It's still quite bizzare to me. The theme park employees are working for the employer too, just like the waiters and barmen working for the establishment. Going out for drinks with friends or for a dinner date is an experience, how could it be otherwise? I don't expect the staff to entertain me, sure, but that doesn't mean that it's just "engaging in consumerism" for the customers. I'm sorry if you have bad memories about the job, but your point of view is quite angsty and jaded.
