10 Things They Don't Tell You About Working In A Cinema
3. You'll Hear The Same 3 Jokes
"...it's funny, you're a funny guy." - Henry Hill, Goodfellas
All customer service jobs require a degree of polite laughter and fake smiles. Cinemas are no exception. You'll find yourself coming into contact with some right comedians in the course of your working day. So you may as well familiarise yourself with the three jokes that you'll be hearing regularly.
"If that's a small, I'd hate to see a large!" - What's really hilarious about this particular joke is that the person has just paid upwards of £5 for a 'small' box of reheated popcorn. How small would they like it to be for such an eye-watering price? And if they truly were presented with a 'small' box, wouldn't they also be the first to complain about the extortionate prices?
"I'll need to remortgage my house to pay for that" - Aye mate, sure. You need to put your home at risk and take out a second mortgage to pay for the 4 large popcorns, 4 Cokes, 2 hotdogs, 2 ice cream sundaes and a large nachos that nobody forced you buy.
"On a seat?" - I asked where you'd like to sit, not what you'd like to sit on. Now I'm going to put you right in the front row for the latest Michael Bay explosion-a-thon, maybe the eye strain and migraine will teach you a lesson.
