Things you don't want to do while I work (language)
Ok, Lets get one thing strait.
I love my job, love it.
Working at a movie theatre is just about as fun as it sounds.
1. You get to see movies before anyone else. That includes employee showings a day before some movies are released.
2. You can see a free movie whenever you want, as many times as you want. (as long as you're not working, or have called off on the day that you choose to see the flick)
3. Getting posters is a big perk if you're into them.
4. The job is a no brainer (clean the theatre, tear tickets, help people)
5. All the staff are in their late teens to early 20's so you have people you can realate and talk to. So it's a friendly work environment
6. On break, you can have all the free slurpee, pop, popcorn that you want to eat in a 35 minute window (And if you think that you'd get sick of the stuff after almost 2 years of working at the place, well, you aint me).
That said there are a few things that annoy the hell out of me. These are just little things that happen every so often. But these are things that would annoy anyone if you had to deal with them on a weekly basis. And most has to do with the lack of common sense people have.
1. I don't mind taking out the trash. I don't. It's gotta get down of else you have an over flowing mess. But when a theatre is packed and there is only one can outside of it, it tends to fill fast.
That said, DON'T STACK THE FRIGGIN GARBAGE, PEOPLE. We don't appreciate that. If the trash won't go in the can, find another one. Don't try to recreate mount f-ing everast. And don't throw shit into a can whose bag I'm trying to change. There is a difference between the can liner and the bag itself.
2. FLUSH THE TOILET! If you are in your 30's and don't know how to flush the john, then you are retarded. No one wants to have to walk into a stall and deal with that. That includes me and anyone else who wants to pinch one off. Don't plug the thing with dookie and tp, that's just gross.
3. Stop asking me the same question 98 times a night. "I don't have my ticket stubb, can I..." Yes do whatever you please, I saw you come from behind me so there is no reason that I won't let you back in. You paid money to see a show, so I shouldn't be able to stop you, esspecially if you need to go to the can.
4. Don't hit on me. We get tons of people in our theatre every weekend. Most of the women who come through here either are in their 30-90, have a significant other, boyfriend etc... I do find some of the girls who walk through the area attractive.
But if you're an annoying freshman in highschool or younger, don't hit on me. I find you girls to be a waste of time and space. Grow up.
If you're in your 30's, please for the love of God, don't hit on me. That's just weird.
If you look like you crawled out of some disease ridden epidemic. Don't hit on me, GO THE FUCK AWAY.
If any of this applys to you, don't even consider hitting on me. I know what I look for in a woman, I know what my type is. If you're it, then I will let you know in a heartbeat. But if you're not, then sucks to be you. There's more fish in the sea. Go cast out and see if the fish bite.
5. Don't fucking touch me! I don't like being touched by anyone who isn't a friend, co-worker, or family member. I don't mind the occasional hand shake, or touch on the back to get my attention. But don't feel up my arm or whatever. I don't know you, where you've been, what fluids you secrete or whether you've had your shots. Don't touch me. You are invading my personal space and I will tell you to leave me alone in the kindest way possible, after that all bets are off and I can call you on sexual harrassment.
6. Don't act like an asshole in any circumstance. There are things that are out of my control or that I have no say to. If I tell you something is our policy, obey it. Don't ask for a manager, they'll tell you the exact thing I did. Then you storm off defeated.
7. Stop sneaking in. It's not worth it. We are not stupid people, we see what you are doing and we stay on top of things. We know if you're going to let you're buddies in through the back or if you don't have tickets. We know where you're going and what movie you paid for. And if we catch you you will get kicked out, so deal.
Note: I actually like kicking people out who f us over. It's funny the first 6 times. But when it happens every 30 minutes in one night, it starts to take a toll on your morale.
8. Don't start a fight. I really don't mind this one because I like to break these things up (but now we have security guards to take care of that, so my fun level is down a bit) but still it's worth pointing out that it's a waste of time to start a fight on our property because.
a. We don't care about whatever beef you have with the prick who rubbed you the wrong way. We care about our saftey and the saftey of our customers
b. There is a police station not even 15 minutes away from us. And we will call the cops, don't kidd yourself.
c. There are perfectly good restaraunt parking lots near us to go kill yourselves in, do it there.
d. Don't think for a second that we won't defend ourselves. Everyone has a right to self defense. Don't think that we won't exercise it.
e. Don't make empty threats, you aren't going to do shit, not with witnesses around
f. You're stupid, go kill yourself.
9.Shut up and watch the movie. Nuff said.
10. DON'T LEAVE TOBACCO CHEW IN THE THEATRE. This is the thing I hate most of all. I don't like tobacco or tobacco products. The last thing I want to do is touch a cup filled with spit and used tobacco chew (I feel like throwing up as I type this). That junk was in your mouth, do us all a favor and take the shit out of the theatre and toss it. Cause I don't want to touch something that was in your mouth.
I love my job, love it.
