7 Things Only People Who Work at the Movies Understand
1) The struggle of going to work at 9 am thinking you won’t be busy because who the heck goes to see a movie that early in the morning but alas…
A line of people awaits you, everyone wanting to buy tickets before you’ve even had time to clock in, let alone time to count your drawer.
2) The number of quarreling couples who choose to not only argue about what movie they’re seeing, but let it be known to you and all the waiting customers that they have personal issues they need to work out
3) You have that one coworker who is literally always watching a movie when he’s not working
It’s as if they live at the theater *clears throat* “I’m looking at you Josh”
4) If you work concessions there is no escaping the smell of buttered popcorn which will linger on you until you take a shower
And no, I don’t love the constant access to free popcorn because now I can’t stand even being near it
5) Customers look at you like you’re a loon if you haven’t seen every single movie that’s out yet
It’s just… Well… I already spend 8 hours a day, 3 days a week at the movies
6) You may not get paid much but you don’t really ever wanna leave because of the awesome people you work with and the pretty sweet perks
7) Though work can get stressful, we’re all a big happy family in the end
