We've all been stuck with that one class that starts at 7:30 a.m. or 8:00 a.m. and we just think to ourselves how utterly ridiculous that classes start that early?!

We've all been through a situation like this and they usually never ended well.

15 Rules of Etiquette You Should Follow At The Movie Theater

Jake Hills on Unsplash

This summer I decided I needed to take on another job, so I started working at the local movie theater. It's been an experience, to say the least.

The coworkers became an immediate family, and I now have the perks of free movies, popcorn and drinks, as well as employee showings. The job, while not hard, is draining. Between the customers, long hours, late nights, and unpredictable schedules, the job can leave a lot to be desired.
