Haunt Actors, Stop Scaring Other Employees: I Just Want To Do My Job

Haunt is great and all, but I'm trying to work and it's hard when I'm freaking out half the time.

It's that time of year again. Pumpkin coffee is back, it's cool enough for hoodies and jeans. And all the haunted houses have reopened and all the monsters have come out to play. Don't get me wrong, I love watching scary movies, but going to haunted houses is totally different. And working at a park that runs a haunt, well let's just say it's not really a good mix at times.

To the haunt actors:

Chasing cashiers.

Please don't chase my cashiers. They have places they have to be as well. They are here because they need the money, they didn't pay to get scared. Focus on the guests who paid to be there and let us do our jobs. If you know they don't mind, go for it, but when you can see that you're causing someone to break down when on the clock, back off.

Rushing from locations.

Please don't come after us when you see us hurrying to and from locations. We have places to be, guest and other employees to help. It's kind of annoying when we show up to talk an upset guest looking just as upset or having just finished crying. Let us do our jobs without having to worry about you making it harder for us.

Transporting money.

If I'm carrying a drawer filled with money and my flashlight is on, don't yell at me to turn it off. Yes, you want to get the guests but I'm also carrying around a lot of money and no, I'm not going to walk through your dark, foggy attraction without my light on so I can better see where I'm going. This also implies for when we are carrying our cash bags down at the end of a shift. We have a lot of money in our hands at any given time. Please don't engage us if you see we have any time of money be it a drawer or cash bag. I'd really hate to have to call security every time we have to pass through your attraction because you don't listen.

Stay out of safe zones.

We have safe zones for a reason. Please stop trying to come into the store(s). Yes, it's cold outside but this rule doesn't change during haunt. You're not supposed to be in the stores during the summer season if you're not working in that department so please, please, please stop. I'd really hate to report you to your sups for not listening.

If you can do these few things, we'll all have an amazing haunt season. And to all my friends who are actors, I know no matter how much I ask you not to, you're still going to chase me and I've learned to live with that. Just make sure it's not when I'm in the middle of something important.

Happy Haunting!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

RBF, or resting b*tch face, is a serious condition that many people suffer from worldwide. Suffers are often bombarded with daily questions such as "Are you OK?" and "Why are you so mad?" If you have RBF, you've probably had numerous people tell you to "just smile!"

While this question trend can get annoying, there are a couple of pros to having RBF.

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
