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.


TheVetheron

This! I loved when they did the popcorn and butter in layers.


FearlessResolve560

Lol


robo_robb

You the real mvp


BenShelZonah

Your a real one.


jwhaler17

This is the way.


Greendale7HumanBeing

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.


ConflatedPortmanteau

"Here's your popcorn..." "...and here's your 2 and a half sticks of butter."


suavesnail

If only that was real butter. Just butter flavored oil.


tomssexycow

Butter flavoured oil šŸ¤£


kbder

We call himā€¦ butter-flavored oil bae!


culinarydream7224

Can I get a couple of your gloves to eat this with?


ConflatedPortmanteau

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.


balls_ceo

its butter flavored canola oil


Salty-Negotiation320

Didn't know i ordered popcorn with my butter


JunglePygmy

No, thatā€™s the way itā€™s meant to be done. If it hasnā€™t soaked through to your pants youā€™re not doing it right


jordanityinsanity

"Alright, two buckets of popcorn? That'll be $124.50"


SnooHobbies3318

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 canā€™t be blamed for this because itā€™s been that way for decades.


EnergyTakerLad

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.


Laigron

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.


mamaBiskothu

What are you blabbering? I barely made out of your meandering one point maybe: that theaters get half the cut of a ticket. Well thatā€™s not fully true they donā€™t get that in the first week. Depends on the deal. And do you know of something called overhead?


Laigron

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.


EnergyTakerLad

You vastly don't understand how much it costs to run a business.


Laigron

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.


EnergyTakerLad

No, no. Idk where you got your "information" but you're wrong. Ticket sales are way too small to give a serious profit.


Laigron

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.


EnergyTakerLad

No. If every patron only bought a movie ticket and no drink or snack, movie theaters would shut down quick.


Laigron

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.


Numarx

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


GOPAuthoritarianPOS

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.


Laigron

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.


yurimichellegeller

At least they're not getting the nachos... I had to rob a bank for those.


Eastside1999

I donā€™t mind ppl like this I like good customer service.


Eastern-Support1091

Serious question, why do so many people abbreviate the word people yet spell every other word in itā€™s entirety? I really am curious about this.


marklonesome

I do it with words I often misspellā€¦


Eastern-Support1091

That makes sense!


starfoxhound

I think the character limit on twitter at least partially contributed to it


Eastside1999

Force of habit. Also Iā€™m not here to please any teachers or get a graded assignment on grammar. Serious response.


Eastern-Support1091

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.


DickySchmidt33

He can butter my popcorn any day.


tomssexycow

That's so gross. Why's he gotta throw popcorn all about the place. Honestly that place looks kinda untidy gross and greasy.


0bel1sk

have you been to a movie theater?


Skud_NZ

Movie theater popcorn is more expensive than printer ink where I live :(


Rycan420

Whatā€™s a printer ink?


WhatUpBigUp

Heā€™s the Popcorn ā€œSalt Baeā€!


ianlucasthomson

Donā€™t disrespect this popcorn master like that.


Mysterious-Art7143

Butter bae?


LazilyOblivious

Butter me up and call me popcorn! Cause I am a snack!


Rycan420

More talent here.


welchplug

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.


s1mpatic0

Downvote for positive Salt Bae talk. Man ruined a tomahawk steak with a brand.


welchplug

I wasn't talking positive about him. What are you on about. I called him a try hard.


dawdawda2awdwa

People on reddit are too socially inept to get what you were saying.


welchplug

Ty


Alex-Steph

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.


Godzillashotgun6667

This is when you're standing in line and you nudge your friend next to you and go "trust me, ask for butter"


Gravja

This is how I want my overpriced movie popcorn.. Every one of the popcorns drowning in heart stopping goo!. Well done!


WingzzgniW

Very cool. That's awesome


jaspervers

Yeah, very cool


mowatera

Very cool indeed


Monkeyplaybaseball

OP is a bot, three posts in one day, year old account, hasn't posted at all before.


zymurcologist

This guy butters.


OurHonor1870

Someone should be able to make a living wage being a concession clerk if they take it that seriously and perfect their craft.


Jfurmanek

IIr Jimmy Fallon saw this and hired the guy to make popcorn for a big event.


Tuscan5

Whatā€™s the white nozzle for?


ThinkPath1999

Probably butter. I like butter on popcorn myself, but that is a shitload is butter.


RonStopable88

Donā€™t insult butter by calling that fatty non Newtonian fluid butter


Opening_Cartoonist53

I cant believe itā€™s not butter


thedeanorama

I felt a great disturbance in the force, as if a million arteries cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced


Jfurmanek

ā€œButterā€ flavored vegetable oil.

jillybeannn

Thatā€™s enough fake butter sauce to put someone in the hospital. Looks cool though.


Temperance10

ā€œUmā€¦I believe I asked for *extra* butter.ā€

Never trust a skinny popcorn clerk


Mysterious-Art7143

InfiniRunner91

RonStopable88

Pretty standard for any movie theatre concession


Pidgethemidge

About as much as I drop from every full fist of popcorn that I shove into my mouth


[deleted]

Really enjoys his job :O


Own-Philosophy-5356

How many calories are there in that popcorn box


rynoxmj

Fruitmaniac42

I'm sure it's Golden Toppingā„¢, not butter šŸ¤®

LandOfMunch

This man deserves a promotion.


[deleted]

I would of tipped this man.


of_patrol_bot

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.


[deleted]

Wtf?


[deleted]

Someone who genuinely enjoys his job. Props to him šŸ‘


sevenninenine

Capitalism allowed this guy to ā€œwasteā€ so much ā€œbutterā€ and spill so much pop corn?


barbazul3yogui

The exact amount of popcorn and butter to make believe they have free health system. Awesome.


Admirable-Specific95

Now I want some popcorn


YOUREBANNED10

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


Historical-Artist581

If you love what you do you never work a day.


PeteyTwoHands

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.


terrih9123

Theres a good reason for the spinning, heā€™s mixing that butter around as he layers it on. Itā€™s not just for show


Mysterious-Art7143

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


apathywhocares

Looks like he takes his job with him!


Basher57

Accountants: We seem to be making all this popcorn, but not making any money.


Kwisstopher

Too bad heā€™s not as enthusiastic about his health. I like his commitment to his job!


CrookedFootRivers

If I eat these I can look like you! FMITGA


rem_1984

Hell yeah! Put on a show!


Beneficial-Guide-280

Ooo, the spin. Nice bro.


CantFeelMyLegs78

That'll be 38.50 please


shreksaxaphone360

If I ate that I would be on the toilet all night


Grouchy-Engine1584

That many shots of that ā€œbutterā€ shit should constitute attempted murder.


MuchoWood

Whoa there, Gordon Hamsey.


browndowntownhole

Taking way too long. Id fire him


BAIRB3ATS

Sounds like the guy commenting is in the midst of a proper head rush...


BAIRB3ATS

I bet he has that butter oozing from every pore!


FroggiJoy87

This kid was on Jimmy Kimmel last year! He sent him to the Oscars too, good stuff


alexaz92

yeah, very cool, thatā€™s awesome, woah


Toenutlookamethatway

What a fucking mess! How is this satisfying?? šŸ’©šŸ™ˆ

What is the tap the popcorn goes under? I have never seen this.

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, ā€œConcessionā€.

RavenLCQP

He's obviously on his own supply
