Full title:
In a theme park parking lot at night, a worker sleeps in her car. This is life in America’s most visited city
Then why aren’t ALL theme park employees living in their cars?
They pay starvation wages.
Happens in San Jose and SF a LOT.
Life’s hard.
Pack the damned car - and move. It’s quite simple.
pardon me for not throwing the remote control through the TV in an uncontrollable rage as I stream Disney+.
what sort of specialized skills, advanced education, or expensive experience do you have to possess to wear a freaking mickey mouse costume.
and what sort of public service does the orlando sentinel think it’s doing by molesting snow white?
is this another Article of Impeachment?
Why in the HELL does anyone think that $15.00 an hour TODAY is a living wage??? These screaming liberals have benefited no one EXCEPT the people collecting the payroll taxes!!! People are SO STUPID it just annoys me!!! Minimum wage was NEVER supposed to be a living wage they can keep raising the damn wage AND everything everyone buys just becomes more expensive this crap just makes my blood boil because you can’t fix STUPID!!!
More Democrat Socialist propaganda.
Call the whambulance.
I didn’t realize Disney World had a blimp ride.
I believe the correct term at Disney World is "cast members". See, Don't you feel better? Now, Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to work you go...
If only they would double her salary, subsidize her housing, charge $30 for a hamburger, and triple prices everything would be ok.
Liberal in outlook and reliant on tourism industry advertising, the Orlando Sentinel has long been a supporter of massive, low skill immigration for the sake of cheap labor for tourism. Now they whine about the resulting low wages.
for $15/hr you could buy a nice camper to live in
Ok. Thirty years ago, I worked for Disney.
To set the record straight. Workers don’t leave the building in their costumes. They show for work. Get dressed, do their work. Take off the costume and put on their own clothes and go home. Disney property doesn’t leave Disney property.
Snow White and Mickey Mouse sleeping in their cars would never be seen. Period!
On the bad side, if you are in the public’s eye, you are an entertainer, even if you wait tables. That means you audition for that job every 6 months. This gives Disney the chance to not hire you.
They like college age looking employees. If you get too old, or heavy or too tattooed, you are night rehired. ‘But feel free to try again in 6 months!
Their old CEO, Eisner, wrote the book on dumping employees to cut back on paying retirement and benefits.
Its never enough. With all the women reporters doing emotion driven feature stories, i am so tired of this crap.
This is still a place you can make decisions and changes to give yourself a better life. Maybe put all the energy of b1tching and whining into actually improving your life in quantifiable ways, these people could actually make some real positive changes for themselves.
The Orlando Sentenal is such a total piece of fake news garbage that Harris Rosen won’t allow it sold or givin away in the Rosen Hotels
