Well, it is, generally speaking, if you are negotiating for your pay. I've worked jobs with really shitty commutes where it was worth it, and i've worked shit jobs with awesome commutes where it wasn't.

In the case of six flags here, there are extraneities here that aren't present in other jobs. I'd wager this case falls right along labor laws (some with good intentions intended) and six flags will end up having to settle or split the difference and make some changes. Six flags could also argue though, "Hey we pay 15 year olds 18 bucks an hour to sell cotton candy, we are accounting for those hassles in our wages"
