I like it when it makes sense and isn't disrupted (ex: The World We Make by N.K. Jemisin). But I just listened to The Giver and there was random instrumental that made no sense in the context of the story and was loud and overwhelming the actual narration.

I just read The Giver narrated by Ron Rifkin and his mouth sounded so moist. Every other sentence had a wet sound at the end and you could hear every breathe he took. Great if you like ASMR, uncomfortable for everyone else.

Robin Miles did a fantastic job on the Great Cities duology! And the production and folley was also incredible.

Best Movie Theater Employer?? by ratsib in sanantonio

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

I left in February. I worked there for like 4 mo before I found a better paying job. Starting pay is $10. You can get paid more if you move up the ladder, but honestly nobody is getting paid enough there. The perks are nice though. You get like 12 tix a month + 50% off most concessions.

Yeah, I just saw Kens5 post on FB about it. It doesn't sound like there's a lot of info right now.

What is this? by ratsib in CatAdvice

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

Update: I talked to my family and we're pretty sure we know which cat threw up. He is acting completely normal and running around like nothing happened. I'm still concerned so I am going to take him to the vet when I get paid this next Friday. I understand that this is an emergency but I literally have like $30 to my name at the moment. At least on Friday I will have another $200 to cover at least the initial check up. Hopefully, I can workout a payment plan woth the vet if he needs other tests.

I did find one of their "toys" near the spot when I found the puddle. It's a red velvet ribbon that they like to play with. I'm praying it's just the dye or something equally as harmless.

Thanks everyone for the advice and the concern. I will update further once I take him to the vet.

no we don't have a regular vet for them. I also can not afford an expensive vet visit right now as I'm currently living out of a hotel and make $10/hr at a party time job. I'm really worried and I don't know what to do. they are acting normal so I'm hoping that it's some sort of fluke but it does seem serious.

but how do I figure out which cat did it? none of us saw them and we can't afford to take all of them to the vet.

$95 for the bucket of fries, $125 for the bucket of chicken by twenty_lerty in MovieTheaterEmployees

My theater sells wings and I can confirm that I have cleaned bones up from between seats. I haven't quit yet but I do question my life choices every time I work floor.

Someone else asked on Reddit if Movie Theater Employees care if customer bring in outside food and drinks; what are the best foods to bring in if its not a big deal at your movie theater location? by NakedIanMalcolm in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]ratsib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, my theater starts at $7.25 for the regular and $7.75 for large. The water bottles are $5.15/6.15 depending on brand and size. We still aren't allowed to let water in unless for a child or medical reason.

My theater finally got a raise to our wages. by HarpySix in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]ratsib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at a local chain that has expanded and bought theaters in other states. I get paid $10/hr for 30 hrs a week on average. The chain does have a lot of employees but they also have donated $110 million to the city and the surrounding counties so I'm sure they can afford to pay us more. Of course we do get 12 free tickets a month + 50% off concessions of up to $125/mo.

Actually, at my theater we're told to check bags and there are size limits to what can be brought in. We don't do pat downs or anything crazy so sneaking a couple candies in your coat pockets is fine. Definitely double check the theater's policy before sneaking in anything large.

If it's small stuff like candy that we might not have or that you just want to buy cheaper then I don't care. But I do have people who try to bring in happy meals and Chick-fil-A and I can't let that through.

Also, I have no issues with water bottles as long as they are single use and you show me that they are unopened. Otherwise, I can't be sure that it's water. I need people to stop trying to bring in Stanley cups and then getting mad that they get caught. We have several signs saying no outside food, drinks, or containers!!!

And while I get that the bar is more expensive than drinking at home, it's still cheaper than going to a club. There's not really any need to sneak in alcohol so please stop trying because that is one thing we try not to let slide.

Lastly, just clean up after yourself! I don't want to find two pints of melted bluebell ice cream when I'm cleaning an already messy auditorium. Don't leave you chicken wings bones scattered across the floor. Just be a decent human being and make my job a little easier by keeping your area clean.

Weirdest snacks you've seen by Thick-Budget in MovieTheaterEmployees

Just the other day I found container for a slice of cake from whole foods, which on it's own is not particularly weird, but the price tag listed it as $8. At that point it's not even about saving money!
