Wow, that is really an irritating stereotype. I know your frustration because I`m 18 and have worked at 6 different places that are not the typical "teenage" jobs, and have gotten attitudes like that. I consider my jobs almost my top priority, and I would never, ever even dream of stealing from either of them. In fact, I am more mature and professional than some women at both of my jobs! It`s terrible that because some teenagers these days tend to be very careless and sometimes do steal or do other things, that it can sometimes be trouble for those of us who have enough sense not to steal or create trouble at our jobs. Just like there are some people that do fit every stereotype! And there are so many out there that the good overwhelms the bad, just like any stereotype. Sure, I`ve seen some kids in high school brag about getting fired from a job for selling liquor to friends or stealing from the register. However, I have seen or heard of almost an equal amount of stories regarding people who are not teenagers doing exactly the same thing. Not only is it stupid, but it`s a violation of the law, not a special award they should feel dignified for. Anyone can steal or cause trouble at a job, regardless of age, status, whatever. It`s not right for people like that woman to assume that all teenagers steal, don`t know what they`re doing, or are generally irresponsible.

Plus, that is very sad and shows what kind of character she is that she would stand around complaining for no reason at a theme park! To me this woman sounds quite negative!

That is really weird that she would say that only 14/15 year old`s control the rides. I`ve been there and I haven`t seen anyone that young working a ride. And, if they were, I would assume that the ride operators have had some sort of training, like you said they do. It`s not like they just take random teenagers off the street and say, "hey, do you wanna stand here and press a button for a few hours?" It`s Six Flags, not some traveling carnival with rides held together with, like, bubble gum, lol. It`s common sense that they take the time to make sure their workers are trained to handle situations and operate the rides.
