I used to work at Hersheypark. Those four years of dutiful service to the rides department of the amusement park were very joyful for me--I loved the work (I remember working twelve double shifts in a row once). For others, Hersheypark’s greatest asset with the community of workers, we all eventually realized that that wasn’t the point. Every morning we would sign in and get assigned a ride. Everyone dreaded this time because they might get the horrible assignment of a kiddy ride. That assignment meant that for seven hours, you’d be stuck at a ride with a bunch of kids all by yourself.
