I was a manager there in the 80’s. Yes, I did eat at the jack in the box and live. Yes, I did set the record for pulling beers off customers coming in. I did sit in the back one night and drink confiscated beer with a cheerleader. I was part of the group that hacked the video games so we could play them for free during the midnight showings. I did survive the endless showings of ET with 10,000 vomiting children endlessly. It was such a cool job, but paid nothing and they (Sack) worked us management as dogs. A vacation day meant we worked harder- and did not get another day off. Ah the fresh popcorn, Ah the weird pinkish lemonadey drink, ah the concession stand girls in those short polyester dresses….
When it was pulled down I went out one night and just for fun walked the remaining cement floor. I could still see the entire complex and walked around with my eyes closed. I still have my Sack ties. I wear them once in a while when I go to movies. I recently found a wad of free passes I had absconded with to give to friends, but must have forgotten about.
I do miss the place. It had some good seating 3 and 4.
