, it’s a top priority of the company, and one they’ve publicly said they are unapologetic about.It is a part of the new inclusivity that Disney is stretching hard to conform to.

It baffles me that some automatically regard inclusive language as intrinsically bad and newfangled, even when, as in this instance, the word in question is a rather quaint (if uncommon) way of greeting people in English.It isn’t something they’re trying to conform to, it’s a top priority of the company, and one they’ve publicly said they are unapologetic about.
