Should I work in the theaters or mcdonalds?

Question

im 16 and my mom told me to get a job so yeah i wanna know where do u think i should work at. mcdonalds is closer, i can walk there. and the theaters is far so i gotta take the bus but the theater seems like a cooler place to work at and looks easier. idk about the pay though.

Answer 1

The theatre it best if you really want to communicate with a hot girl or guy. If you're at McDonalds, it's just like "Can I take your order? Ok, so that's one large soda, bla bla bla." Theatre is more talkative. Plus if you are at the Theatre, your friends would most likely be there more often than McDonalds. You can talk and work. MULTITASKING ROCKS! lol. Anyways, yeah. I know I would rather go to the movies with all the girls than go to get a Big Mac.

Answer 2

I can't answer which one is cooler. I hired a person who worked a McD's - he made the most of it and learned skills like taking inventory, hiring scheduling, managing people. He applied those skills and became a very sucessful exec. He probably could have done the same at a theater. A lot of people look at the work - which can be a bore - not the opportunity.

Answer 3

Theater sounds like the cooler job. You get free movies! But don't underestimate the benefit of being able to simply walk to work. However if it was me...I'd go with the movie theater. :)

Answer 4

Mcdonalds. You can learn a lot of things in running a food business. Compared to working in a theatre,

Answer 5

The pay probably isn't much different. I'd apply to both and see who has openings and offers you a job. McDonalds is likely to have more jobs available.

Good luck.

Answer 6

work at the theaters... plus you can prolly get movie tickets for free... mcdonalds is a nasty place to work... all that grease and it's embarassing.... working at a theater is a much more nicer and respectiful place to work! GOOD LUCK!

Answer 7

Theater most definitely.

Answer 8

you should work at the theater,you get more perks and you'd make more money.please don't pick Macdonald you might just leave there obese

Answer 9

dude whatever pays more. if they both pay the same [minimum wage] which they most likely will, go with the theatre.

Answer 10

Here's a short list of "alternative" jobs which you can create to generate income. You deserve to have more job opportunities. Why be restricted to McDonalds or a movie theatre!

1. Learn calligraphy so that you can provide handwritten invitations and thank you notes to prospective wedding parties, birthday celebrations, etc. Seek out clients through wedding planners at nearby churches and temples. A starter calligraphy kit usually runs around $20 and anyone can easily pick up this skill. The going rate is usually $1 per hand addressed item.

2. Become a "poser" who assists wedding photographers in setting and arranging various individuals in group and single photographic positions. "Posers" carry around a sketch book of various sitting and standing poses which consists of onion skin overlays of various wedding pictures bound in albums. Again, contact local wedding photographers and wedding planners, accordingly. The hourly pay is around $10-$12 per hour and you are often invited to attend all dining activities.

3. Seek from your neighbors a gardner position which involves planting, weed removal, plant/tree trimming, light brush clearance. You will be using the neighbor's equipment and tools. Again, do not represent yourself as a lawn mower since there are any number of safety issues involved. A door-to-door solicitation of surrounding neighbors is required and you can charge between $6 to $9 per hour.

4. Offer policing/removal or clearance of trash services to surrounding neighbors which involve trash pickup within nearby residential area. Limit the extent of pickup to small areas and be aware that there are no hazardous terrain or elements involved in this process. Again, a door-to-door solicitation of neighbors is in order. You can charge between $6.75 to $7.50 per hour.

5. Acquire a set of window cleaning tools [a bucket, liquid window cleaner, sponge, squeegee, handle with an extension and a small step ladder] and solicit local businesses for your window cleaning services. However, be careful to limit the height of the window cleaning to no higher than one story. Charge $1 per window panel.

6. Become a proxy/stand-in for neighbors to allow delivery of goods and packages to your home/apartment. Acquire the authority to sign any receipt of incoming packages as an accepting neighbor. Charge $1 per each package handled by you.

7. Consider becoming a restaurant-cafe customer liaison by using your cell phone at restaurants-cafes to coordinate with the hostess to keep track of waiting customers. Whenever there's a very long period of time to activate a waiting list, you want to offer the restaurant your services so that customers do not have to stand around for any lengthy period of time. And when their name/assigned number comes up; you can call the upcoming customer's cell phone to tell them that they can return to the restaurant and be served. The call back fee is usually around $0.50 cents on a per head basis. For example, a couple would be charged $1.00 while children under 6 would not be charged. Placement of a plaque which outlines your fee schedule near the hostess station is sufficient to garner attention of prospective customers who will value your services since they can do other activities outside of the restaurant -- often beyond the range of any inhouse paging system. You realize that everyone has a cellphone and why not take advantage of the connectivity to make the diner's experience worthwhile. The restaurant will also appreciate the added service you are providing as a customer liaison.

8. Why not become a paid feeder servicing the disabled at nearby nursing, convalescent, assisted living/care centers and hospitals. It involves feeding food to patients who are unable to feed themselves. The starting rate is $8.00 per hour. The only downside is that one has to take precautions to wash one's hands after each feeding. A posting of your services [by a business card or flyer] on a reviewable bulletin board would be enough to generate customers. The paid feeder position is one of the fastest growing occupation at this time.

Good luck!
