When I was a teen I worked for that agency, doing janitorial stuff at the
Dome. Not a bad summer job (when drunken sports fans weren't standing on
my broom to taunt me), but for adults the job stinks. Those sorts of jobs
force you to come and "sign in", then wait, then travel, then finally you
go on the clock when you get to the site. Sometimes quite a while after
you've shown up to work and sat idle. This is in addition to commuting to
that downtown location.

Seems to me I've seen volunteer groups staffing the concessions
at the Dome. Anyone with the inside scoop willing to illuminate how that
works?
