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!

How much of a tip would we have to pay to get into an R rated movie?

Asked by Ashlynn And Gloria over 10 years ago

I don't know, are you willing to tip everyone just to get into the movie?

you're gonna have to pay the ticket seller, the usher ripping your tickets, the other ushers checking the theaters for any trouble

How much are you willing to pay to break the law?

i have a question for you do the recent movie theatres have security cameras inside the theatres dose it affect the couples privacy

Asked by karthik over 10 years ago

There arent any camera's in theaters. But's it isnt about the couples. It's about everyone's privacy.

The trailers you see of people getting scared in theaters are all fake

if i have a medical card with my DOB & name, and my school ID with name & picture. can i buy a rated r ticket with that? at regal stadium or even regancy ?

Asked by Lindsey about 10 years ago

I don't work at either company,  so I don't know their policy.  I did that very same thing when I was trying to buy a M video game and I didn't have an id and it worked. So that MIGHT work out

how old do you have to be to go to a movie theater by yourself

Asked by Person over 10 years ago

There really isn't a policy on how old you have to be to see a movie by yourself in general.  Just on the movies themselves.  Like,  you can't have an underage person watch a rated R movie by themselves.  But you can have a 7 yr old or whatever watch a pg movie alone.  A lot of parents do that seeing as they don't always want to watch a kids movie with them And they'll watch another movie that just gets out at the same time as the kids one

So i got caught sneaking into a imax movie. A determined worker recognized me (I've done this multiple times) and told the manager on me. She said pay for the proper ticket or get kicked out. How long should i wait for them to not regonize me anymore

What is the job title of ripping movie ticket stubs?

Asked by Lola about 10 years ago

Usher

This may seem random but why is there typically a glass panel separating you (the ticket buyer) from the ticket person (or whom ever sells the tickets at the theater)? Is this a security thing, a cultural thing, or a mixture of both?

Asked by A-nother person almost 11 years ago

That's not in my theater. But I think the glass thing is only if the ticket booth is outside of the building? All of the theaters I've gone too have the booth inside and none had glass, so that's my guess.

It's definitely a security thing. Sometimes it does have a nostalgic effect but the glass is to protect the vendor.
