5 Common Complaints a Theme Park Worker is Tired of Hearing
Theme Park Review

Like any industry, working at an amusement park comes with highs and lows. The hours are long, the days are hot and the customers come in droves. Seeing hundreds, even thousands of guests per day leads to eventual errors and their inevitable complaints. While some complaints are valid and worth resolving, others are frustrating and annoying to have to deal with on a daily basis. Here are the five most frustrating complaints I receive every day.

1. "The prices are ridiculously high!"

Yes! I myself can control the price point of your order and I am intentionally marking it up just to anger you.

2. "If I give you a tip, can you [insert terminable offense here]"

Just because I can accept tips, does not mean I am going to lose thousands of dollars and my job just so you can have a free beer.

3. "These lines are so long!"

You came to an amusement park on a beautiful summer day... what did you expect? Come on a rainy day, or fork up the money to skip all the lines. Next.

4. "Let me speak to a supervisor."


The worst complaint of them all. In all industries. I have explained the specific corporate standard 72 times, miss. My supervisor will only say the exact same thing and you will walk away even more upset.

5. "Well, this associate let me do [insert the wrong action here]. Why can't you?"


Do I look like them? Just because one person is "cool" and lets you break the rules, does not mean I am going to do the same.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
