Above and beyond
Since I just posted a rant about folks who can't/won't do their fucking jobs, I just wanted to post this about hotel workers who went through the rubbish to recover some guest's lost shit.
"While tidying up their villa as they prepared to leave the park late last week, Paul Campanale dumped a cardboard bowl, not knowing the container inside it held his wife Karen's engagement, wedding and five-year-anniversary rings.
Park employees warned the couple from Worcester, Mass., that recovering the jewelry was all but impossible. So on Friday, the Campanales and their two children loaded onto a Magical Express bus and headed to the airport.
Back at the Wilderness Lodge resort, executive housekeeper Drew Weaver realized that trash from the Campanales' villa hadn't reached the industrial-size compactor yet. He and seven other volunteers donned protective clothing, emptied a parking lot bin and waded through bag after bag of rubbish to find the rings. And they did."
I'm a bit perturbed that there were no gushing thank yous reported from Mrs I'm-A-Daft-Shithead, but perhaps they simply omitted it.
Kudos to these folks from the Wilderness Lodge at Disney. Good on yer!
Say ... why aren't you all over on my forums posting pics of your ass? I wanna seeeeeeee!
We just added the new Blackadder section, as well! Come tell us your latest cunning plan.

Seriously - for as other-worldly and creepy Disney can be, they run a really grand operation down there. This story doesn't really surprise me.
You really don't want a picture of my ass, right?
being as it happened at Disney, I'm not surprised that they paid enough attention to realize the bags were still searchable, and did the search. Disney may have all sorts of negative commercial aspects, but at the parks,the employees really do go the extra mile, and then a little further, if need be to make people happy.
Even shitheads who put valuable jewelry in the garbage.
