    ok in the interview, they will ask you what movies you like, to name 3 movies that are playing right now, hobbies, some mathematical questions, and they will give you situations and what you would do in those situations. This is what they did for me. Just be friendly and just let them hear what they want to hear. This is your first job so its a piece of cake ;)

    Congrats! :D

    I'm sort of afraid to apply for a job where being a cashier is needed. I guess it's the fear of completely screwing up while dozens of people are waiting in line :(

    Working at a movie theater is pretty damn awesome. I worked there for a year, but now I work at Best Buy, LOL. I came to check out the Potter dvds so often they decided to let me recruit. ;)

    I had that same fear dude. Never worked a cash register in my life until I was 23-24 and math was always my worst subject in school.
    When I applied to the theater I still work at 4 and a half years ago I applied only for the usher position because I didn't want to have to deal with customers money and I was afraid of messing up their food and using a register but they told me everyone gets all shifts so I ended up having to do concession as well.
    For the first year I was off 1 - 5 dollars almost every time I had a concession shift, it was always embarrassing though I didn't get that shift that often so it usually ended up being alright. The managers at my theater are pretty lenient as long as you can remember what you did wrong and can explain what happened. It should be noted though that I never got a box office shift because I suspect they didn't trust me with that much money. To get better at it I started practicing without ringing anything up and during transactions just made sure to count all the money that came into contact with my hands, even if it's just 2 or 3 dollars or if there isn't any change to give back and that worked pretty well. Now for the past 2 or 3 years now I'm never off when I sell concession items, I don't make mistakes and they let me take over the box office ticket sales if the person working it has to go on a break. Presently I'm a fast, thorough usher so I hardly get concession shifts anymore. Officially everyone does all shifts, but unofficially they give people the shifts they're best at. I've still never been given a box office shift, either because I'm a boring person for the manager who also works in box to talk to or I suspect just out of habit of the manager that makes the schedule, but I don't really mind. Cleaning theaters makes the day go by faster anyways, and each shift gets paid the same.


    Sorry Kranen, my interview was so long ago I don't really remember what they asked for my interview other than the standard "What are you favorite movies?". Good luck!
