Just had an interview for a job at a theater. Only indie theater in town. Think I did pretty well.
Anyone else work at a theater?

Pic related, where I'm hopefully gonna be working.
Yeah I work at a theater, it's alright but occasionally I have to break out the cinema tiki torch to stave off the old men in the cinema showers.
What the fuck did I say, nigger
Have fun getting all those tips from working the concession stand
>inb4 penis inspection
As a penis inspector who's been in the business for nearly ten years, I find it insulting that a new hiree would trivialize my profession.
Are you in charge of hiring designated theatre shooters?
I'm probably going to be the only one talking seriously but nvm.
Ye, I'm working in a pretty big cinema as an usher.
It's pretty comfy. You get to meet qt girls, the job is pretty slow and you don't have to work much and you get a pretty good idea of the movies.
What position are you going to work as?
>people on Sup Forums freaking the fuck out about penis inspection
its a fucking 2 second check for warts or any STD's like calm the fuck down nerds
I work at a indie/underground theater.
Not a huge fan of it, its got some dirty work but at least most of the staff is into movies/tv beyond what is popular.

its the worst
They crosstrain, but I'm pretty sure I'll be working either cleanup duty or concession stand, which I'm okay with.
My last job was at a theater too, and I actually had to deliver food to people (Alamo Drafthouse ripoff, had a microbrewery in the theater). Burnt my hand every fucking time I tried to deliver coffee. Every fucking time.
I nearly aced my interview but they ended up not hiring me, I phoned them back later to ask why and they said that I mixed up the dual horned anvil for a partial cone anvil which was my fault but I'm glad they let me know.
i work in the cinema stables. the pay is ok but the boss is an asshole.
>tfw cinema clowning is a dying artform
My local cinema laid off 'Peps Pizzao' the cinema clown since Jimmy Carter was in office last year. His antics always brightened my moviegoing experiences. He was a real stand up guy.
Looks like a magical place. Enjoy it OP. Though summer is coming.. Customer service jobs especially food service and theaters are going to be more busy than usual. Which translates to you get more hours typically.
>Drake And Josh reference
Fuck me, it's been a while.
Underground theaters are pretty nice.
Some day I wanna run like a film collective thing, like we watch movies in unconventional places that suit the theme of the movie, discuss it afterwards. Like a travelling film club, I think that'd be pretty neat.
As long as you take evening shifts, it's alright, since all the kids making all the mess are gone by 6 pm.
I'm not exactly a people person (why else would I be here) but I can fake it long enough for people to believe I'm a normie.
If you don't really care about your job, working at a theater can be a blast. So many pranks to play, so much to steal, so many cute girls to harrass.
If you're doing it straight up though, it just really sucks.
What are the qualifications to get hired as a cinema shooter? I was thinking about picking up that job for the summer.
I worked at a theater and it was great. One of the very few times I made actual friendships with my coworkers, and didn't hate the place to never want to go there in my off time. If it didn't pay like shit I would probably go back to it.
I'm an oldfag, so it is probably a lot different now, but the projectionist was the job to have other than manager. It was a lot of work to get the reels ready(not like fight club), and making sure they were all running correctly for each movie showing the whole time. But once you get it down, there is plenty of time to just sit on your ass, smoke, play gameboy, whatever. Now that it is all hard drives and shit it must be easy as fuck to just dick around.
Evening shifts suck imo.
You have to stay later (til midnight for my theater) and do the dishes, take out the trash, clean concessions, it sucks. Matinee crew just gets to leave when their done.
I used to work in the popcorn mines at the local theater. It was an alright job, expect for the fact that the cleaners would occasionally dump bodies there which caused a mess. Oh and they didn't provide shovels, we had to buy our own, like wtf.
Shit that's a tough job, my uncle's buddy was working in the popcorn mimes at our local cinema and a gas explosion trapped him down there for 3 weeks and he also went deaf in one ear from it.
Do they really do virgin checks on women? I understand doing it to boys, but with women its just intrusive and messy when they actually find one.
I personally am not a huge fan of taking out the trash, but night shifts seem really good for me because hardly anyone comes in and afterwards you can drive around listening to 80's synths and pretending to be the Driver (seriously, as autistic as that might sound it's fucking baller).
>tfw I told them I'd want to work there for "a couple years" because I figured that's what they want to hear
>tfw I'll probably not last until Christmas
>300x223
You are aware that this is a Mongolian sheep dipping board, right?
Oh, the cinema I work at is located inside a big shopping mall, so all the halls are cleaned by a bunch of old Ukrainian ladies.
The main part is that nobody bothers you. Also driving home is pretty comfy, unless you are confronted by a hobo near the bus station at 1:30 AM.
this. Taking out the trash is done during open hours here, so I can just change the trashcans in like 2 minutes and go chill outside for a while.
My theater is in the middle of a big city so it sucks. Cant even drive home after cause no one drives in the city unless your middle class.
Taking out the trash can be fun if you turn it into a game - see how far away you can stand from the dumpster and throw trash bags in. If you miss, leave it there for someone else to clean it up.
Man, I miss being young.
OP again
Forgot to mention, there's a really cute girl that works there but she's a lesbian. Should I still make an attempt or just leave the idea alone and just be her friend?
History's proven the latter is the safer option, but I dunno
how do you know shes a lesbo? this is important
Cute girls will come and go.
Just talk to them and you will know when she's worth it.
She's vocal about it. Posted this pic recently. That's the problem with having been a Homestuck fan in my high school years(fuck you): Every cute girl you meet from that point on is either gay or taken, and more often than not it's the latter.
How old are u OP?
29.
You know what would be funny? If they let you bring your laptop in and you just downloaded movie torrents in the theater using their wifi.
19
Oh yeah that would be funny, you fucking nerd.
>homestuck fan
you're also gay nvm
>it's literally only about checking the length
Dummy
It was a rough period, I just wanted a group of friends and something we could all talk about. Didn't know it'd end up like THAT.
Had my closest brush with losing my virginity during that period. I sperged out at the last second then got creepy afterwards. I've regretted not fucking her every day for the past 3 or 4 years.
I'm curious, how do theaters rid themselves of all their excess anvils?
I worked at a huge theater when I was 16
it sucked but i had lots of friends there so that made it better
My theater clown, Bubbles, was great. Molested a bunch of kids - but boy, did he make the best balloon animals.
>popcorn mimes
>mimes
spend a lot of time near the barbecue and pool to meet qt's.
>one qt from the cinema basically pushes away a chill nerdy girl thats also into me
>already have a friend with benefits in my school
>the qt's friend goes there also and tells her about he and my friend
>loses interest in my and to salt the wound hooks up with a colleague
>nerdy girl still into me, but I can't get over being an asshole
>friend with benefits dumps me month later
Fucking hell, just don't get tangled in it the way I did.
Women are natural snitches.
>mime
That's kinda fucked, famiglia

>mim
i'm 22 and applying at the local multiplex for a summer job
they also run a drive-in, should I try to work there or in the theater? I'm thinking theater because AC and fewer rowdy people to worry about, but drive-in might be more fun
I used to like interrupting couples making out by doing conspicuous theater walks.
me
Girth is the new length dummy
well do you live where is cold or hot
>Work at a theater as a projectionist
>It's all digital
>I just make sure everything is starting on schedule
>Arrange playlist on Thursday nights
EZ desu senpai
I've been dodging real work for years and getting overtime for doing nothing.
I will say that I do miss the work I had to do with film. That shit was fun. It was just you and your buddies for 2 nights building movies and watching them. Now it's just one guy on a computer. Pretty depressing. Lot of jobs were cut when they switched to digital.
Fuck Cameron.
>tfw my name is Cameron
wanna skype?
Here's to hoping you don't get it you fucking queer.
Thank you!
>summer
>"L-lmao enjoy your work w-wagecuck. Heh."
I'm good
I want to apply for one, but I'm not sure if it's hiring.
Summer is here. They're probably looking.
Best time is right before summer or winter holiday period.
Go ask if they are, or look for signs.
I only knew this one was because my friend got fired from there
t. riggered feminist
I think some guy just made a dongle joke! Quick! Phone the manager!
>it's a porn theater
>OP is the mopper
>winter holiday
>subjecting him to pure hell
What are you doing?!
wagecucks deserve nothing but eternal suffering
Fair enough, neet fuck
Stay mad facebook queer.
It's the only two periods they actively hire for
I don't know what it's like anymore. I haven't worked the floor in years.
This.
Except I'm doing it straight up because i'm a dumbass who takes work seriously all the time.
Even when I just want some cash so i can concentrate on working on a career.
>career
There's no careers for any of you fucking cucks.
If the economy doesn't bottom out, you will be replaced by a machine.
>implying I want a career managing a minimum wage shithole.
It's the same reason I got out of bartending.
I don't really give a flying fuck. Stop blogging about your shitty life you stupid attention whores.
Then stop giving me
>you's
I used to go on drunk everyday and smoke pot and watch movies until I had to clean the threat theaters, then I'd lift all the recliners and take all the quarters and bills, lighters, knifes, gift cards, and anything else that amused me
They let them loose behind the theaterswhere they breed like crazy and dig through the trash. They've got so many that even the anvil catchers won't take them
summer ain't hot everywhere
>being this dumb
I bet your theater doesn't even weigh genitals either.
>no pissbag
You tipped your hand newfaggot. Now fuck off to reddit where you belong.
I work as a server at a dine in movie theater. We play current movies and classics. I made $1500 cash the opening week of Star Wars 10/10 do recommend.
>where I'm hopefully gonna be working.
Why would you hopefully want to work at a movie theater?
Because I'd have some sort of income, so I don't worry about money as much.
Because in today's job market, you'd be lucky to scrap together bottom of the barrel shit jobs.
But no surely the generations before them didn't eat too much. It's just that these damn millennials are too fucking lazy!
I work at a pretty chill one but once a month we have a designated drill where someone attempts to shoot up the theater
it happens out of the blue to prepare us for a real shooting
I kek'd, but if that's serious it's straight horrifying.
Theres plenty of low paying jobs that are not as shitty as that
