Movie Tavern by Marcus

Food runner

May 2022 • Covington, LA

What I liked

Managers and most of the other workers were very nice and always willing to help. Fun place to work with good benefits (free movies, drinks, and discounted food).

What I wish was different

Working in different areas. Mostly did the same job everyday, some variation would've been nice.

Advice

This is a great first job and summer job. Just expect to work late when you have the afternoon shift.

What I liked

I liked the casual work atmosphere, and my coworkers were fun people to work with.

What I wish was different

I wish we hadn't been so understaffed all the time, and I wish the managers would have been on the same page at the same time. I also feel like I didn't get paid enough, even with tips.

Advice

Figure out what strategies work best for you, as this is a very fast-paced work environment where quick decisions need to be made.

What I liked

It is a different experience as a server because it is also a movie theater and restaurants, so the insight into the difficulties of a job like this makes me relate to others who would trouble to make it with low wage jobs.
