To all fellow cinema employees: good luck. Today is the busiest day of the year for us.

Now I'm having flashback to when I worked at a theater in a major city. I commuted from out of state to work there cause it was an indie theater and I believed in the company when I first started.

Then it slowly chipped away at my humanity. The way theaters are ran is no less than Draconian. And if you aren't getting shit on by management, there's always a disgruntled customer around the corner.

I gave my blood and sweat to this place for years. I had to quit because they were going to fire me for being late by a minute for the third time in a year. They didn't care that I took a bus from out of state and it was a 3 hour round trip for me to work a minimum wage job. It was my responsibility to arrive on time, but you try dealing with NJ Transit and the MTA and then try to believe that your commute in your control.

5 years of loyalty and servitude for what? Fuck that place man. After everything I did for them and they gotta shrug at me and go "Well it's policy..."

I'm pretty sure drinking on the job and fucking your staff isn't policy but whatever. Management gets away with fucking murder.
