Gripes from working at a theater.

I had to tone this down from when I originally wrote it to follow the rules of the board, but here goes:

1. Customers suck.
2. Pay sucks.
3. Old people suck.
4. Kids are poor.
5. Kids are annoying.
6. People cannot pick up after themselves.
7. Customers ask stupid questions.
8. Customers make stupid remarks.
9. People are illiterate.
10. No, there are no meals or combos..
11. There is no medium icee.
12. There is no root beer or Pepsi.
13. There is sales tax.
14. "Station Closed" means the station is closed. Go to another line.
15. Shut up, I don't get paid enough.
16. Big/Huge is not a size.
17. Orange or Lemonade, idiot.
18. How long does it take to get stock?
19. Yes, our large cups fit in the cup holders.
20. No, my name is not Junior Mints.
21. I don't care if your food cost more than your tickets.
22. If you don't know what you want, get out of my line.
23. I don't care if you think the theater is too hot or too cold.
24. It's always the new guy.
25. New people are hired so old people don't have to work.
26. Do you see a Harkins or AMC sign anywhere, you idiots?
27. SOLITAIRE HATES ME
28. The credits really aren't that interesting.
29. Do you think you really need all those napkins, you moron?
30. Don't take the salt shaker into the theater, you idiot.
31. Look, we don't have any booster seats. Stop asking.
32. Keep your dirty kid off my clean counter.
33. Box office cashiers aren't mind readers.
34. The exit doors don't mean you exit the outside and come inside.
35. Just because we work at the theater doesn't mean we've seen every movie that comes out.
36. If you get off your cell phone, you might understand the words I'm saying.
37."What time does the 5:00 show start?" is not a question.
38. Friday nights suck!

agreement with all your points!

:yoiks:

It was an old one-movie theater, and an ancient drive-in a few miles away (the couple owned both places). I got to see movies for free, but the pay sucked, the boss played favorites, and whenever I did go in to see the movies, I could be yanked in to work if they needed help.

My condolences, seriously.

On #37, I remember when I was graduating high school, a guy was going into the army on graduation... so, somebody else asked him when he was going in, then the guy going into the army said, "July 5th" and the asking guy came back, "hey, wow, did you know that's the day after the 4th of July?"

6. People cannot pick up after themselves.

No. They are just rude, lazy twits who choose not to pick up after themselves.


BTW, welcome to DU.
