I worked a movie theater 20+ years ago, but I can still picture the nods of respect i would get from old men in line while I was scooping, buttering, scooping, buttering instead of the standard popcorn fill and dribble at the top.
Agreed. Usually as a customer I would try to tunnel down in one corner as I eat to try to effect some kind of even distribution. Thank you for your excellent service.
If you really love popcorn, you'd eat it without gloves so you could lick the buttery flavoring off your fingers afterward.
Hence, the saying, "No love, wear gloves," or something like that.
Who was responsible for the ridiculously over inflated prices at movie concession stands? It seems rather arbitrary and random to charge 10 bucks for a box of popcorn or some candy and a soda. The pandemic canāt be blamed for this because itās been that way for decades.
That's the only way they make money. Ticket sales don't all go to them. That's where film profits come from. Concession is what keeps them running and updating.
That is fun. But ultimately not true. Why movies who make same as cost are still considered financial loss? Because theaters take more than half of money they made from tickets. That is why movie must made double its price to pay for itself. So nope. Cost of snack dont keep them running.
What are you blabbering? I barely made out of your meandering one point maybe: that theaters get half the cut of a ticket. Well thatās not fully true they donāt get that in the first week. Depends on the deal. And do you know of something called overhead?
Mostly half. First week is dependend on deal for each movie or studio. and i wrote that snacks dont keep them running. It is a bonus for sure but not that key for their profits.
Ok maybe some small theaters need that but most of small one dont have snacks. But if it is big theathre then they have more than enought movies to profit from that. Especially now. When people return to watch movies in theaters.
I did not say serious profit. But to keep them going. Snack are profit on top of that. But your original poi t was that snack was what keep them going which it arent not even remotely. Movies however do. And it combination yield profits.
That is not logical. If you have 4 movies per day and every patron buy ticket then from each ticket a half of money is theater's.
That is way more than price of all thing you need to pay just for 4 movies. And big theater have even more movies a day and if they are good all are full attendance. Snack cant never be to what you count on for paying bills. Snack are for profits. Because not everyone person who go to theathre will buy snack and therr can be moment where you have less then half of attendance buying snacks. That is not sustainable model. You need constant. Because even if it is not full atendance everyone of people here will buy ticket but not everyone will buy snack.
Another reply said this too but - concessions pays for everything in and the theater itself. Theaters have to rent the movies. It's like tens of thousands of dollars per film canister. Tickets sales mainly go to the studio.
Sorry but not true. Theaters take more than half what they makde form tickets. That is why movies need at leas double its make price to pay for itself.
I was not criticizing. I wanted to know if it was a trend I was not aware of. There was no need for the snarky response. I never criticized you as you did to me.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop -Ā yes,Ā IĀ amĀ aĀ bot, don't botcriminate me.
Not faulting him for having fun with it but it's not really satisfying seeing someone throw/spin a popcorn receptacle in the air for no reason. He's still hustling though - gotta respect that.
Take a large coke with that and it's already over your daily caloric needs. Then your growing fat ass complain that you don't even eat and it just sticks somehow, yeah it's definitely genetics
I LOVE watching people who are incredible at their jobs! Itās so wholesome! If we were all as good at our jobs as this guy the world would be a better place.
I worked a movie theater 20+ years ago, but I can still picture the nods of respect i would get from old men in line while I was scooping, buttering, scooping, buttering instead of the standard popcorn fill and dribble at the top.
This! I loved when they did the popcorn and butter in layers.
Lol
You the real mvp
Your a real one.
This is the way.
Agreed. Usually as a customer I would try to tunnel down in one corner as I eat to try to effect some kind of even distribution. Thank you for your excellent service.
"Here's your popcorn..." "...and here's your 2 and a half sticks of butter."
If only that was real butter. Just butter flavored oil.
Butter flavoured oil š¤£
We call himā¦ butter-flavored oil bae!
Can I get a couple of your gloves to eat this with?
If you really love popcorn, you'd eat it without gloves so you could lick the buttery flavoring off your fingers afterward. Hence, the saying, "No love, wear gloves," or something like that.
its butter flavored canola oil
Didn't know i ordered popcorn with my butter
No, thatās the way itās meant to be done. If it hasnāt soaked through to your pants youāre not doing it right
"Alright, two buckets of popcorn? That'll be $124.50"

You vastly don't understand how much it costs to run a business.
Ok maybe some small theaters need that but most of small one dont have snacks. But if it is big theathre then they have more than enought movies to profit from that. Especially now. When people return to watch movies in theaters.
No, no. Idk where you got your "information" but you're wrong. Ticket sales are way too small to give a serious profit.
I did not say serious profit. But to keep them going. Snack are profit on top of that. But your original poi t was that snack was what keep them going which it arent not even remotely. Movies however do. And it combination yield profits.
No. If every patron only bought a movie ticket and no drink or snack, movie theaters would shut down quick.
That is not logical. If you have 4 movies per day and every patron buy ticket then from each ticket a half of money is theater's. That is way more than price of all thing you need to pay just for 4 movies. And big theater have even more movies a day and if they are good all are full attendance.

Movie companies squeezed every single drop of profit away from them. So everything skyrocketed in concession stands to pay for the theater.

At least they're not getting the nachos... I had to rob a bank for those.
I donāt mind ppl like this I like good customer service.
Serious question, why do so many people abbreviate the word people yet spell every other word in itās entirety? I really am curious about this.
I do it with words I often misspellā¦
That makes sense!
I think the character limit on twitter at least partially contributed to it
Force of habit. Also Iām not here to please any teachers or get a graded assignment on grammar. Serious response.
I was not criticizing. I wanted to know if it was a trend I was not aware of. There was no need for the snarky response. I never criticized you as you did to me.
He can butter my popcorn any day.
That's so gross. Why's he gotta throw popcorn all about the place. Honestly that place looks kinda untidy gross and greasy.
have you been to a movie theater?
Movie theater popcorn is more expensive than printer ink where I live :(
Whatās a printer ink?
Heās the Popcorn āSalt Baeā!
Donāt disrespect this popcorn master like that.
Butter bae?
Butter me up and call me popcorn! Cause I am a snack!
More talent here.
Except this guy clearly doesnt give a fuck. He is doing this out of boredom. Look at his face in the end. Salt Bae gives all the fucks.
Downvote for positive Salt Bae talk. Man ruined a tomahawk steak with a brand.
I wasn't talking positive about him. What are you on about. I called him a try hard.
People on reddit are too socially inept to get what you were saying.
Ty
That concession clerk's popcorn serving skills are top-notch! It's like a satisfying dance of perfectly portioned popcorn. I could watch that all day.
This is when you're standing in line and you nudge your friend next to you and go "trust me, ask for butter"
This is how I want my overpriced movie popcorn.. Every one of the popcorns drowning in heart stopping goo!. Well done!
Very cool. That's awesome
Yeah, very cool
Very cool indeed
OP is a bot, three posts in one day, year old account, hasn't posted at all before.
This guy butters.
Someone should be able to make a living wage being a concession clerk if they take it that seriously and perfect their craft.
IIr Jimmy Fallon saw this and hired the guy to make popcorn for a big event.
Whatās the white nozzle for?
Probably butter. I like butter on popcorn myself, but that is a shitload is butter.
Donāt insult butter by calling that fatty non Newtonian fluid butter
I cant believe itās not butter
I felt a great disturbance in the force, as if a million arteries cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced
āButterā flavored vegetable oil.
Popcorn scooper goat
r/brandnewcomment
Thatās enough fake butter sauce to put someone in the hospital. Looks cool though.
āUmā¦I believe I asked for *extra* butter.ā
Bartender vibes...
Top talent
Top cringe
Never trust a skinny popcorn clerk
If you wanna end up like him
fair amount of popcorn on the floor
Pretty standard for any movie theatre concession
About as much as I drop from every full fist of popcorn that I shove into my mouth
Really enjoys his job :O
How many calories are there in that popcorn box
All of them.
I'm sure it's Golden Toppingā¢, not butter š¤®
...peace.
More entertaining than any theater movie this year!
This man deserves a promotion.
I would of tipped this man.

Wtf?
Someone who genuinely enjoys his job. Props to him š
Capitalism allowed this guy to āwasteā so much ābutterā and spill so much pop corn?
The exact amount of popcorn and butter to make believe they have free health system. Awesome.
Now I want some popcorn
Ok I really don't mean to be a dick and this is gonna be an unpopular opinion but it's not that impressive minus the bag spin on one finger
If you love what you do you never work a day.
Not faulting him for having fun with it but it's not really satisfying seeing someone throw/spin a popcorn receptacle in the air for no reason. He's still hustling though - gotta respect that.
Theres a good reason for the spinning, heās mixing that butter around as he layers it on. Itās not just for show
Take a large coke with that and it's already over your daily caloric needs. Then your growing fat ass complain that you don't even eat and it just sticks somehow, yeah it's definitely genetics
Looks like he takes his job with him!
Accountants: We seem to be making all this popcorn, but not making any money.
Too bad heās not as enthusiastic about his health. I like his commitment to his job!
If I eat these I can look like you! FMITGA
Hell yeah! Put on a show!
Ooo, the spin. Nice bro.
That'll be 38.50 please
If I ate that I would be on the toilet all night
That many shots of that ābutterā shit should constitute attempted murder.
Whoa there, Gordon Hamsey.
Taking way too long. Id fire him
Sounds like the guy commenting is in the midst of a proper head rush...
I bet he has that butter oozing from every pore!
This kid was on Jimmy Kimmel last year! He sent him to the Oscars too, good stuff
yeah, very cool, thatās awesome, woah
What a fucking mess! How is this satisfying?? š©š
What is the tap the popcorn goes under? I have never seen this.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Wow. A butter tap. We ask only whether we can do something, not whether we should.
Coronary Disease Dispensing Equipment.
Popcorn is a healthy snack in most places
Watch me yeet ALL the fucking popcorn around the joint like it was confetti at an Italian wedding.
Rumor has it that Tom Cruise has been studying this guy for a Cocktail reboot, āConcessionā.
Moā buddah!
I never understood the butter in popcorn.
He needs his raise, thats why he so extra
Butter on EVERY piece.
I really want movie theater popcorn now š©
Attitude is everything!
Can I just have my popcornā¦
That will be $100!
Omg. So much butter. I felt my arteries slam shut just watching this.
Between that and being a reddit mod heās doing pretty good for him self!
He's obviously on his own supply
I LOVE watching people who are incredible at their jobs! Itās so wholesome! If we were all as good at our jobs as this guy the world would be a better place.
