My first job was at the Rhodes in the summer after 8th grade in 1973. Movies that stand out in my memory were Walking Tall, Blume In Love and Let the Good Times Roll. Ate a lot of Baby Ruths. The manager Mr Kahn tried to get me to get a DA (ducks ass) haircut in the lobby to promote LTGT Roll. I used to pop popcorn in a dungeon behind and below the screen with a medieval contraption in the dark surrounded by rats. We would fill up 10 or more giant 5 foot tall bags with the popcorn and store them upstairs by the office for the week. Then we would bring a bag down to the concession stand and pour some of it into the popper there to make it look like it was fresh popcorn. No joke. Is that legal? Had lots of fun working there, great first job.
