Ran the box office at x rated place near airport in Richmond while in

school. Was a grate job cause I got paid for about 4 hrs every night but only sold tickets for 30-40 minutes. Free popcorn. Could catch part of the movie or study if I had an exam. Some Saturday nights they had all night movies. Worked one or two nights a week and one weekend night just to spell the owner. opened and closed. about '78-'79. No p-ron on the inter webs then so movies were the deal.
