Although I enjoyed the park tremendously, I am extremely appalled by how the employees are treated. I was at Boulder Beach, and today was awfully hot , a great day for soft serve ice cream. So we went to a shop to get some and we saw the employee inside struggling to keep up with demand. But they were doing the best they could, when they noticed the line getting uncomfortable they went out of their way to suggest ways to stay comfortable during the wait. I.E. standing off to the side under the shade of the booth, things like that. As time went, while the line shortened I noticed the employee becoming more and more uncomfortable. When asked (by me and other people in line) they reluctantly told us that they had not gotten a break and needed to use the facilities and rehydrate. It was another 10 minutes until I was at the front of the line. After I got my ice cream i stood around to make sure that they got their break. Nobody came in the span of time I waited there. The worst part was, when a gentleman in front of me offered a tip (of a SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT) to the employee specifically FOR THE EMPLOYEE they told us that they could not individually receive tips, and that money put in the "tip jar" is donated to a charity founded by the park. In honesty, I am highly disappointed by the management of the employees here. If I was the owner I would be mortified at how some of these kids are treated. I will personally never come back. And while I know that an individual customer vowing never to come back may seem in poor taste I cannot accept the fact that I have supported this type of treatment when I go there.
