I don't know why, but I just thought I felt the need to update this thread one last time. My last post in this thread wasn't exactly happy or nice..for that matter I said I would never work for them again..and blah blah blah, but I guess it was the heat of the moment and now there is no place I would rather work. Around here, it's either Six Flags, McDonald's, or the mall and I am certainly never doing retail again after last season. I can't deal with rude guests and bosses anymore, and frankly I was tired of it.

Last year I had a love/hate relationship with my job but looking back on it now I can't believe I ever actually did that department, ever. The people were rude, the bosses were rude, I got paid much less then I should've been for all the work we do, I often did things I never wanted to, I handled money(which is something I will never want to do again), and let's just say I will never want to do any of that again. I had to talk into a microphone, and being a shy person didn't make that easy. I was always getting yelled at for stupid things. Brakes were sparce, it was 45 mins and we could have been stuck at a game for 4 hrs or more.

I told my mom if I had no other choice of depts. I'm not working there next year. Well, thank GOD for my sister who worked in entertainment last year. She dragged me into it, and honestly it doesn't sound too promising. I am a costume character now/an escort/and I am in parade to. When I say I love my job, I mean LOVE! I want to leave early for work everyday(I usually work nightshift). I love being a character, it's the best job in the world. We get plenty of breaks. It is hot, yes, but I really don't mind it AT ALL. I have so much fun and I love making people happy. I act like such a fool because no one knows who it is. I give hugs, high-fives, dance, take photos, etc. I've met such good friends and fit right in with entertainment, which is hard because we're all pretty weird. But anyway, I just thought I'd update this one last time and clarify what I managed to do with a bad season and started with a new season. This proves that you can love where you work. If games offered me a higher salary to come back(and they did), I would NEVER go back. I get paid $8.60 now, not bad for a 16 year old. I never thought this job would appeal to me but long story short, when an oppurtunity comes take it, you never know what may come out of it.


Oh, and no mean supervisors, no stupid rules, no talking to the public, no money involved! Life is good

The only thing I can complain about is the injuries sustained, which haven't been terrible for me but it can be horrific. Guests don't know how to be gentle. The only terrible thing that happened to me was my back was jumped on and the shoulder pad collasped on my right shoulder and it HURT so bad, and still does. This happened 3 weeks ago.. But other then that, I wouldn't trade this job for anything right now.
