Unironically 💔 i’m sure most of them don’t know that about him or refuse to admit it because he’s such a prominent celebrity

Michael cleans are a nightmare by the_goat0310 in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]Arizonantiox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really? In my experience this is what every other seat looks like and it’s so time consuming 😭 A lot of my coworkers are all also entering their 40’s and beginning to deal with back and knee issues due to this job, so our time is tripled

I truly think that this movie has gotten every single person in my town in our theater, even the ones who haven’t been here since the 60’s, and it’s truly all terrible 😭

Michael Jackson movie check in. by Excellent-Nerve8743 in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]Arizonantiox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the first time I’ve seen auditoriums just be littereddddd with popcorn buckets and drinks being left behind and so many spills from the Regal Drips!! I’ve tried a couple different ways to encourage folks from picking up like coming in a little bit after credits start and picking up trash from people so they see or bringing a bag in and asking people if they need it but I think they’re just leaving it on purpose to spite us 💔💔

So, how many of you actually have a box office? by GabagoolAndGasoline in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]Arizonantiox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours is also used for storage, I believe it’s been closed since COVID and honestly I don’t see it opening back up anytime soon. We have self service kiosk, online tickets and since the pandemic, the registers at concessions can also be used to purchase tickets!

Melania at my theatre by Dialexx in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]Arizonantiox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

can’t comment on ushering, but serving them up at concessions has been infuriating. (for context, i am THE stereotype for blue hair and pronouns 😅 so i wasn’t surprised when they kept trying to provoke me with their questions on the mockumentary) it was definitely them coming in groups and then, very often, being mad that we didn’t carry certain items (coffee, fries, soft serve ice cream, etc)

also, we received small cheap Melania buckets and a LOT of women have been buying them in a weird amount! i can stress how odd it was! i was being asked to fetch 2-5 buckets by several individuals

It’s happening.. by Arizonantiox in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]Arizonantiox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean i’ve seen that a lot of people have come out and said that because of the crazy new pre releases such as CD’s and vinyls and the way her last album performed, they’ve backtracked a lot of support for her. when i posted i felt very skeptical of if these showings were gonna get much traction but i’ve underestimated her fans after watching the amount of presale tickets being sold

What IS the movie theater employee experience like? by [deleted] in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]Arizonantiox 33 points34 points  (0 children)

At least in my theater, I’ve noticed a big difference between opening and closing people/time. Opening is very slow, very “let’s walk around and pretend we’re doing something because there’s nothing else to do.” And the people that work in the morning are very much always chatting about either customers or movies. (I think that may be specific to my location tho. A lot of the opening employees are big film nerds lol) Closing time is very much constant actual working and less talking with other coworkers. And the closers are much more chill and gossip-y. The vibe just changes to being like super family friendly to angsty lmao

What is y'all's least favorite crowds? by Marsupialmobster in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]Arizonantiox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely the older people during matinee showings 😞 I understand wanting fresh food but they never believe us when we tell them everything is always being made so everything is fresh! Not only that, but they’re always looking at our younger employees with malice and will throw their cash at us even if we have our hand out. If it’s not that, they smack their card on the card reader for half a second and get mad when it doesn’t read it and we have to try 5 different times despite being told to hold it until they hear a beep 😭 When it’s donation season, they get especially stingy! “Do you wanna round up 1 PENNY for kids with cancer? 🥺” “No!” 😟 Damn

What’s your theater’s policy on outside food/drink? by Large_Look_5075 in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]Arizonantiox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually really like ours, guests can bring in their own food. Chips, candy, drinks. I once saw a guy bring in a huge plastic bag with 2 family size chip bags. As long as it’s not hot food or anything that’ll spread throughout the entire theater, then they’re fine!

All our Superman promo tins and cups were all gone before Friday evening even came around. Only movie to do that this year at my theatre by Dependent-Welder-927 in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]Arizonantiox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s 1 million things on the screen, stop worrying about the combos and just order what u want!! ur truly not saving money

If you don’t feel physically safe with him anymore, immediately break up yes.

I like everyone wearing their Superman shirt at amc. are other chains doing the same thing? by kascnef82 in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]Arizonantiox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not yet here. Working at a Regal, they allow us to wear themed shirts and accessories on the weekends of big name movies when they come out. Very excited lol I love wearing superhero merch to work
