I'm hungry too

I've been up for nearly two hours as well got up early with daughter to do her pack lunch for work, she works at the cinema and she's been doing stupid hours this week because of the new bond film, who goes to the cinema at this time on a saturday morning

Summer and Aimee, you're a pair of early birds! Which mad people go to the cinema at stupid o'clock?!

 

I love going to the cinema early morning, you beat all the crowds.

Going to see the new Bond film in the morning next Friday.

There must be loads of mad people, it's been sold out yesterday and today, she's been working 9am till 9pm and then they asked her to stay till 11pm

There is that I suppose

 

 

 

Where I live we have two large multiplex (including IMAX & 3D) cinemas. Wednesday - Sunday it's a nightmare to go to them, parking is near impossible. I have found that if I need to go to cinema in the evening on those days I pre-book tickets and arrive early to secure a parking spot as someone else leaves.

 

I must say I would love a job working in a cinema, the vibe in them is so good. I know that the people are there to do a job of work. Do they get discount tickets?

This is a part time job as she is at college, she's been there just over a year now and loves it (especially since she turned 18 and her wage went up) the only probably with the job is where it is, it's on like an industrial estate and by car it's about 15 mins away but by bus it's an hour. she's on the popcorn stand and some of the prices are I think it's 2 free tickets a week she gets

 

That sounds like a great part-time job, mine was working in a butcher's shop Fri/Sat, although the money was very good.

 

Two free tickets, nice. Do you get to see many films with her?

 

The travel sounds a bit of a pain though.

 

I know what you mean about the food/drink prices. I tend to not buy anything but go for a meal after or before as an added treat.

 

She usually takes her boyfriend with her to use her free tickets. Most people spend about £30 on food and drinks she got told off last week for putting too much popcorn in the tubs at that price I would hope the tub was full, some of the mangers do seem to be up themselves, the traveling is a pain but she normally creeps round her grandad to get a lift home

Before I got my job with the NHS I worked as a Cashier in a cinema for a year....and yes, we got free or discounted tickets.

Tuesdays in our local cinemas are mental.  They only charge £3 a ticket so most people go on that day.

 

Snacks are ridiculous though.....suppose that's where they're making their money.

"The Popcorn Crusade" and the hero is George Galloway.He has put down an Early Day Motion in Parliament,

That Independence Day was on the tellybox last night. The last time I went to the cinema, on a rainy day in St. Austell, it was brand new.

That's crazy I never buy any food or drink in the cinema, far too expensive

One bloke had 5 kids with him and his bill came to £70, I would have fainted

Crikey Aimee your daughter is certainly working hard! I hope she gets some rest too I had no idea the cinema ever opened that early I would probably go early, especially if it meant avoiding the crowds!

She never stops, she's just done a 12 hr shift and now she's gone clubbing she's doing a fun run as well this week to help towards her charity work in Gambia in January. They had a red carpet and an Austin Martin at the cinema today and she took 2 grand on her till alone
