well, that's a stretttttttttttch, if they had enough "work hard" tickets, they could exchange those for "movie posters", of course all the popular ones were taken by the managers.
I also disagree with management that they don't even give the kids gloves when they "cup" (clean the theatre after a showing/before the next one). Those kids have to pick up junk left from patrons without gloves. In this day and age of nasty diseases, this is outrageous.
I worked for a super large national chain in the 80's and we had to "cup" the theatre (6 plex then) and run into the concession without washing our hands. I was the only one who washed my hands and I was told not to everytime a manager saw me do it.
my son is much happier at his new job, he only makes minimum wage there too, but no upselling, he's works retail and he's there to help the customer.
I was kidding. I've worked in movie theaters myself in my younger days. Though not concessions.
