I work at a movie theater. I work the concessions but I've worked long enough to know a little something-something about ushering and cashiers. And a little bit of what managers do. Ask me anything!

Let's say me and my girlfriend are making out at the end of the movie when everyone leaves and the clean up guys walk in do you think I could bribe them to give me like 10 minutes alone with her? What would you do? How much would you ask for?

Asked by Bo77 about 11 years ago

There are a few reasons why that wont work:

1) Ushers only have a few minutes to clean the whole theater. They cant do that if you're still in there. I doubt the both of you would be comfortable making out while the ushers are watching, waiting for you to get out anyway.

2) As soon as they're done, the next showing can be seated. Again, you're getting in the way of that. Patrons will complain.

3) There's more than one usher. Are you willing to pay them all off? 

4) Most importantly, kicking people out is the best part of the job. They're not going to take that bribe.

Can I pay for my 13 year old and a friend to see a rated R movie but not go and see it with them?

Asked by Jennifer about 11 years ago

yes, you can pay for them.

but they won't be able to watch the movie after you leave.

I often go to the ticket kiosk and purchase a senior ticket at the reduced price. What will happen if I ever get caught?

Asked by corbetthaas@gmail.com over 10 years ago

ehh, i think the worst that could happen is that they'll have you pay for the regular ticket. They certainly wont ban you and i doubt they'll kick you out for it.

If parents call ahead and give name, etc. and okay you to see a rated R movie can you see it (with a student ID or something, of course)

nope :)

Why do teens have to buy adult tickets but can't see rated R movies?

Asked by Blair over 11 years ago

well they're certainly not children. Nor are they seniors.

You can watch a rated R movie... Just with an adult. Because you're still a minor, legally.

 

I left my glasses in my case under my seat at the movies. Would you have thrown it out?

Asked by Daniel about 11 years ago

No. at least not right away

It'll go to lost and found for the day. but if you dont pick it up by the end of the day, they might keep it in the office or in storage for a week. But if you take too long, it will eventually get thrown out.

Credit/debit cards arent thrown out though.

can children 11-13 go to a rated r movie with an adult? we were thinking of going to the conjuring

Asked by Megan over 11 years ago

Yes. But they must be with you at all times.
