"Seasons of service" ids

So if they can put your name, department, hometown or college, and the actual number of seasons why can't they take off the s in seasons when you only have one season? Instead of just putting Season(s)?

Something that always bugged me.

good question...its not like its a concrete thing on the ID like, say, "Cedar Point." I think it would be a lot easier if they changed it from "2 season(s)" to "3rd Season" Because I personally think that if it says 1 season(s) that it looks like its the person's 1st season, when really it's their second...

You might want to delete two of the three. :)

The program used to make the ID's is a tad on the touchy side. It's not as easy to have it "think" about say, years at the location versus a persons age.

God bless lag and multiple posts.. :)

Crikes, thanks Cedar Dan

I never saw the use of it. Although one morning I had to wear a girls nametage because I lost mine.

Cedar Point has some very strange policies regarding IDs. Did you know that you can put your middle name on your ID instead of your first name or even change names in the middle of the season.

Someone I worked with this summer got tired of people making nicknames out of his real name, so he changed the name on his ID to his middle name. The funny part was when other employees asked him about it, he said that he was the twin of the other guy and that the other guy was working at a different location in the park.

What was his first name?

(That's really funny about the twin thing)

It started as Joseph, but he hated people calling him Joey so he changed his name to Nathan half way through the season. I guess that people calling him Nate all the time didnt bother him as much as Joey.

Pesonally, I thought I should have just shortened my name to X to see how many people would give me funny looks.

I knew a guy who had his last name on his tag because that was what everyone called him. Not one weekend into the season and he had it changed to his fist name (and then a week later quit).

And I had another friend who changed his tag to his middle name in July (after being there since day 1) because he thought there were too many other people in the zone with his first name.

I agree with Maxine the tags should say what season you are on not how many seasons you have worked there.

im sure there is some way for them to set it up in their computer

Hah I had forgot that Joseph, or "Nathan" did that! I think he even tried to get me to believe that he was the twin also.
