Working at a Movie Theater

     Hello readers! Today I decided to write about the pros and cons of working at a movie theater as I recently got a job at the theater by my house! It's actually pretty fun to work at a theater so there aren't too many cons but it's still a job so I'm sure I can find something! I'll start off with the pros!
     The first thing I like about working at a movie theater is that I can go to free movies anytime I want. It's absolutely unlimited and the theater I work at has a few locations so I'm always pretty close to one if I want to see a movie! Which also makes for cheap dates and/or fun things to do with my friends!
     The second thing I like about working at a movie theater is that it's not too intense but at the same time there's always something to do. When we walk around and clean theaters, we basically just sweep what's in the isle. We don't have to do it fast so it's not stressful, but you always have a theater to clean or a bathroom to check. It's nice because you don't get overwhelmed but you also aren't bored to the point that you want to die.
     I think I'm going to talk about two pros and two cons today, so it's time to move on to the side of working at a theater that is not so fun. The first thing that is hard to adjust to about working at a theater are the popcorn kernels. When you're making popcorn, the poppers are open just a bit at the top so sometimes a hot kernel or drop of oil will fly out and hit you in the neck, wrist, or anywhere else you have exposed. I have a co-worker who said a hot kernel flew out and got stuck in her bra while she was helping a customer, and all she could do was wince while the kernel slowly burned its way through her chest!
     The last thing that is hard about working at a movie theater is that you need to stay busy all the time. This is mostly a given for any job, but we all know that it's hard to stay on task for 5 hours without taking a break. Especially at a minimum wage job. However, you basically have to stay on task because there's always someone in the theater that doesn't work there. Movies start and end at different times and you can't be caught on your phone or half asleep on the counter.
     Hopefully this was helpful or informational to you in some way! If not, I hope you had fun reading it or that you learned something new! Thanks for reading!
