Ah yes, the unexpected summer hit of 1996. Our general manager has under staff that opening day, she compared it to the year b4. I was the opening mgr, had 1 staff at the box window and 2 at concession. We had lines everywhere plus lines outside for the next showing. I will never 4get that day.
For real PT! I had been hired a few month before. I hadn't seen those crowds. It was ruff, tried calling staff in and since it was July 4th holiday no one wanted to come in to help out. It was crazy. Trying to help out box them concessions, setting up lines outside for next show. $$$ coming in
Haha, I had forgotten about those interlocking theatre's, we did it for Jurassic Park, and the film broke! Film on the floor, everybody wanted their money back at the end for the film they missed. I was handing out free passes like crazy.
