    I just wish the internet was around back then so I could bootleg movies.

    That would've been a piece of cake the last 2 years I was there 'cause I was the assist mgr(with all the keys) and knew how to thread-up and run the projectors.(I used to have private screening parties for my friends after hours)

    I got the job with the help of my marketing teacher at school.

    Fast food work sucked back then and is even worse now.

    good luck
    I'm in high school right now, and I work at a movie theatre, and its great!

    Minimum wage is $2.85 for you? I make 10 cents more than minimum wage here ($6.75).

    But yeah, free movies (me and 3 friends anytime)! My brother keeps the ticket stubs, and its $10 a movie, I've saved over $500 on movies alone! Then there is the downtime, girls, celebrities that come. Everything is cool, box office, concession, and hell, even cleaning is great! People forget money, cell phones, video games/music CD's they buy from Tower Records, and just leave it in the theatres.

    Umm, yes minimum wage in the united states was $2.85 in the US.

    It was 1981.

    Although technically min wage was $3.35, there was a provision in the law that stated kids my age can be paid min wage minus .50¢ per hour. That is if you didn't work more then 40 hours a week.

    Supposed to save businesses money or something.

    Still a good gig. Paid for gas, beer, smokes, pretty much anything I wanted.

    Plus, I used to sell the candy from school at the inflated prices of a movie theater. Since I counted the money at night, I just took my share of the differences in prices. For every box of M&Ms (both kinds) I made .50¢.

    good times, good times.
