Niles: Why saying ‘no’ is important for Disneyland

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:20:14 GMT

Here is a word that needs to be heard more often at Disneyland and other theme parks across the country and around the world.No.As a leader in the hospitality business, Disneyland is not in the business of saying “no” to its customers. When I went through my “Disney University” training before starting in the parks at the Walt Disney World Resort, I was taught to avoid the word. If something was not possible to deliver for a guest, hospitality training instructs to offer some alternative rather than just refusing.That is a great idea for serving an individual customer, but good customer service is a collective act as well as an individual one. What you choose to do — or more to the point, ignore — for one guest can affect the experience for others.Last week, I spent the day at Disney California Adventure. As I often do, I visited alone, so I took advantage of the many single rider queues in the park to lessen my wait times. Single rider queues are one of those features that looks li...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:20:14 GMT

LOS ANGELES — Jordan Poole sat in a folding chair facing the inside of his locker with his back turned to the center of the cramped visitors locker room at Crypto.com Arena.He didn’t want to talk much after the Warriors’ 104-101 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.“I don’t got nothing for y’all,” he said as music blared from his iPhone.Poole, a key piece to last year’s improbable championship run, has had a rough go this time around in the playoffs and he’s provided little answers as to why, mainly because he’s also said he’s stumped by what’s going on.Monday wasn’t Poole’s night, but neither was Saturday or Thursday and some other games before that. Poole played his way into a nine-figure extension last offseason by stepping up big when Stephen Curry was injured and being a dependable sixth man on a championship team. But he hasn’t been able to replicate that on a consistent basis this year. What&#...

By Edwin Chan | BloombergMicrosoft Corp.’s LinkedIn plans to shut its jobs app in China and cut about 716 jobs, as the US professional networking service further shrinks its presence in the world’s No. 2 economy.LinkedIn, citing intense competition, will phase out the InCareer local jobs app by August. It intends to cut local engineering and product teams, while downsizing functions such as sales and marketing, it said in a blogpost.The move extends a withdrawal from the world’s largest internet market that began about two years ago, after LinkedIn ran into regulatory scrutiny and local rivals flourished. The US company will keep an office and staff there, in part to support a business helping domestically based companies recruit and train talent abroad.“We’ll focus our China strategy on assisting companies operating in China to hire, market, and train abroad,” the company said in an internal memo. “Though InCareer experienced some success in the past year thanks to our strong China...
