Make sure you get 1 virtual queue ticket each if you both plan on going down, and it's busy. ahh right, thanks!! just so i know!! so when we get in ill make sure he picks up a vt aswel for the guest when i do! so he can wait in line with me.

Moderators DavidB Posted November 11, 2007 Moderators Share Posted November 11, 2007 Yeah that's fine There should be clear signs up about 'no posed photos' or whatever, so you don't have to worry about asking and them saying yes/no .. you should know before you get to the guest if it's ok.

Moderators DavidB Posted November 11, 2007 Moderators Share Posted November 11, 2007 Well some people are cheeky enough to ask anyway There's not a whole lot you can do - sometimes the guest will just say no, and sometimes they'll say yes because they don't want to seem rude. I don't really agree with people asking when it's clearly stated NO, as it's a bit embarassing to the guest, but it does happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krypto Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 i think you can generally tell aswell when you speak to a guest whether they would be awright with you havin a photo, usually if there really talkative and there isnt too much of a que there fine with you having a photo with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teabelly83 Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 ah right yes iwas just wondering really. bcois i did find it weird seeing pics of ppl meeting guests and noticing a sign behind them saying no posed pics then seeing them with the guest leant over the table smiling for a pic. weird. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted November 11, 2007 Moderators Share Posted November 11, 2007 Most just don't want to seem rude by saying no, which is why we try to put the signs up - it stops the embarassing situation of someone asking and being told no. Of course we can't stop anyone asking if they decide to ignore it, but that's how it goes. You should be able to see what other people are doing in front of you, and if they're posing etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
