what theaters u guys at? I'm with AMC, it's been a rough Star Wars week. ROUGH.

emagine

My job is to clean the building after the movies.
I also have another job making pizzas which everybody prefers over home cooking.
How do you think I feel?

At least so far it hasn't been as bad as Mockingjay Part 2 was. So far. I've only been there 1/5 days this week, so uh... good times.

I guess you must make a damn good pizza then. In my area we've tried like 3 pizza places already and none compared to what we do at home. You got me curious there.

I have been told MANY times that we make "the best pizzas I/we've ever had". Which is a bit ironic, since I prefer Pizza Hut. Even more ironically, we have a Pizza Hut, two other stores EXACTLY like ours in the same company (with newer and less ****** equipment too, because **** us) and two more pizza places. To make it even weirder, our store is primarily a gas station/mini general store.
We don't even have any kind of special **** like stuffed crust or the green olives that way too many people ask for.

You wanna know what the busiest and ********* day of the year is for us? Thanksgiving.
Instead of the ********* of "traditional" home-cooked turkey and ham and potatoes and whatever, people want pizza. Like, what the actual **** .

Well hot damn, that thanksgiving part made me kinda upset.

Currently I'm in a foreign country, and, along with my partner, can't afford visiting family for christmas. It's still our first year here, so while the financial situation is somewhat stable, it is far from perfect yet. So I spent this entire day on cleaning and managed to cook at least some of the traditional dishes we eat at this time, because hey - christmas is a nice time of the year, was part of my growing up, and the athmosphere is valuable in my humble opinion.

To hear that people find some of their traditional days so meaningless they go order a pizza instead of cooking an actual dinner is slightly depressing.

Aww hell yes, another movie employee.

Ready to get into suicide watch over the holiday break?

but did u get the monyes?

From what I have read, Movie theaters get jack **** from box office earnings. That's why popcorn is so ******* expensive.

its not worth it man

Quit then loozer

id take the monyes even if its a **** job

minimum wage, 8 hour shifts to 1am, 40 hours a week for a "part time" job

I thought it was illegal for a company to make an employee work over 20 hours as a part timed job? That might just be the uk.

www.dol.gov/dol/topic/workhours/full-time.htm

Yeah, they just get 1.5x the pay for hours over 40. There isn't any legal definition of full-time or part time, it's up to the employer how many hours a week constitutes full-time, and what benefits full-time workers get.

I think they just have to pay you overtime.

I get you have long-ish hours but what exactly does your job entail?

cleaning up theaters, stocking everything from straws and lids and the soda machines, checking tickets, gathering and compacting trash, mopping spills, and helping out whoever because i'm everyone's bitch

Knowing my personality I would probably enjoy the **** out of that.

You should consider finding something that matches tasks you generally like doing.

It's something I've considered doing in my off time since I really like movies and the work doesn't sound stressing in comparison to what I do - aka the other type of theatre - aka live production.

Sure it's nothing special and as you would say doesn't pay a whole lot but I also don't ask for a whole lot so it works out in the end.

I like playing video games and eating good food.

tfw there'll never be a job that matches what I like doing.

Try something new and out of the blue, I guess.

Or become a twitch streamer.

I never knew I enjoyed doing theatre tech as a workpath until I walked into it during highschool.

you raise a valid point water cow

but being serious for once, that **** sounds horrible. i feel sorry for you man
