CoasterOhio Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 It's a good read, although KI has plenty of differences (I won't discuss though) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016  AVC: How long is an actual shift? KF: We work between 8 and 10 hours.     AVC: Considering these guys have lives in their hands, you guys probably pay pretty well. KF: Yes, we are above minimum wage.   I'm LOLing right now. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Coney pays their ride operators minimum wage. Â And we have been struggling the last couple of years to get enough staffing. Â Its hard to entice people to work at Coney when people can go out to Target, etc. and get $9 an hour starting out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Lizard Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 The title of that article is rather unfortunate. It basically insults the people who would be otherwise interested in reading. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 It's an entertainment website owned by The Onion (though it's not a satirical news site). I'm really not surprised they used a headline like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
