    There’s trash cans in the bathrooms and they all have changing stations… did he just change the kid outside? Is that a thing parents do?

    Yes. We’re used to no facilities or disgusting facilities and ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Of course you’d have to be an idiot to not take advantage of facilities when they’re available

      What really shocked me the whole time I worked there were the number of parents that gave their kids just way too much autonomy… like eight and ten year olds roaming around without a guardian anywhere in sight. It’s not a cruise, the parks are not safe places to do that… there’s Code Adam training for staff and a ton of security, but theme parks attract PDF files by the bus load.

        PDF Files! hadn’t heard that one before, ha!

        I remember getting lost there as a child. I was with my family, but that day it started raining cats and dogs, so we went to the closest shop and bought rain ponchos… which evidently is what EVERY family did. We started walking, I got separated for a second, and ended up following this other family around the park for what seemed like hours, but was probably only a few minutes. When I finally caught up with the family, and grabbed the mom-looking ponchos hand, I realized what I had done.

        I ended up running from them, and hung around the shop we bought the ponchos from. Luckily, my mom came and found me there. but yo I legit was like “Well, I guess I’ll just live and work at the park now. 😐” Like some Floridian Robinson Crusoe, I felt like I was awash on a strange island, and it was there I would remain after being abandoned. 😅

          You’ve got to be the only person I’ve ever heard with positive things to say about the PDF format.

              It has its merits. If I want a document’s formatting to be consistent upon delivery and accessible to anybody with so much as a web browser, I export to PDF.

                I use them all the time, it has its place…but people tend to overuse them.

                Nothing worse than someone sending me data as a fucken PDF file. Hey here is a table with a bunch of data, it is spread over multiple pages, and no you can’t get the data as a csv file. Because I want you to spend a lot of time verifying that the data has imported correctly.
