It's a bad position. DD#2 did it for a few months, and had a woman spit on her because her ticket was blocked for the day. The lead let the woman and her family into the park, and DD was talked to about her "customer service skills". All she did was tell the woman the day was blocked on her ticket, but she could purchase a ticket for the day at the ticket counter...just like she was trained to do. Put in her notice that day.
People at the gates get treated like crap, and they receive no support from their leads. It's all about 'guest recovery'.
With that being said, she did like working at the gate in the mornings. She always volunteered to find the family to open the park, and loved helping with the show.
She moved to Bong's for awhile, then onto Batuu. Pixie dusted when she could, by giving away a candy or helping entertain a small child while the parents decided what t buy; and was always game to talk about her "Porg sanctuary" while building scrap metal with guests.
