I'm surprised I didn't get fired from my first job at an amusement park. It was the only place a 15 year old could work in the summer.
Pur routine was a bunch of us showed up in the morning and they assigned us different areas of the park. They'd tell us the name of the manager we should ask for to get us set up for the day. Usually, it was to some retail spot at the park (not allowed to do rides till 16).
After about a week I realized they weren't notifying the stores we were gonna be there. Just expected us to tell the stores when we got there.
So, I started signing in, taking off my uniform and just riding rides all day. It gets pretty boring tho after a week or so of doing that solo. Eventually, got buddy buddy with one of the ticket checker guys so got my friends in free a few times and just hung with them.
Was pretty fun working games though. You just play the games mostly. Loved running the hoop game...got my jumper solid that summer.
