Enjoy The Film

Mamma Mia opens tonight and the women flood in. They like to make a night of it with their friends so we are busy meeting their needs. For the record there is one man in the screen but he engineers an emergency work call and steps out of the screen for a while.

Correct me if I am wrong but I am here, in this multiplex, to work. To serve you the customer. To sell you an overpriced ticket and then overpriced popcorn and coca cola and smile when we do it. But hey, what is it with these numb nuts we employ who nag me every five minutes for a break.
Hey dude, I don’t care if you’ve not had a break for the last half hour or five hours we’re busy right now! And why do you keep asking me every time you see me? And why do you ask me for a break when the previous supervisor already gave you it? And why do you tell me the previous supervisor said you could have that extra break when I’m now in charge? By the way, don’t even think about applying for Supervisor because we rarely have breaks – we are too busy listening to your whining!

Okay, so we turn up for work knowing our shift says we are here till 12 midnite, “close”, whenever. So why negotiate it down and piss off everyone else who stays? It beggars belief. So there is no one in a screen means you can go home early? Go and help your colleagues you schmuck! You’ve been put on yet another “close?” Go talk to the manager who put you on it a week ago like you should have done before you started your shift. My heart bleeds for you especially since I will get 3 ½ hours sleep before I am up for work again.

And remember to smile.
