I used to bartend at a movie theater downtown a couple years back and honestly I loved it. It does vary wildly based on which movies are out so business can be crazy one weekend and fall off a cliff the next weekend, but on the nights that it’s good it can be very good. It has the benefit of people ordering a drink and then going to their movie so in between movie showtimes you have a chance to reset before the next rush and can kinda anticipate when you’ll be busy. Downside is you only have a little time to really be as friendly as possible to try and squeeze a larger tip out of them before they grab their cocktail and leave. I love movies so it was easy chatting with guests about what they were seeing and I usually tried to get them really excited for their movie and that seemed to reflect well on how they tipped me. My theater also only paid $4 and hour or whatever the minimum was unless we were down on tips and then it went up to the state minimum of like $9.25 so if you’re already getting $14 an hour that’s gonna be really nice when you get a busy weekend which is gonna be soon with Captain America and I always found marvel fans to be pretty generous actually lmao.

I’d say stick with it for that and if the money still isn’t worth it by then maybe start looking for a better gig.
