Bear with me, I just want to rant for a moment. I went to the Studios today because of ESPN The Weekend and had a great day overall. Now there was one thing that really annoyed me and if it weren't for the fact that there were alot of kids around, I might have let the CM know that I thought they were out of line and I know my wife would have too. Here's what happened:
We were waiting for our priority seating time at Sci-Fi Dine-In and since we had over a half hour, the kids decided they wanted to go to the HISTK play area. They were running around and having fun when we got over to one area that a CM was standing around. Being the friendly sort my wife and I said hello and then let our daughter know that we would be going soon to the restaurant. Now, my daughter likes to pick out her clothes for the day and today she decided to wear something that had technically been part of her last Halloween costume. She had wanted to be Hermione from Harry Potter so she had a nice grey skirt, a nice button down shirt and a grey vest. That was what she chose to wear today, but on her feet she went with a new pair of aqua socks that she had just gotten, which happened to be a bright pink making for an interesting contrast in her outfit. It was kinda cute, really. So the CM, who I can only describe as looking like a female Napolean Dynamite due to similar facial features, especially in the mouth, says in a snarky manner "She's wearing a Catholic Schoolgirl Uniform?" We think nothing of it and say to her "Yeah, our daughter likes to pick out what she wears and she liked that outfit." We explained her Halloween costume from last year and that she liked the clothes so much, that she wears them from time to time. At this, the CM said in a still snarky manner "Well then why is she wearing pink shoes with it?" I told the CM that they were new and she felt the were very comfortable and she likes them, so that was what she chose to wear. The CM actually started looking annoyed and said with an attitude "But that doesn't match. Why would she pick something that doesn't match?" And our response was, "Because that's what she wanted to wear and it makes her happy. Nothing else should matter." I then got the kids together and left to go to lunch. It wasn't so much that she was asking about what my daughter chose to wear, but more the attitude with which she asked about it, as if it was a personal insult to her. I just felt that if she was going to act like that, it would have been better to just not say anything. I actually refrained from saying something to her along the lines of "You should be careful what you say to people. You never know who might be an off duty manager here." If I had, it might have made her think about what she says or how she says it in the future, but if an actual manager was around they might have gotten ticked, so that's why I didn't.
