Working at a theater was probably one of the better jobs I've had. Not sure if that says more about how bad most jobs are, but overall I had a pretty good time. Aside from the weekends when things were busy, it was mostly just hanging around, sweeping popcorn, and getting to watch movies for free. That said; this video definitely captures how it felt at its worst moments.
I give respect to cinema employees who have to handle many annoying situations at their jobs with grace. They deserve to be appreciated for their hard work and patience.
People, listen to me. When you go to the cinema treat the staff politely. When you eat your popcorn and drink your coca-cola do not leave a mess in your seat and throw the garbage in the garbage bin. Be empathetic and cool with them. They work really hard to give us a good time at the movies. They deserve respect.
Bro. I accidentally dropped some popcorn, and I felt horrible. I don't work in this business, but I understand rude customers like myself dropping stuff.
Agreed. Also, I’ve found worse stuff on the theater floor than spat out unpopped popcorn kernels and trash. Let’s just say at first glance they look like deflated balloons, but they’re not.
@@FanTazTiCxDWell there is that one episode where he gets in the show but it was all a dream on part two. Part two got me laughing. Poor poor Wojak. 😂
People don’t even tolerate these people like I remember a time at a theatre when a guy was straight up shouting at an employee at the top of his lungs because he gave him a small popcorn instead of a medium one. RESPECT to all these hardworking employees.
I think that instead of ,or besides, the usual volunteer hours to graduate HS that some places have, some customer service work (with real consequences for losing your cool on customers) would help to raise up new generations of people who aren't so abus1ve to customer service employees.
@@VivaLaRazsa i'm not doing anything. Businesses could stick to 'respect back and forth' policies, because workers do have rights. old people aren't around much longer..
@@GreenLeafUponTheSky There seem to be a lot of 'freakout at fast food restaurant' videos in which people go berserk and only a whooping would do to snap then out of it. I wonder if some of them had momma's who ONLY had that as a 'skill' and they got in a pattern of going too far and then only a whooping or a long time acting up got them out of it. That's what some of them seem to know, from home. Minor frustration or disagreement, and just freak out and nobody can legally lay hands so they go on and on
The #1 things that annoy me the most about these low-paying jobs is the AMOUNT of customers we have to deal with everyday, there's nothing worse than having to prepare so many orders for hours in a row, plus the crazy scheduling times, too many graveyard shifts and 11-13 hours off between them isn't enough for rest
What makes it worse too is when cinema employees being part of motion pictures is not entitled to recieve overtime. That's why they can schedule you for 12 hour days if they so wanted. The other big thing is you have to work holidays while your friends and family get to enjoy the movies.
What did you expect when you signed up? All of these 'wage slave complaining' type of videos seem like bitching about just doing your job. A lot of customers is a good thing, because it means your company is making money, which is good for you. A lot of hours, long shifts is also a good thing because again this is more money for you. Business is slow, job cuts my hours/lays me off: Waaaa my boss is evil! Business is good, I have to work hard and a lot of hours: Waaaa my boss is evil! You can't have it both ways.

I can relate to this video because I used to work as an Usher for a movie theater in Oakland California from 1995 to 1907 and I personally dealt with these type of customers. This is why now, at 48 years old, when I go to the movies, I tend to be more understanding towards the staff. I know what they are going through. So please be kind to them.

I used to work at a movie theater as my second job long ago. Everything was spot on except for the trips for dinner after work. Fast food workers and cinema workers aren't all that different, so we understand each others suffering and I used to get freebies in my order because I knew the workers at them very well. There's 5 fast food places near the cinema I worked at.

If there’s anything I can vividly remember from my theatre days was the stench of the trash juice. Popcorn and soda mixing in a bag smells absolutely putrid.
Right!! The fact that coke & popcorn mixed turns into some kind of chemical compound in the trash can stopped me from drinking soda!!! That’s a certain smell that only theatre employees know for life.
You're a projectionist though, not selling tickets and making popcorn and sure as hell not cleaning after all the people. I'm not saying you don't do anything but at the same time your up in a booth away from people.
@@dubriks9627 we're pretty modern, I do everything with my laptop, I'm rarely in the booth and also helping at the front, checking tickets, selling popcorn etc. :)
I work at an AMC and this is so accurate. Popcorn is always littered everywhere and people constantly leave straws at the butter station. Giving tickets you will say "You will be in auditorium 6", the guest will say "Thanks" then come back 30 seconds later asking what auditorium it was again. I have to explain to them that its on the ticket and it tell them what auditorium to go to. We have giant signs that say either 1-6 and 7-12, for each hallway of the building and which auditoriums are on each side, and people still ask about it. Dealing with the coca-cola freestyle machines is the worse and the slushie machines are always leaking. Also, 95% of my management team just sits in the office and watches TikTok all day long except for 1 of my managers who is the saving grace of my shifts. Theater hopping kids are always the worst, but yet since my management team hardly does anything, it's kind of hard for us to kick anyone out. Constantly there are complaints about the auditoriums being too loud, to quiet, or the lights not turning off by a certain point. The movie theater is definitely an annoying place to work but honestly I'll take it over my old job at a farm store.
Well to be fair, the net result of the giant sign that says 1-6 is negative 5, and the net result of the giant sign that says 7-12 is also negative 5, and when you add those results together you get negative 10, so I could really see how someone could not fathom auditorium 6 even existing in a theater that is already 10 auditoriums short.

Ive worked at 2 grocery stores in the last few years of my life working for a paycheck and everyday will always be something happen where one person will scream and cause a riot over a coupon error or it being expired being a cashier at the second grocery store i had a customer complain to management that i put a sandwich in her cart on purpose even though she could of said something
@agentsnorlson7913 the sandwich was already in the cart to begin with the lady decided not to say that I dont want the sandwich and it be better to just make a complaint to the supervisor normally anyone can simply make a last second choice and say "I don't want this can you return this for me"
Why is always mid age people the worst customer damn? Literally one can recognize a Karen-Kevin by just seeing if its a mid age people and have a bad higyene
I worked part time at a movie theatre for one year and a half when I was 23/24 and it was actually pretty enjoyable. The colleagues were fun and I didn't mind talking about movies with the customers. Even cleaning up the rooms with the background music of the movie credit scenes was ok, I managed to find money that people would forget in their seats. I guess working full time + several years or being older would be very tiresome. But I always look back at that job with good memories.
Brings me back to my college days in cineplex. Management awful, customers even worse, or vice versa. And the theatre business has had zero innovation of note or value in the 15 years since I worked for that lousy company (cineplex in Canada).
@@hoobaguywagies in general hold society together lol. All those small things in life you go out to do, order, call, is all being staffed by someone getting paid minimum wage. Spoken like a true oblivious person
@Stop_being_younger_than_me I understand that, but that same person needs to realize they will not be rich or be able to support a family or afford luxury things. That's our problem. Everyone thinks they just deserve to be rich just for existing and not having to work for it.
Look at this hoobaguy. Just keeps putting his foot in his mouth with every word. 🙄 Anyone who pulls the whole "ya gotta WORK to become rich" definitely, *definitely* doesn't understand how the real world works. And as an award-winning guy who's busted his arse for 40+ years (mostly in production), I'd like to state that LUCK is the primary factor which determines success. EVERYONE works hard. We'll ignore the stragglers who don't, because they ain't goin' anywhere. But hard work alone guarantees absolutely nothing. Trust me, I know. Fortune, connections, coin, clout, crews, computer code, control, communities, and opportunities (MORE luck) all factor in. If you lack those, you ain't goin' anywhere.
In my town in France people working there are only students or the family members of the owner, nobody worked for a full job there in 30 years. It's clean but ultra expensive, I can't go anymore.
As a teenager I worked at a locally owned cinema. It was an awesome job. While the films were on, there would be virtually nothing to do. We would just go out back and get stoned. Eventually I got promoted to projectionist and it was so cool because we had film projectors still. It was a lot of fun to thread up the machine and the sound of the projectors was very satisfying. The only thing that sucked about it being film was that sometimes the mechanism that feeds the film would malfunction and the film would pile up and eventually jam. It would be an absolute mess trying to splice it back together. I'd say the worst part is that people puked pretty often and people would leave their dip spit cups laying around. A few occasions, people even left piss filled popcorn buckets.
I did this job in high school for 5.90 an hour. I had 3.5 hour shifts and worked for 2 old Korean immigrants that owned it and worked everyday. They told me everyday how to properly mop and hold paper towels. I loved it and miss them to be honest
I worked at the movies back in 2008-2010 and let me tell u that it was one of the funnest jobs ive ever had. Especially when it got busy. We all made it fun. Gettin off late, chillin in the parking lot, free movies. Good ole days
I worked at a theater for three years. Can confirm. When we had 10k customers over one weekend, this one guy yelled at me "what's taking my popcorn so damn long?" While in a line of like 50 people
I worked at AMC near where I live in new York for about 9 months and it was the worst job experience I’ve ever had I literally attempted $uicide 6 times because of it the people I worked for worked with were terrible and the job was so soul crushing but I went to therapy and thankfully got out of it and got a new job that pays so much more and is so much more better overall I thank god every day for it so please if you’re thinking about working in one do not it’s not worth it
We went to go see saw x and they gave us a refund because our projector kept glitching. The funny thing is we weren’t being rude. We just wanted to let them know it wasn’t working and they just offered us a refund
As a cinema employee this hits hard. If anyone thinks this is just a funny video or as a troll trust me friend it's not. I have been working in a cinema for a couple of years and I know this is real. This is the life you'll get if you choose this path. 😥
I love how I used to dream of working in a movie theater when I was a teenager. Discounted movies sounded like a very tempting benefit. At the time, it would've been Carmike that I would've worked at. Glad I dodged that bullet, Sounds like a living hell!
It’s a great job, I work in a movie theater and it’s a lot fun! We work always in the evening and we have all morning/afternoon free, the cinema is busy only in certain period of the year and I can see every movie free and eat popcorn/drink for free too
It's their own fault honestly (I'm a millenial). I was like this once and fixed myself, everyone can, it just takes effort, somthing that these genreations are not used to
1:20 Love it. Boss: "We have very strict rules, every rule needs to be followed to a T, learn all the rules." 5 seconds later, Boss: "In this very special case I decided the rules don't apply."

My first ever job was at a movie theater. Pretty accurate. One minor thing was only the managers were ever allowed to touch the projector, at least this was how it was at my location in the mid-late 2010s. I'd watch channels like YMS and Chris Stuckman in order to understand what movies were playing without watching the full movie.
My first ever job was working at a movie theater for three years. It was a lot worse than what was shown in this video. After working at the theater, I really saw the worst and stupidity in humanity I had this one time as a movie was getting out and this woman and her kid accused me and another person of stealing their wallet when we literally just came to clean and as they left, we found their wallet, literally tucked in between the seat cushions they couldn’t bother looking for two seconds.
IMO, most customers are respectful and nice, saying thank you and being happy. The worst for me is if there's two or more managers who give conflicting orders
Yes, happens frequently. Blew my mind how many people thought that was okay. Buy a concert ticket then miss the show, see what they do for you. ( however in corporate world I’d end up comping them tix bc we didn’t want to upset anyone)

WE SHOULD JUST BE NICE EVERYONE BEEN THROUGH PROBLEMS!
I know the feeling dude, some customers are freaking annoying. I once almost got a job at a movie theater (not naming which one) and the manager didn't even bother showing up for the job interview...soon after I got a job at the neighborhood liquor store with a childhood buddy of mine (one of the best job's I have ever had).
Out side of the cleaning I don't think working at a cinema would be the worst job ever, in terms of customer service jobs it's minimal interaction. Scan tickets, tell em what seats they're in. Once the movie starts that job done til next show starts.
It was honestly pretty easy but when I was doing multiple things cleaning lights, bathrooms, cashier, concession that’s where it got out of hand for 7.25 an hr

With 15k oil change intervals and bald tires °~°
How is having a car a good thing? A car means even more expenses.
@@jareddrogose1470 15 k oil change intervals are normal lol, wtf you on about ? I m scheduled by the service to do filters and oil change every 12 k km on my BMW 530d g30. Tf do you do ? spend every day changing oil on your car lol ?

3:03 i giggled when he didn't respond and just farted. 😂
It is truly a sign of end times when an obscure youtube channel can make a more compelling story under 6 minutes than Hollywood can for over an hour and a half.
TH-cam is my theater.
i love the easter eggs in these videos… notice that the radio was on the great show ahaha
I worked at a theater back in high school, and I've got to say, it was one of the most fun jobs that I've had. Idk man
Try a chain cinema and not a locally run one; BIG difference.
@Undefined9 Yeah, it was fun for me, too. But it wasn't a chain theater. It was a local theater (the cheap theater) that released new movies a little later than they were released to chain theaters.
Same here. People just complain because they're still working a job meant for high school children when they are in their 30s.
@@hoobaguy its still a damn job. It shouldnt be absolute torture for either 18 or 30 year olds.
Try working a midnight premiere
0:16 - That's my face if I had to drive to school every week morning especially on Tuesdays but sometimes Fridays because your just ready for the weekend to arrive as well
This is true, especially with old people. They think they are entitled to waste everybody's time and make other people waiting.
We’re all a small part of a big fleeting world of flashing screens of entertainment and temporary joys. But at least as a cinema employee, you get to enjoy some free popcorn and watch movies for free. A silver lining in a sea of existential dread, I guess…
Love your videos
Ive worked at 2 grocery stores in the last few years of my life working for a paycheck and everyday will always be something happen where one person will scream and cause a riot over a coupon error or it being expired being a cashier at the second grocery store i had a customer complain to management that i put a sandwich in her cart on purpose even though she could of said something
Wait, what's the sandwich in cart story? That doesn't make sense to me.
@agentsnorlson7913 the sandwich was already in the cart to begin with the lady decided not to say that I dont want the sandwich and it be better to just make a complaint to the supervisor normally anyone can simply make a last second choice and say "I don't want this can you return this for me"
Why is always mid age people the worst customer damn?
Literally one can recognize a Karen-Kevin by just seeing if its a mid age people and have a bad higyene
When I see a Zero Budget Stories notification,I click fast AF!
I’ve been watching it lately & Lord Wojack it don’t get any black pilled
I worked part time at a movie theatre for one year and a half when I was 23/24 and it was actually pretty enjoyable. The colleagues were fun and I didn't mind talking about movies with the customers. Even cleaning up the rooms with the background music of the movie credit scenes was ok, I managed to find money that people would forget in their seats. I guess working full time + several years or being older would be very tiresome. But I always look back at that job with good memories.
I Love this channel ❤️ lol
Go wojak go....
Kisses from Brasil 🥰
Zero budget stories always so accurate with the worst jobs imaginable
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Can you please do Life of a Grassroots Soccer Referee? Having to deal with crazy parents and everything. I'd love this.
We really need a paramedic episode please 🙏🏼
Brings me back to my college days in cineplex. Management awful, customers even worse, or vice versa. And the theatre business has had zero innovation of note or value in the 15 years since I worked for that lousy company (cineplex in Canada).
It’s very humorous, but it does give you a deep insight into the stressful profession. Hopefully, this makes people treat workers better.
This guy makes our day❤ I hope he succeeds
The best wojak channel by far! I love watching after work at Five Guys 😊
So many women or wealthy guys cant imagne how many men live a life like this and hold this society together.
Yeah, because some wagie theater usher is holding society together
@@hoobaguywagies in general hold society together lol. All those small things in life you go out to do, order, call, is all being staffed by someone getting paid minimum wage. Spoken like a true oblivious person
@@hoobaguy Hey man, someone has to do the shit jobs or noone gets their movie or mcwage burger.
@Stop_being_younger_than_me I understand that, but that same person needs to realize they will not be rich or be able to support a family or afford luxury things.
That's our problem. Everyone thinks they just deserve to be rich just for existing and not having to work for it.
Look at this hoobaguy. Just keeps putting his foot in his mouth with every word. 🙄 Anyone who pulls the whole "ya gotta WORK to become rich" definitely, *definitely* doesn't understand how the real world works.
And as an award-winning guy who's busted his arse for 40+ years (mostly in production), I'd like to state that LUCK is the primary factor which determines success. EVERYONE works hard. We'll ignore the stragglers who don't, because they ain't goin' anywhere. But hard work alone guarantees absolutely nothing. Trust me, I know. Fortune, connections, coin, clout, crews, computer code, control, communities, and opportunities (MORE luck) all factor in. If you lack those, you ain't goin' anywhere.
In my town in France people working there are only students or the family members of the owner, nobody worked for a full job there in 30 years. It's clean but ultra expensive, I can't go anymore.
Theme park one would be hilarious. I've seen some wild shit in my 8+ years there
I worked at a theme park too and it’s really a hot spot for weird ass people
Oh, definitely. I’ve worked at some, they can be such madhouses (especially water parks).
As a teenager I worked at a locally owned cinema. It was an awesome job. While the films were on, there would be virtually nothing to do. We would just go out back and get stoned. Eventually I got promoted to projectionist and it was so cool because we had film projectors still. It was a lot of fun to thread up the machine and the sound of the projectors was very satisfying. The only thing that sucked about it being film was that sometimes the mechanism that feeds the film would malfunction and the film would pile up and eventually jam. It would be an absolute mess trying to splice it back together. I'd say the worst part is that people puked pretty often and people would leave their dip spit cups laying around. A few occasions, people even left piss filled popcorn buckets.
people have to remember that we all have to deal with each other... and we all push through
I did this job in high school for 5.90 an hour. I had 3.5 hour shifts and worked for 2 old Korean immigrants that owned it and worked everyday. They told me everyday how to properly mop and hold paper towels. I loved it and miss them to be honest
I worked at the movies back in 2008-2010 and let me tell u that it was one of the funnest jobs ive ever had. Especially when it got busy. We all made it fun. Gettin off late, chillin in the parking lot, free movies. Good ole days
Then why does this channel and some people or most ppl say here it’s terrible
I WORKED AT A THING DECADES AGO, VIDYA WRONG
Any job is terrible if you hate what you do.
I worked at a theater for three years. Can confirm. When we had 10k customers over one weekend, this one guy yelled at me "what's taking my popcorn so damn long?" While in a line of like 50 people
I worked at AMC near where I live in new York for about 9 months and it was the worst job experience I’ve ever had I literally attempted $uicide 6 times because of it the people I worked for worked with were terrible and the job was so soul crushing but I went to therapy and thankfully got out of it and got a new job that pays so much more and is so much more better overall I thank god every day for it so please if you’re thinking about working in one do not it’s not worth it
"what movies are playing today"
"its on the screen right in front of you"
god i felt this
Flashbacks mayne... flashbacks. I was working in a movie theater when Titanic released. Whew boy.
2:22 “I will have a conversation with employee number 3107 right now”
they’re called by numbers and not by their names , reminds me about Auschwitz’s
Wow, another banger. Really appreciated your work its really entertaining and meaningful. (I'm not a bot btw.)
Nice vid❤
The movie theater was such a magical place as a kid. As an adult I can't help but feel sorry for everyone who works there.
We went to go see saw x and they gave us a refund because our projector kept glitching. The funny thing is we weren’t being rude. We just wanted to let them know it wasn’t working and they just offered us a refund
As a cinema employee this hits hard. If anyone thinks this is just a funny video or as a troll trust me friend it's not. I have been working in a cinema for a couple of years and I know this is real. This is the life you'll get if you choose this path. 😥
Greetings from Poland🙂great job
I love how I used to dream of working in a movie theater when I was a teenager. Discounted movies sounded like a very tempting benefit. At the time, it would've been Carmike that I would've worked at. Glad I dodged that bullet, Sounds like a living hell!
As someone who works in movie theatre this is the best job after truck job
It’s a great job, I work in a movie theater and it’s a lot fun! We work always in the evening and we have all morning/afternoon free, the cinema is busy only in certain period of the year and I can see every movie free and eat popcorn/drink for free too
As a 42 year man I honestly feel bad seeing younger Millenials and Zoomers struggle so much with just everyday tasks.
It's their own fault honestly (I'm a millenial). I was like this once and fixed myself, everyone can, it just takes effort, somthing that these genreations are not used to
@@soulofexistenceYeah it's easy to blame and generalize others isn't it?
2:10 lmao 🤣 I love it when the managers show up in these clips 🤣
01:25 ? what ? those customers would been kicked out instantly.
1:20 Love it. Boss: "We have very strict rules, every rule needs to be followed to a T, learn all the rules." 5 seconds later, Boss: "In this very special case I decided the rules don't apply."
Fun to see my Man Is on His ribs😂 AND the chasing Chad part
I as a costumer hate other costumers in the cinema. They are unable to find their seats, they even miss the right room. They are unable to order the menu correctly (popcorn or nachos + drink)

My first ever job was at a movie theater. Pretty accurate. One minor thing was only the managers were ever allowed to touch the projector, at least this was how it was at my location in the mid-late 2010s.
I'd watch channels like YMS and Chris Stuckman in order to understand what movies were playing without watching the full movie.
I love how the managers always look the same 🤣
My first ever job was working at a movie theater for three years. It was a lot worse than what was shown in this video. After working at the theater, I really saw the worst and stupidity in humanity I had this one time as a movie was getting out and this woman and her kid accused me and another person of stealing their wallet when we literally just came to clean and as they left, we found their wallet, literally tucked in between the seat cushions they couldn’t bother looking for two seconds.
Bout to start working at one this summer. Wish me luck 😢
IMO, most customers are respectful and nice, saying thank you and being happy. The worst for me is if there's two or more managers who give conflicting orders
do people really try that, "lol oops, I tried to use an old ticket to watch a movie today...can we see it anyway tho?"
In our society the “ do people really try…” just know the answer is yes. Always yes.
A man used a coupon and he thought he didn't have to pay anything cuz of the coupon lol he was embarrassed and left
Yes, happens frequently. Blew my mind how many people thought that was okay. Buy a concert ticket then miss the show, see what they do for you. ( however in corporate world I’d end up comping them tix bc we didn’t want to upset anyone)
YES, ALWAYS YES. ANYTHING THAT CAN BE IMAGINABLE (AND INIMAGINABLE) IS POSIBLE DUE TO ****TY COSTUMERS
Love your videos man keep up the work dude 😄
4:45 sounds like the name of a Hallmark Movie
THIS IS WHY I GREETING EVERY EMPLOYEE IN EVERYWHERE WITH GIVE A BIG SMILE EVEN IF THEY LOOK AT ME LIKE "GO AWAY" ACTUALLY I BLESS THEM LIKE ANGELS, PLEASE TRY THIS YOU WILL SEE HOW GRATEFUL THEY LOOKS RIGHT AWAY IF NOT THEY WILL REMEMBER YOU AS A KIND PERSON. WE SHOULD JUST BE NICE EVERYONE BEEN THROUGH PROBLEMS!
I know the feeling dude, some customers are freaking annoying. I once almost got a job at a movie theater (not naming which one) and the manager didn't even bother showing up for the job interview...soon after I got a job at the neighborhood liquor store with a childhood buddy of mine (one of the best job's I have ever had).

"pay attention next time i just cleaned everything!"
*shits on the floor*
Hy bruh..love form India...❤
good morning sir
F. My life, you nailed it from the interaction with co-worker to the drive-through. My whole miserable life. Your work is 👏
I work in a movie theater for a year and a half when I was 18 and the only good part about it was the free movies.... oh and the ladies 😂😂😂
*CHASING CHAD* time lapse had me cracking.
Haha I used to work theater job. It can be fun sometimes but it’s a pain in the a$$ too most times
I worked at a movie theater 24 years ago back and ain't a damn thing changed today brings me back in time lmao
Out side of the cleaning I don't think working at a cinema would be the worst job ever, in terms of customer service jobs it's minimal interaction. Scan tickets, tell em what seats they're in. Once the movie starts that job done til next show starts.
not for the cashiers
It was honestly pretty easy but when I was doing multiple things cleaning lights, bathrooms, cashier, concession that’s where it got out of hand for 7.25 an hr
As a movie theater employee when I was in high school this is pretty accurate. Being an usher was the best part of the job.
Hello from Russia.
Life factory worker.
This true to life! You guys are awesome!
Ahh the glory days of working at my local AMC working harder than I ever have since to make $7.25 an hour 😂
Definitely feel him .rent is too high eviction notices feeling dead everytime you sleep and get ready for work
