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!

Best Rated

What if your 16 but look older like 18 to 20 and you want to go see a Rated R movie would they ID you? What happens if you show them an ID from your school saying your a Junior? Would that make it better? Or what?

Asked by Sallie about 11 years ago

Yes, nope, nope. You will get carded well past 18. In my state, you can obtain an ID when you're 14. I don't know about other places but it's always good to have. They're not going to take your word for it.

Kicking people out is the most favorited part of the job.

What if someone went to the theatres, bought a ticket, but went to a different movie than the movie you bought the tickets for? but theyre the same price? would you get caught? how bad of trouble would you be in?
Thanks!!:) ????

I want to go see a movie with a girl I like. She is 17 I'm only 16. The movie is rated R so I am thinking about trying to sneak in to it. I don't want a parent coming with. Do u think I could get away with buying a ticket. If not what would u suggest

Asked by Loverboy40 about 11 years ago

You can't. She can buy and watch the movie but since she's not a legal adult she can't buy the ticket for you. Close but no cigar.

I don't know what to tell you without breaking the rules. 

Hi I was wondering what happens if your caught sneaking into a R rated movie but with pg-13 tickets? Thanks!

Asked by 16 year old kid about 11 years ago

How often does your theater show classic films? And double features where two movies are worth the price of one?

Asked by Anonymous about 11 years ago

My theater shows the classics every week. As well as opera preformances and mma/boxing matches.

aint nothing worth dem ticket prices, man

How old do you have to be to work at a movie theater? I am 17

Asked by kayla about 11 years ago

14 is the legal working age in most states.

Seeing as you're 17, you're more sought after than anyone younger than you because you can legally operate more machinery and stay longer hours.

It's a decent first job. You can kiss your weekends goodbye
