I work at a movie theater. I work the concessions but I've worked long enough to know a little something-something about ushering and cashiers. And a little bit of what managers do. Ask me anything!

how old do you have to be to go to a movie theater by yourself

Asked by Person almost 11 years ago

There really isn't a policy on how old you have to be to see a movie by yourself in general.  Just on the movies themselves.  Like,  you can't have an underage person watch a rated R movie by themselves.  But you can have a 7 yr old or whatever watch a pg movie alone.  A lot of parents do that seeing as they don't always want to watch a kids movie with them And they'll watch another movie that just gets out at the same time as the kids one

This may seem random but why is there typically a glass panel separating you (the ticket buyer) from the ticket person (or whom ever sells the tickets at the theater)? Is this a security thing, a cultural thing, or a mixture of both?

Asked by A-nother person over 11 years ago

That's not in my theater. But I think the glass thing is only if the ticket booth is outside of the building? All of the theaters I've gone too have the booth inside and none had glass, so that's my guess.

It's definitely a security thing. Sometimes it does have a nostalgic effect but the glass is to protect the vendor.

What happens if a 21 year old gets a minor in a rated r movie but then leaves when she gets him in?

Asked by taylor almost 11 years ago

Well if the minor ever gets up to get food or whatever, they cannot go back in without the adult. If the adult with the ticket is not present, they have to leave.

No refunds, thanks

What is a role of an usher

You're expected to clean. This includes spills, theaters, sometimes puke, take out the trash, show people their seats,  ect... If you're of age,  you can do other cool stuff like change the signs,  or uh... shovel the snow. ..
