What does a Box Office Teller do?

A box office teller position is a pretty popular position.  It's the first face a patron typically see's.  So you could either help start there experience off on a great start or kill there mood right from the get go.  Happy people spend more money.

Duties include:

• friendly
  
• reliable (show up when you are scheduled please)
  
• use a calculator (add up ticket costs and subtract promotions)
  
• not afraid to ask for help

Typically we have two shifts. A morning shift which is 9am-5pm (4) and an evening shift 10:30am-6:30pm (3).  The three evening people will help setup and open the second box office with the assigned Box Office Head Teller.

What does a Change Runner do?
A change runner is a very important job.  You will have in your position a certain amount of small denomination money (1's, 5's and quarters).  You get assigned a group of booths in one area and it will be your job to listen for a request for change (example you'll here on your radio/walkie talkie: "Booth 102 needs change", you will bring your bag with 1's, 5's and quarters to booth 102 and you'll see they are out of 1's or 5's so for example you give them $100 in one's from your bag and you take $100 in big bills from them and place this $100 in your bag so the amount that is in your bag NEVER changes.  It never goes up and never goes down because you are just exchanging small bills for big bills.  When your bag becomes mainly large bills or you are unable to make change anymore, you go to the money room and swap bags.

Duties include:

• reliable
  
• basic math skills
  
• able to handle walking alot
  
• common sense a plus (if the money room has no more fives, tell the booths asking for fives that we are all out and that 5 ones equals a five dollar bill)
