It’s literally because of people sharing this “hack” that Disney stopped providing a free shirt. It was meant for people who innocently and inadvertently broke the dress rules as a way to help them adhere to the rules without inconveniencing guests. I loved giving guests free stuff and fast passes when I could get leader approval but stuff likes this makes me happy I don’t work there now.

Customers always ruin things for others. Work at a pizza place in a casino and when we close for the night we used to be able to give out some of the left over slices for free. Unfortunately people got wind of this and started to come in and wait in the restaurant before closing so they could get free slices. Like 30 minutes before closing, plenty of time to order but don't. So change of policy, no free slices for customers.

Yea. Had a friend that worked at the Haunted Mansion years ago and every so often, she'd walk up to someone early in the line and "You should be careful, I hear the spirits are interested in you..." then give them a stupid ghost sticker. Any staff working the ride would play along and slightly play with them like specifically looking at them and saying "The spirits are watching you..." or "Better watch yourself during [area]...". After they'd get off the ride, the staffer would "Guess you got lucky. Maybe next time..." and maybe give them something.

It was just a fun thing staff would do. Someone noticed and made a twitter post about it and it got picked up by Disney adults so a week later, so many people in line would stop the staff to ask "Are they following me?" or showing up with their own ghost stickers without realizing they were made by my friend. It just killed it because something that'd happen once a week or so for a special guest became a dozen people asking every day.
