I work at a movie theatre doing Box Office (mostly), Concession (occasionally), and Usher (rarely nowadays). It was one a very, VERY busy theatre because it was the only one in a county of 80,000+. Then one was built at the mall and now mine isn’t busy at all. I just got the job in January though, after the mall one was built.

Basically I chill in the box office and play on my phone/other devices. It is rarely busy, except for the last two weekends with pirates and all.

Concession basically sucks because people are fatasses.

I absolutely love the people I work with though. Not all, but the ones I don’t like I just don’t associate with. I have already met 3 people who go to UMD (1 upcoming junior and 2 upcoming freshmen) and they are awesome. So there, that’s already 3 non-freshmen I can associate with on campus.

As for advice, just start early and call after you turn in the app. I called three days after, got an interview a week later, orientation another week, then started a few days after that. I don’t make much, but I pull in paychecks of $300 plus a week and have managed to get out of debt with my mom, which I have been in for 2 years.

My previous job was at Chick-fil-A for nearly 2 years.
