/biz/ - Business & Finance

I work in a cinema and im starting to feel really bad working behind concessions.

I sold an old woman and her grandaughter 2 small popcorns and 2 small drinks for 23 dollars yesterday. I was so embarrassed by the price I didnt even say it out loud I just motioned her to the card reader. She muttered under her breath "Hold on im being bullied" to her granddaughter as she was talking to her because she was probably dumbfounded by the price but she walked off anyway. She might have thought I was scamming her.

Later on some woman started shouting at me because her 2 drinks and a popcorn was nearly 20 dollars. I just told her I dont make the prices I just work here and she calmed down and walked off but it does wear you down.

The large popcorn and drinks seem more reasonable because you get a big bucket of popcorn so I tried to tell the older woman to get a larger size but she said no so I handed over a tiny bit of popcorn and a tiny drink x2 for 22 dollars.

People are becoming less and less enthusiastic working the retail part of the business and I think this is why. You see people die inside realising they're spending so much money on so little. You cant justify it and feel like youre robbing naive people not knowing they're about to get scammed by the prices
