Uhm - yeah! Nuthin' like getting punched in the face and then told "my dad's a lawyer, you'd better not say anything!" I always hated that first weekend!
While the first few years were great - the scares and the excitement made the lack of pay (we were designated as office furniture so management didn't have to pay wage taxes) seem inconsiquential.
Then we were told, not only were we not allowed to even defend ourselves, but that we were not to scare people - we were supposed to be atmosphere! PSHT! Once that edict came down, that's when the real shite started because the PARK told the patrons that we were not allowed to do anything to them, but extracted no such promise in return.
*wistful sigh* I still miss it sometimes though...
