Yeah, Get Over It, that is their big scheme. They give you change back so you will just lose it later. That must explain the budget line item in Operations entitled "Loose Change". There is a logarithm that helps them target within $10 the amount of loose change they will collect each year.
It was a joke. Seriously I was just making a joke. Seeing as everything is so serious around here from what I have been reading lately. Simply meant for a laugh or just the simple amusement of some. Sorry if that may have offended you.
Anyways, every single one of you have forgotten to mention one of the most important principles of the economic system we have here in the US...SUPPLY AND DEMAND. Think about it...
Pop: $3.00. Sells slowly, so pop is overstocked. Bottles remain in vending machine for days at a time. People refuse to buy, and complain.
Pop: $2.00. Sells very quickly, so vending machines must be refilled at a feverish pace. Everyone will buy at this price, whether they're VERY thirsty or just KINDA thirsty. This makes the vending machines temporarily sell out during the day, and people complain.
************SOLUTION*************
Pop: $2.50. Sells at a steady rate. Vending machines refilled ahead of sellouts, so nobody goes without. Bottles remain in machine for short time, so nothing is being wasted but nothing is being given away. This way, the people who are REALLY thirsty (not just KINDA thirsty) can all get pop by paying the perfect price...and the KINDA thirsty people can wait til they become REALLY thirsty before they buy...creating the perfect balance of supply and demand using purchase price as the balance.

My rants stem from the guests--particularly those who smoke in line, line jump, repeatedly bump into me and/or step on my heels, and "tough guys" (those who walk around and think they're tough, when in reality...).
Guests who ask stupid questions like "What time does the 10 o'clock laser light show start?" (Duh!), "What's Freeway?", "How much does FREEway cost?" (failing to read the brochure one receives from the parking attendant), "What ride is this?", and "How long is the wait?" (failing to notice the sign(s) at the ride entrance), should be immediately escorted out of the park with no refund.
Bugs---high in protein and taste like chicken. Yum!

The name Freeway has nothing to do with trying to tell people that it does not cost them a dime, Freeway: cars drive on it at high speeds, so: Freeway applied to a ride equals less wait time...
Well, if one had to pay, then it would be called the "Turnpike"---you know, that toll road that cars drive on at high speeds, so: 'Turnpike' applied to a ride equals less wait time...

I agree on those "special" guests, after having someone ask me "what ride is this?" inside the Corckscrew station, I had to hold myself back from laughing. As for the freeway, most people ask price because Sixflags is evil and charges like 20 bucks.
