Well, geez. You'd think my original post was an angst filled sobfest about the horrors of working at a movie theatre if you'd just read the thread following it. It was no such thing. All it was was a list of things that I would make my day a bit better if more customers thought of those things.

I don't spend the day hating where I'm at and wishing I were anywhere else but working at some hellhole movie theatre. I actually like my job. I like movies and I like the movie theatre environment. That's why I started working at one and why I don't plan on quitting. But every job has something frustrating or annoying that comes with it. I bet while you're laughing it up at theatre workers because you get to load pipes onto trucks in the rain, you'll thinking at least a little "boy it sure is cold; golly I wish I didn't have to do this in the rain" or something like that. The way customers act sometimes makes me think on occasion "boy, I wish customers weren't such slobs or rude jerks."

And, yes, I do occasionally get thank yous, although I must admit I don't anything so prestigious or noteworthy as loading pipes onto trucks in the rain. I just don't think people recognize exactly how much of a pain it is to have to bend down every step down the aisle in order to pick up a piece of their trash enough.

And, just FYI, while the starting positions are, yes, almost minimum wage jobs that are typically filled by 16-17 year olds who barely last a month before walking out, you can advance up the ladder, and the ladder goes pretty far. While managing a theatre or group of theatres isn't exactly my dream goal, I wouldn't say its a bad way to fail at life, if you take my meaning.

So, you do your part for the economy by peeing in the corner, Mr. S. And you have fun loading those pipes onto trucks in the rain, Mr. iss. I'm going to go clean a theatre.


*BTW, I'm usually in concession, so I don't really deal with the trash much, anyway*
