I really hate Cell Phones on park and according to protocol cell phones are supposed to be left in break rooms unless you are part of safety or management.  They break theme so much and make guests feel like you are not approachable.  If you see employees on their cell phones report them, this can be a major safety issue too.

well that makes more sense.  to leave them in the break room or their locker..  I should have realized phones were not "allowed" in the park. :D

The phone issue has been going on for some time. I wrote a letter about it to the park and they responded that they were strictly forbidden with employees on park.  I think that is patronising after what I have seen and what has been reported since the receipt of the letter.
I don't think it matters as much to these folks.
They don't know ( or don't have enough sense to care) where they come from.
It seems like the park has lost its leaders........

Disappointing to see all these comments about employee cell phone use. The fellow in the street troupe especially is sad, using that phone openly on the town square. NOT IN MISS MARY'S TIME!

I am a teacher, and I cannot just whip out a cell phone in the middle of the day. I really think that anyone at "work" should not be on a phone. It is unprofessional in whatever area you are in, not just a period correct theme park. I really think that the kids (and many 20 somethings) of today depend too much upon the instant technology at their fingertips. I recently got a "smart" phone against my will, and I do in fact use it, but not during my job!

For basic use, "What are you doing tonight?", I agree, make sure you're not in public sight.  However, for emergencies, ALL employees should have one tucked away.  Not everybody has quick access to a walkie talkie.  Case in point, a stroller got away from a non English speaking guest, and when the baby's head met a picnic table, an employee recognized me & asked me to call for help...

okay so this kinda goes under what job would you want but also kinda in here so here goes

I wan to be an SDC Ninja Spy who goes around all secret like with fancy cameras taking pictures of "cell phone workers" and "Not in Miss Marys Time items" and report back to head quarters to get the above items fixed.

ninja spy!  great idea...

I am NOT a teacher, but firmly believe the kids need to leave the phones in the loccker from 1st bell to last bell..  I am sure it is hard enopugh teaching them something anyhow, without phone distractions.  IMHO. ::)

Morse Code...Ha!  ;    2x!

For EMERGENCY use, cell phones are OK by employees on park. But don't contact Joe at American Plunge while he's loading guests in and out of the boats to tell him where the kegger is tonight. Don't call Sally at Cowboy Jepp's while she's working the cash regsiter to ask her if she wants to go to dinner tonight.
