Luxury Movie Theater

Probably because people spend less money on travel and restaurants, movies become more popular these days. Sales are up to $10.6 billion. The trends are: we see more 3D movies; restaurants in a theater location often offer dinner-movie specials. Now, consumers can even enjoy “luxury experience” in theaters.

As reported in the video, Boston introduced a high-end movie theater in August 2008. In addition to luxury seating, consumers can request service from waiter and waitress during movies. USA Today also discussed the luxury trend of theaters. Developers are building more luxury dine-in movie theaters. This “dine-in” concept has been tested in Australia and Singapore, which attract 2.5 million moviegoers a year ($35 each). Amenities in some luxury theaters include adult-only clubs, lounges, and outlets for Hors d’Oeavres.

Luxury theaters create a new experience for consumers. Just because they want to enjoy a movie, they don’t have to give up tasty food and good drink for soda and popcorns anymore. The market of luxury theaters provides another business opportunity for restaurants and the managed services segment.

Would you consider working in a high-end movie theater? As a consumer, would you prefer to watch a movie in a luxury movie theater?

Is It OK for Hotel Staff to Wear Piercings and Tattoos?

Time has changed. I see more and more college students wearing piercings and tattoos nowadays, but is it OK for hotel staff to wear piercings and tattoos? The answer is “no, no, no.” According a report at USAToday.com, customers across the board do not want to see any hotel workers with pierced eyebrow, pierced tongue, tattooed arm, or nose ring. Some may argue that tattooed and pierced workers may seem more acceptable in edgy boutique hotels as compared to the big franchised hotels, but the survey results did not find any differences among a variety of lodging products. Many respondents believe people who wear visible tattoos and piercings are taking a high risk of their professional lives. If you stay in a hotel, do you mind being served by tattooed and/or pierced staff? What if you are the one who makes the hiring decision?

Where Coffee Meets Culture: My Experience with Orientation, Socialization, and Culture at Dutch Bros (by Karina Martinez)

When people think of Dutch Bros, they usually picture colorful drinks, loud music, free stickers, and baristas so friendly they’ll jump in the car with you.  As someone who has had the opportunity to work for Dutch Bros, I can say that the energy customers feel isn’t an act; it is the result of intentional and effective HR practices that are focused on orientation, socialization, and culture. From your very first day, you experience how these practices shape the entire Dutch experience.  Orientation, Socialization, Culture   In HR management, orientation is the introduction of the role and company to new hires. This is intended to help them feel welcomed and informed. Socialization goes beyond the initial training process; it’s how new hires grasp the organization’s values, behaviors, and traditions over time. Together, these fun...

Average/Below-Average Looking People Can Earn as Much as the Attractive Ones

Research has shown that attractive people can not only charm interviewers (and thus get hired easier), they are also more likely to earn more as compared to those with average or below-average looks. Accordingly to a Wall Street Journal report , attractive people can earn 3% - 4% more than a person with below-average look. If such difference adds up over a person’s lifetime, an attractive person can earn up to $230,000 more than an ugly worker; even an average-looking person can make $140,000 more. Another relevant Wall Street Journal report also suggests that workers who exercise regularly can earn 9% more than those who do not. If that is the fact (I believe it is), is it legal? Can employers do that? Linchi Kwok and Otto @SyracuseU Career Fair To my knowledge, no law or regulation under EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) considers a person’s look as a protective class. It is true that people in general have an idea of what kind of person they feel attract...
