Also this year the new Funcentive Rewards program gives associates points for GR compliments. If you really wow someone then you'll get an extra 250 points (I think, check in the Star News) for it. There are two downsides to this that I can see already, people will compliment their buddies when they go to the park (this probably can't be avoided) and those of us in GR have little or no chance of getting the same compliments. We'll handle situations all day and not even get a simple thank you but we'll spend more time entering reports for the rest of the park. Now of course it's early in the season and this may not be true down the line, but I've got a feeling that we'll get to enter a BUNCH more this year than last year regardless.
