5 Reasons why working at the theater is NOT fun.
5. Psychotic customers:
Besides those crazy enough to shoot up the theator, there is always that customer who thinks that they are being funny or original by quoting the exact same trash that some other customer said minutes ago. This nonsense reapeats all day. Sadly, these people survive everything and won't shut up.
4. Video Cameras
Everyone knows that the better film copies come from foreign countries and being a asshole to a minimum wage worker asking you to shut your shit off causes jail time. However, there were other problems we had: Graffiti was a big one. We even had a night security guard to help keep order during the busy hours and another employee would keep a lookout on the roof for anyone trying to further their vandalistic art career.
3. Other criminals
Another problem was people sneaking in. I've kicked out countless kids trying to get into R-rated movies, movie hopping, or just trying to get in free. Some of the excuses were hilariously stupid ("We can only watch ONE movie?!"), while others were just stupid ("I missed the first hour of this movie." That's probably because you spent that first hour watching a different movie, jackass.) Rude customers were a blast. They always had something to say, wanted things their way (this ain't Burger King, bitch), or were just straight-up assholes. But they were always fun to deal with, because it usually ended with them storming out in a fit of rage because they realized that they were wrong.
2. Your Friends
I had no pull on getting them free tickets on opening night, or free hot dogs at the concession stand. They understood that all I got was one free ticket a month to a old movie that has been out for over three weeks. Your friends are assholes.
1. The moral of the story is that being a employee at a fun place is not fun.
