You know Maritza. That girl is so positive and upbeat she had nothing but praises to sing to Snacks. If I had been better composed I would have definitely had a couple things to say. Overall I was very impressed with everything he did for the festival this year, though.

I can't believe I didn't tell you guys this story (I think Ro is the only person I've told). It is the epitome of the stupidity of some people that work at the Gorge.
So this guy comes over to one of the alcohol wristband people and pulls out his New Mexico ID. The employee looks at it and goes "Sorry but it has to be a US ID". And the guy goes "It is a US ID..." and the employee responds "Well how about a passport?". Right around this time another Gorge employee walks by and he asks her whether New Mexico is a part of the US and she responds "Yes, are you stupid?" to which the employee responds with "I'm sorry I don't study the atlas all day".
I was lol-ing.

Some of the workers there were pretty messed up. I went to get food and opt for the chicken strips, fries and a coke (to mix rum with). The girl looks very carefully at the list, triple checks, and finally says "Ok... $13" I give her a $20, she literally counts it out on her hands and eventually gives me the $7 change. My friend behind me orders the exact same thing. She gets insanely flustered, triple checks the price again, gets her co-worker to check and make sure. My friend just sticks out $13 exactly. She takes it nervously. "What did you want again?" He repeats his order. She checks the price, AGAIN. He just says "It's $13, we're good".
I seriously think he could have convinced her to give him change. She was higher than 95% of the people actually attending the festival.

That's not the only story I've heard about concession workers not being able to make change in simple amounts. It's possible they were high, but it's equally possible that they are just incredibly fucking stupid.

You should have seen the look on the girl's face when my friend asked for nacho cheese to go with her pretzel. Her reply was something along the lines of, "Our nacho cheese is actually only for the nachos and there's literally no way I can physically give you cheese with your pretzel." My friend asked for a supervisor, who came over, rolled his eyes at the employee, squirted some nacho cheese onto the pretzel wrapper, apologized, and walked away. Fucking hilarious.

The fact that she was able to make change the first time and then had to ask for help the second time made me think she was high, but I guess she might have been that dumb.
She also kinda giggled for 2 seconds before containing herself which added another mark to the high column. I have no idea how they keep track of money there but it wouldn't surprise me in the least if a good chunk of concession people there leave with $100s in stolen money. There doesn't seem to be any order to it at all.

I'm pretty sure she was completely sober and very appreciative that I could do maths that involved giving change with fifty cents in it. |

Even the soccer/cheer/whatever charity mom couldn't do change without 6 other opinions.
EDIT: I'm pretty sure she wasn't high.

I can manage basic math while incredibly stoned, and I am for shit at math. If you can count to 100, there is no reason for not being able to break a twenty dollar bill.
Although one time I filled out a job application at Taco Bell while on mushrooms (the person I was with was such a downer that this was the most appealing thing I could think to do while I was tripping) and I failed so miserably at the math part of the application that I never even got a call back.
I can't imagine why the fuck I would need to know how to do long division to work at a fucking Taco Bell. Maybe I wasn't even really at a Taco Bell. Who the fuck knows.
