not so bad at least you can deny that it is you in the suit

I sarcastically waved at one of these guys in LA as I drove by, and he flipped me off with his no-fingers-triangle-cheese-wedge hand.

I about laughed myself into a car crash.

better than shoveling out horse stalls

This has to be low-paying and monotonous, but at least it's not that difficult and doesn't take any specialized training.

Embarassing but easy

this sucks

I always feel sorry for these people, especially in the summer time when it's over 100 degrees in some areas. They must feel like a complete idiot jumping up and down and waving at people. Good thing nobody can recognize who's in that costume. Oh, well. I guess it's a job, and some people would be lucky to have it.

I wouldn't want to have that job, but, I certainly could think of worse things that I could do to earn a living....

lmao

oh man they do make for good pictures with my kids!

I seen this Sad Subway Sandwich getting getting thrashed by kids on
bikes as they sprayed him with sill string. I pulled over and twisted
him up a Mini-Me version balloon of his Subway Sandwich.

After that, he was happy and started dancing too.

He was in Bellflower, CA on Alondra & Woodruff.

Here's the footage I took of the "after happy Subway Sandwich guy"

Very bad in either high humidity, high temperatures, or (during Arizona's monsoon) both conditions at once. Working outdoors is bad enough, but having to wear this monkey suit (this is only one example) is hideous.

This would suck in Arizona.

Totally depends on the climate. My wife did this as a summer job in high school once for a sandwich joint. She got sick of all the passing drivers shouting "Nice buns!"

I wouldn't want to be a costumed mascot, in general...

The humiliation.

What mascot? I can only think of Jared Fogel. UPDATE: I was thinking of this yesterday, and i think this was mistaken. Whoever was requesting this was thinking of the spidermonkey from the Quiznos sub commercials. I saw a pic of the costumed spidermonkey on its creators website. The site was called rathergood.com

I would have to agree that any costumed mascot that is required to be in public, rather than the confines of a business, would have to be worse. At least for those inside, they have chosen to go somewhere and see the costumed mascot. Standing outside trying to draw people in, you have to deal with people yelling at you, throwing things, who knows what from whoever passes by. Plus, of course, dealing with the weather.

This job has got to suck worse than being the Chuck E. Cheese rat because at least the Chuckster enjoys air conditioned environs whereas the Submarine Sandwich Dude is invariably stuck on a concrete sidewalk in 90 degree heat. On an entirely unrelated note, I once dated a woman who physically assaulted the Chuck E. Cheese mascot when he frightened one of her kids by leaping out and yelling Boo!.
