A Night at the Movies!

My husband and I went to see a movie recently. A rare occasion since he is a medical intern but a much enjoyed past time of ours! I am not planning on making this particular blog my personal movie reviewer so I won’t say things like National Treasure was a good date flick or P.S. I love you was a real tear jerker. I will leave that up to the millions of other bloggers out in cyber space.

What I will tell you though (hold on to your chair! Some free knowledge ahead!!) is that I noticed a few things during my premovie food hording event, when my husband and I purchased our vat of diet coke and our barrel of popcorn…Let me just pose a question to all theaters at this point, where are you getting your beverages from? Iran? Because Coke does not have to cost the same or higher than oil! Costco can probably help you out on lowering those costs. Just a side thought to help out the millions who cannot do without food or drink for a 2 to 3 hour flick (like me!).

Ok, back to my thoughts during the purchase. I had two thoughts: 1.) Never place a used dust pan on the top of a counter where the theater food is served (ingenuous I know) 2.) A lot of time and effort is spent training employees. Why did I have these particular thoughts you ask.

Well thought number one spawned from a (what looked to be very seasoned) employee placing a dust pan on top of the counter in between the popcorn machine and the oh so gourmet hot dog rotisserie. I am not going to mention that he did not wash his hands after cleaning what I am sure was an already spotless floor in the theater concession area or that it was a Regal Theatre because we love the Regal!

On to thought number 2. (Please try and hold all applause until the end of the blog, thank you in advance for your consideration.) All employees need training at some point whether it is new employee training, to fulfill OSHA requirements, or continued employee upkeep. Here is where MBL (please read previous blog titled “Shiftwork” for an explanation on this abbreviation and again you are welcome) can make training your employees or you; easier, faster, more efficient and (why are still reading this blog when you could be making your life easier, faster and more efficient by going to MBL’s, www.microburstlearning.com, site to find out more!) thorough.

Oh yeah, I bet you are thinking she never let me know why she started thinking about employee training in the concession line. I promise never to leave you hanging again. Remember the employee with the dust pan? Well he was training a new employee, which really made me think about our refresher courses!
