This is a tough time for movie fans of all stripes, but especially those who work in movie theatres. Go easy on us.

I'm an employee at an Australian cinema. This is becoming an increasingly tough time for all of us. Co-workers, my bosses, customers, movie fans, anyone who works in movie production. The works.You've all heard about movies being delayed. It sucks. I know. I'm not trying to be disingenuous, I definitely understand. I want to see these movies as much as I want to sell tickets to customers to see them.But on a deeper level, the lack of availability to these movies means that the core facet of our business is being taken away from us. My employer is doing the best it can to mitigate this, but has conceded that our shifts are going to disappear. In other parts of the world, cinemas can't even open. We're fortunate that - for now - the government here down under isn't mandating we close. 'For now' being the operative words.I suppose what I'm trying to say is that if you're seeing a movie - or able to see a movie in your part of the globe - please make sure you're patient with whoever is working at the candy bar/ticket booth/ushering you. I'm aware we have the mandate, working in customer service, to be as stoic as possible whilst serving you. And in my shifts this week, I know I'll remain my usual self.I'm aware this post is sappy and could be interpreted as condescending. But we're human too. Go easy on us in this uncertain and simply weird time. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/39TDZM9
