1. You learned how to smile no matter the situation.

Whenever a guest comes up to complain or rages in anger at you, you simply plastered a smile on your face and nodded in agreement. You'd then follow up with an apology and offered any assistance you could just so wouldn't have to hear it again. You got really good at faking a smile even when you're angry.

2. You knew which song came next on the playlist.

Throughout the day, you listened to the same playlist over and over again. It never changes either, it's always the same playlist every hour of everyday. You eventually learn what song comes next and you know all the words. What's worse is when you’re driving away in your car and one of the songs from the playlist comes on.

3. You never wanted to go back there again.

It was just a summer job and thought it would be cool to get free admission to the park. However, once you started working there, that thought started to change. Since you work there almost every day of the week (unless you were part time), you vowed to yourself to never want go back to that place on your off-days.

4. The outfits made you feel like you came out of an 80's movie.

Each department within the park had their own uniform, but it in all honesty they were pretty gender neutral and UGLY. High wasted shorts and polo to be tucked in. It was almost like the park is stuck in an 80's timeframe. Or maybe you worked in the waterpark which wasn't as nearly as bad as the rest of the park, but still pretty bad.

5. Your body formed HIDEOUS tan lines.

The sun was no friend to the "adorable" outfits you were forced to wear. You thought, "Oh working a job in the sun all day, I'm going to be so tan!" You do get a tan, but this isn't a regular summer tan. No matter how much time you spent your off days in the sun, it would be no match for that farmer’s tan to fade.

6. There was a constant battle between quitting or staying.

You’d sit in your car right before your shift. You contemplated on either quitting or just suck it up and work your life away. Sometimes there would be tears and other times it would just be pure annoyance, not wanting to deal with whatever the day had in store.

7. You became an expert cleaner.

Do I really have to clean up the puke that came from a five-year-old tot? Cleaning duty was never fun. Bathroom duty is probably the worst thing to get assigned to. Depending on the day and how busy it is, it can be like walking into a scene from Daddy Daycare where Eddy Murphy walks into the bathroom and just makes a disgusting face while slowly closing the door. It’s that bad.

8. The only thing you looked forward to were the paychecks.

The holy grail for all the hard work you put in. Depending on how often you got paid, you always looked forward to payday because you knew it was about to be a big check. You think to yourself, “Maybe working at an amusement park isn’t too bad." Sike.
