I swear 80s and 90s instructional videos are fun to watch. Like now a days the training videos are more serious but in this time, they try so hard to be funny.
When I worked at a U.K. cinema from 2008-2015 we would watch videos on how to evacuate wheelchair users and then one of us would go in the Evac Chair and be “evacuated”
I used to be an usher at AMC, I got fired for handing out werthers orginals to each customer, when my boss asked me " why are we handing out candy to customers?" i told him " i think the real question here is, why havent we done this sooner"._
@@CapCor hey not sure if you still look at these comments, but I work at a different theatre and watched those generic videos. I’d love to talk about these videos if you have any info on them.
Movie going experience is a lot different now with online ticket ordering and reserved seating. With purchasing your tickets online and just picking them up at the kiosk you no longer have to wait in line to get your tickets. And reserved seating makes a huge difference on big opening weekends for movies like Star Wars for example. You no longer have to get to the theater more than an hour in advance and wait in a line before you even go into the theater just so that you can get a good seat. You had to wait in the line and then basically run to a quality seat and then you still had to wait 30 minutes for the showtime to start(then 20 minutes of commericals and trailers after that). Now you can show up whenever you want and know your seat is going to be waiting for you.
This my 5th. I can now sell Crystal Pepsi, i know how to upsell at Blockbuster, how to troubleshoot customer problem for Nintendo, as well how to rap my way thru making a Wendy's burger.
I've seen the guy somewhere like he hosted a show or something. I know their theaters now are pretty crappy at least the one in Newport Kentucky. They made sure there was a even spread of popcorn all over the ground before the movie started and the person sweeping up the popcorn was more so symbolically sweeping.
Little did they know that in 20 years movie theaters will be slowly going out of business at a higher rate than any other business. Why should anyone pay $20 to watch a movie once and having to endure some jerk who kicks your seats and constantly makes noises?
Because films take a lot of money and dedication to make. Also, theaters are still very popular, they're more relevant than tv nowadays surprisingly. Sorry you've had expirirences like that lol that's never happened in the theaters I go to.
They forgot about how to deal with complaints, especially if someone is talking and someone comes up to you and says that person is talking loudly and such and being a nuisance
Hey 200710 Where can I buy this amc training video because I tried searching for this vhs on eBay and it's not there. If u know how I can order the video from a online store comment below and tell me ok 200710?
Hey man I think about this video like every day just because I worked at a theatre that used these videos but with the generic clothing. I would love to have a chat with you
Hi I have some of the other videos that were produced by the national association of theatre owners that were in the same theater but unfortunately after I uploaded them to youtube the company took them down due to copyright

They don't even have videos anymore, I think most places use online lessons and crap like that
I had to watch the PSA of that chef lady slipping on oil and getting her skin melted off by boiling water while screaming in agony lol.

Agreed,
Because they were going crazy testing different effects that they thought were sooo cool to use 🤣🤣
"How old are you"
Lady:"aaa... I... I... I never in my 45 years of life have been asked such a offensive question"
“Keanu Reeves I can do without”... 2019 would like to have a word with you, sir
LOL By the way Matrix was made only two years later: he was not that famous at the time.
i whizzed to the comments when he said that
2020 said fuck yo couch.
Haha 100 wholesome keanu reeves big chungus
@@enriquerodriguezjr4466 there was ONE shooting, ten years ago….
I love how they believe 5 minutes is enough time to navigate the concession stand
Right? Especially if it’s a big new release
@@Danbo22987 Yep! On opening night!
That whole bus scene? 80% of the movie was on the bus!

Now I'm ready to work in the movie industry
“Down right weird”!
Me: “well I guess AMC won’t be hiring me then”
It's Roger Lodge, the original Blind Date show host!😅
God I miss the 90s😔
@Joe Blow proving that nostalgia is a lie and that the world was always bad with some decent moments in between
I don't care if they are hateful as fuck, just have reasonable price and presentation
N O N O T T H A T S P E E D
I had to watch this when I was hired. Roger Lodge is an employee training video legend.
What year was this?
Im now qualified to work at amc..kfc...pizza hut... royal buffet and subway in the 90s
That's so interesting that AMC requested their own specific videos. My first job had videos with these exact actors, just in generic clothing
I had 2 other videos with the same actors in the same theatre from the national association of theatre owners but they got taken down for copyright.
@@CapCor hey not sure if you still look at these comments, but I work at a different theatre and watched those generic videos. I’d love to talk about these videos if you have any info on them.
I fell asleep watching this video on orientation
"no not that kind of speed"
Coming up next on Blind Date...
Wheres the thought bubbles?
😭😭😭😭REALLY!!!!??? I THOUGHT THE SAME THING!!! IS IT REALLY THE HOST FROM BLIND DATE!!!!???????
@@Pt0wN973b0iI - Yep, Roger Lodge.
Thats where I know him!
Regal still uses these training videos even 25 years later.
We watched lots of 90s AMC training videos in December 2011
These old tapes are just so creepy and I like it.
I have never ever worked a cash register. Have no idea how it works. I rock!
1997 was also the year Backyard Baseball first came out.

Wow - Thanks for describing what going to the movies is like in 2019 🙄
This training video is interesting, it actually looks fun. The 80’s and 90’s seemed more simple sometimes.
You realize this is a corporate fantasization of reality
@@jaredvincent3323Of course!😂 It is strange that times changed.
Most people bypass the box office these days. Also, times change on a whim now with digital projection - Forget about the newspaper these days.
The ticket people leave by the time the movie plays. The amount of times I’ve been able to just walk into a theater with no one around is pretty high.
I started with pizza huts training video, here I am.
You didn't watch the old county buffet yet. Your never going to be fully trained
Saaame it's been like two hours
I went pizza hut, old country buffet and now this. Wild.
So many memories of massive group hirings
Isn’t that that dude from that dating show from back in the day?
4:31
"that'll be seven dollars! :)"
HOLY SHIT!
whoa wtf and at 4:54 the dude on the right is like trippin out
This is amazing and I love it.
Thanks for uploading these AMC videos! They were fun to watch
Is that Rodger lodge from blind date ? Lol
Yes
You hear him.
I thought I recognized him 😂
ThErE aRe TwO lInEs OpEn To SeRve YoU
Nowadays we just yell "NEXT GUEST" hahaha
This is my 3rd training video ....
This my 5th. I can now sell Crystal Pepsi, i know how to upsell at Blockbuster, how to troubleshoot customer problem for Nintendo, as well how to rap my way thru making a Wendy's burger.
Use the large bill-drop slot.....
If you have one
"Is speed playing here, three years after the release date? I'm a dumbass, so I don't know."
That looks like the Blind Date guy
Because he is! The impeccable Roger Lodge. I LOVE Blind Date!
@tim conway - I give up. Who is it?
I love these training videos.
90s vibe I miss it so much.
WE NEED TO GET CHADTONIC
THATS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING!!!!
Something I learned from this video = Fast starts with the letter F.
7:30 age policy
Let’s talk about that box office and ticket takers should check IDs for R rated movies
Yeppp for those and we had student discounts so we checked school IDs as well.
The high waist pants and braided belts
That's the dude from "Blind Date."
"Check the phone recordings." Man those were the days when you had to call the local theater for movie times.
Old people still did it when I worked there
Kristan Alfonso from "Days of Our Lives" is the other lovely brunette, in this training video. You've got to start somewhere... 😄
That's not Kristian Alfonso. She was already a big name and had been in Melrose Place by the time this was made in 1997. Definitely not her.
I've seen the guy somewhere like he hosted a show or something. I know their theaters now are pretty crappy at least the one in Newport Kentucky. They made sure there was a even spread of popcorn all over the ground before the movie started and the person sweeping up the popcorn was more so symbolically sweeping.
He hosted Blind Date.
I love AMC theaters. ♥️☺️
Yep I just sat through this whole thing
Wish I was a teen/adult in the 90s or early 2000s just so I knew how it felt to work at a movie theater at the time. 😁
Worked at AMC in 2010...it was SO FUN. Worked during that twilight craziness. We all got to dress up if we wanted to.
@@ellenjohnson8269oh shit!! Nice. I went n’ saw all the Twilight films opening night.
DUDE I WATCHED THIS YESTERDAY AT MY OREINTATION
"Make sure you count your cash before you start your shift" i.e., we want you to work but we're not going to pay you for that.
Next time on Blind Date!
First job as a kid.... miss it
Did they suggest that employees should take speed before their shift to improve their performance?!
Just got a job at AMC so hyped lol
Wait i worked at AMC in 97, lmao i don’t remember this training video.
Speed with Sandra Bullock?? Love this

what theater are you talking about? My local amc is always bustling
Yeah, the one located in the mini mall in my school's town is excellent. Student discounts, good snacks, so much fun...
They forgot about how to deal with complaints, especially if someone is talking and someone comes up to you and says that person is talking loudly and such and being a nuisance
Isn't that the assassin from the Austin Powers bathroom scene? The "lucky charms" guy? @0:57
who’s here after drew lol
I watched that whole 1980 Mercedes vid twice last night. It’s kinda charming
Do you like hot fudge sundaes?
Anyone else notice how the trainers were basically all over each other
People touched back in the 90s
Back then it was more common-
Hey 200710 Where can I buy this amc training video because I tried searching for this vhs on eBay and it's not there. If u know how I can order the video from a online store comment below and tell me ok 200710?
Did you get it?
3:32 , if I told my female co-worker to smile more, I would be called down to HR that week
I'm finding it odd that there are closed captions on a video training employees that probably can't do their job if they can't hear...
4:11 Thank God prices have risen so much for movies and concessions, that few people can pay with cash.
@01:28 That dude to the left was in a bunch of shows back in the day, but I don't remember his name.
His name is Roger Lodge, someone commented on another video.
STEVIE WOLFE BROUGHT ME HERE
Remember going to a Movie??? I wonder if we will ever do this normally again. I don't certainly feel comfortable
I miss those ushers

Just applied to a amc and now this popped up in my recommendations, does this mean something good will happen?
Nah AMC is on the verge of bankruptcy along with most traditional movie theaters
@@mattkennedy6115 mine’s still open and i’m having a group interview friday.. i know this is a late comment but, i doubt bankruptcy’s happening.
Excuse me?
Weird?
I'm autistic, thank you very much!

Ah yes, the Dutch angle long shots. And the awkward multiple personality thing at 0:45
cool
1:27-Roger Lodge the host of Blind Date Game Show
I always get weirded out when workers call be by my name or when customers do the same
🎶 MUSIC 🎶
Yes mate, there is a 'Speed' movie playing but it ain't that one...
Chadtronic should see this
Working at a theater you want to weasel your way to being a ticket seller, it's way less work than consession/usher
♪ MUSIC ♪
Jesus! A smile? I can't remember the last time any of those troglodytes smiled at me purchasing a ticket.
Why was this actually entertaining to watch?😅
That'd be funny if people got hired at some AMC's they'd show this video before you actually start.
She looks a lot like Pam Dauber from Mark and Mindy.
5:05 Keanu
Momma Dadaa Sister
Yeah
OK- so we know the over the top headsets are not connected to the phone system.
they don't show how to deal with the jerk employees u work with, and rude customers
5:30 that sounded VERY RUDE! To me 🤣🤣
Just downright weird?
Who says that on a training video?
Blyndtyger76 I thought she was gonna say rude. “Weird” is subjective anyway. What I may find normal, another may find weird.
The 90s does.

That lady host is super cute
I think everyone should have to work Customer Service for a year. Maybe people would be more kind.
This video became obsolete in 2020.
7:28 is Kids going to see R or NC-17 rated movies.
7:53 don't ask to prove age if buying discount tickets. A 12 year old goes to buy a senior discount, but that's okay! Maybe he just looks young!
