11 Drunk Midgets and the Service Prevention Department

Deliver Service Now Think back to some of the companies you have done business with lately, especially the ones with the all too annoying “Customer Service Phone Hell”… Press one for this and two for that. Recently, I had the displeasure of going through UPS’s “lack of customer service department” as they had delivered a rather large box to one of the other tenants in my building. So begins my epic struggle to navigate one of UPS’s “Service Prevention Departments” You typically do not hear about the failures of Walt Disney. Some of his failures were minor like the time Walt previewed "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" at a college. The students walked out halfway through the movie. Walt was devastated and severely depressed. The truth was, the students only left because of a college curfew that was in place at the time. One of his major failures was the premiere of Pinocchio. For the opening day movie, Walt had the catastrophic idea of using little people (midgets) dressed as Pinocchio dancing and greeting the children as they entered the theater.
