Have you ever been to a movie theater? Duh who hasn’t, right? Well, have you ever worked at one? Probably not. A month ago I was just like you — seeing every movie and, of course, not working at a movie theater. Though after what seems like almost a year, but has only been a month, of working at a movie theater, I have realized not only how crazy people can be but also how rude they are. Listed below are some prime examples of the people we live among for you to rate on the scale of crazy to rude.

1. Concession Stand


1: A customer purchases a refillable tub that he/she then pours into a tote bag they brought from home.
2: “Your prices are so high. Can I get a discount?”

3: A customer walks in with a thing of cheese that looks like it’s been sitting out for days and an uncrumpled popcorn bag. He/She asks “I just dropped my food; can I get some more?”
4: “Can I have a small popcorn but can you only fill it 3/4ths of the way? But once you get to half way out butter in it.”
5: “The volume in the theatre is too loud.”
6: “I decided I don’t want this cup anymore; can I get a refund?”
7: “I don’t feel comfortable watching my movie with a box of toilet paper outside the theater.”

2. Usher

1: Do people ever eat their popcorn because I’ve cleaned up more popcorn than we make.

2: If you’re going to bring your own food in then throw it away instead of leaving it under your chair.

3: If you’re going to have a food fight during your movie please don’t come again.

4: Why get drunk in a movie theater and not throw away the evidence?

5: I clean up way too much popcorn, but that comes nowhere close to how many unused napkins I’ve cleaned up.

6: If the movie is over then leave. At 11pm I do not want to wait on one person to leave the theater just so he can sit through 15 minutes of credits.

3. Guest Services

1: “I didn’t like the movie. I’ll like my money back.”

2: “Is this not AMC North Point?”

3: “Can I get one ticket for Logan at 5:15?” No this is not the box office.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
