The lack of training is what makes it fun!

I'm going to have to agree with Kurtis on this. Nothing like being told to go get the cheese (the what?) THE CHEESE over and over without explaining WTH you're talking about. I work QSR, cheese goes on the burgers.
Now Wishes! shifts were fun Here's your radio, here's your rope. Once the rope goes up, NO ONE gets past your rope.
I was hesitant on picking up other EHH shifts since my location does things apparently pretty different than others. But after seeing what we put up with for EHH cast, I'm grabbing anything I can this season.

Yeah, I was on one of the first EHH Wishes shifts after they dropped the training requirement. I actually got pretty detailed times and instructions for that one, and got to hang out at E-Grove for an hour or two.
If you're getting the cheese, you better be able to keep up with energetic CPs or you will get run over by a cart.

Sure, you say that now. But when I had a Dwarf get sick on my arm on my second parade, none of the five words in my training program seemed to apply.

I was thinking the tech support company I worked for at one time.

Hi folks, it has been a while since I have been in. My mom was just telling me a few weeks that on Feb 29 the parks open for 24 hours. My mom was laughing at me. I work QSR in Frontierland. She joked with me and asked if I was going to be stuck on that crazy shift. I bet my department will get the 12 hour shift. But seriously, who wants to eat a greasy turkey leg at 3 am? I will work a double, but nothing else. :D:
