After that you are SOL and have to pay $8 to park for the night (at the time, now it's $12 I think), so that's about $100 a month roughly with the amount of events I worked.
Anyways at the time I made $6 an hour for a 4 hour shift, which means I effectively got paid $16 CAD (when it was 63 cents US) per shift after paying for parking! That's $4 an hour! Plus I got food poisoning from the staff cafeteria, because their food were leftovers they couldn't sell the game before from the concession stands in the public concourse!
Then again I had another semi-FT (graveyard shifts) job and wasn't doing this for the money, I was seriously a fan of the "Young Guns" edition of the team no matter how much they sucked  I even volunteered with the Flames Foundation (their charity arm) when I was like 14 just to watch them suck. Now that I see a talented team perform poorly on the ice it just makes me angry. At least the Todd Simpson and the likes of the yesteryear looked like they were trying. |
Ah yes - the Flames. Worked 3 years as a cook at the Dome while doing my undergrad. Have not touched food there ever since.
But good times - all the chicken nuggets you can eat, and all the beer you can drink...
