Wingless Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Theatre bitch. Actually, it was more than that, but it was a soul-sucking minimum wage job nonetheless. Concessions, ticket sales, post-show cleanliness illusion creation team, projection, random accountancy. On the plus side, if you need help running a huge 35mm projector or changing a xenon bulb, I can probably still walk you through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma# Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Retail: First at a large chain Supermarket... cleaning everything literally :S Then at a small drug store (which I am still at today). I sell computers, fix them and prep them for customers. lol Retail is probably one of the roughest people-business you can find out there. I'm pretty sure anyone that has worked in food service or retail will agree with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had popcorn and soft drinks (and of course, anything you'd like to buy for 500% markup. Did you know the profit margin on popcorn is several thousand percent?) which is barely considered sustainable. Related - I haven't eaten popcorn in about 4 years after working at ye olde theatre.
