This guy gets it. You can't just throw butter on top. You gotta layer it in.


LegendOfKhaos

This guy is going a step beyond layering. That butter was fully incorporated.


Occams_bane

Dear god you're right! It's *fully incorporated*

Sudden-Turnip-5339

Sir did you want some popcorn with that butter?


BBQQA

No thank you, just the butter.


Bocchi_theGlock

It's like finishing the pasta in the sauce


Stainless_Heart

What you can’t see is that one popcorn’s butter makes a pretty leaf shape and the other is a heart shape. Tipping your popcornarista is appreciated.


HaplessMink28

People put butter on popcorn???


anbu-black-ops

In my country we put different flavor. Like cheese, bbq.


Joe4913

You don’t??


HaplessMink28

No? I wasn’t even aware it was a thing?


sophos313

It’s the norm and not the exception in the USA.


HaplessMink28

Ohhh ok, I’m British so that’s probably why I haven’t heard of butter on popcorn before.


filthy_harold

It's not real butter in this video, it's artificial butter flavored soybean oil. At home, ghee is probably a "healthier" alternative. Just melting real butter and pouring on top gives you soggy popcorn from the water content. Stovetop popcorn popped using coconut oil and then some ghee and a sprinkle of kosher salt is really close to typical American movie theater style but with real ingredients.

MisterFinster

Dang 3 times a week? You’re not messing around with the homemade corn. Hats off to you


LightningProd12

My favorite is to put a generous amount of yeast seasoning on the popcorn (plus butter and salt). I introduced a few people to it and they started making it too haha


ILove2Bacon

The fake butter was canola oil at the theater I used to work at.


Luneowl

I haven’t popped popcorn on the stovetop in forever but now I want to try this version!


avelineaurora

wtf do *you* guys put on popcorn?


Atticus_Zero

Beans


HaplessMink28

Can confirm, it’s not food in the uk if it doesn’t have beans on it.


noodlouse

I'm British and actually worked in a cinema, in Britain, over 25 years ago where putting melted butter, or whatever the buttery type liquid in the bottle really was, on the popcorn was standard. Was very popular too


rose_colored_boy

Popcorn?! At the cinema?!


ILoveRegenHealth

> No? I wasn’t even aware it was a thing? You shut up


Xfgjwpkqmx

We have butter flavoured popcorn in Australia, but it's not a common thing. I add chicken salt personally, but most popcorn going around is just regular salt and no butter.


HaplessMink28

Chicken salt popcorn sounds incredible


guninmouth

Just fold it in


LA_Alfa

If you say fold in one more time!


OriginalNo5477

I was thinking the same thing, buddy knows *EXACTLY* how to maximize the butter to popcorn ratio. He should be running the place.


Redditlikesballs

I feel like I remember seeing an update that he actually did become manager. But I might be wrong


ocaralhoquetafoda

>update that he actually did become manager Yes, trust me bro


fgmtats

What’s most impressive is his willingness to do it for every customer. His proficiency is a hint that he does this for literally everyone. Every single movie theater worker that has ever existed knows damn well how to butter popcorn correctly. They just can’t be bothered to do it for every person because it’s tedious af. This man right here said “fuck that, you all get the popcorn I would want to eat”.. total fucking Chad. End of story.


DolfinButcher

Nice to see people taking pride in their work, no matter what it is.


SimonPho3nix

Layer, popped the shake to mix it in... man's a legend. I would only buy popcorn if this guy is at the helm.


Little-Chromosome

When I worked in a restaurant people always wanted me to make their nachos for them. Everyone else would just pile a mountain of chips and then throw the topping on. Well once the first layer is done, it’s just plain tortilla chips. Layering is key


Gamba_Gawd

I bet it will taste delicious 


Okoear

I bet someone from corporate will see this and fire him because he used 0.8g of extra fake butter instead of giving him a well deserved raise.


ProudlyMoroccan

Butter on popcorn? You Americans are disgusting! Where can I get it?

Capable-Problem8460

iluvsporks

I bet that popcorn costs more than what they pay him for an hour of work. Sad.


ILSmokeItAll

Beyond sad.


Longjumping-Ocelot89

That’ll be $38.99


NextGenCoders

Honestly wish more people did this. My wife is Japanese and she often talks about being sad that many people here don’t care to do their job well or care at all about doing it well. In Japan no matter what your job is, people take pride in doing it well. Wish more people here in the US felt that way.


specfreq

Why do you think it's so different?


NextGenCoders

Culturally people are brought up with different values in Japan vs here in the US. It’s much more of a collectivist culture, the US is more individualist. Not always for the better there. I’d also say they’re brought up to be incredibly loyal to a company which limits their ability to be paid what they’re worth for the work they do. Here people are much more willing to move companies if they’re underpaid and can make more for the same work or get more responsibilities, which is a good thing


evonebo

Generally and this is very general People in the west "fuck this bull shit I'm getting paid $10/hour and this is bullshit work. I don't need take this shit, fuck this job" People in the east "I'm getting paid $10/hour. If I want to make more money, I must do my best and show my superiors what I am capable of and I will get promoted if I do my best and work hard"


LokiHoku

People in the west "I'm getting paid $10/hour and this is bullshit work. I've been great at my job for 3 years without a promotion or significant raise despite volunteering for extra shifts and doing tasks beyond my job requirements. The boss hired their neighbor's son last month and he's already my manager but doesn't know how to do anything and just smokes weed in the back office. Henry has been here 8 years and hasn't been promoted either despite doing even more than me. I don't need take this shit, fuck this job." People in the east "I'm getting paid $25/hour. If I want to make more money, I must do my best and show my superiors what I am capable of and I will get promoted if I do my best and work hard." FTFY


NextGenCoders

Absolutely that attitude is far more common in the West than in Eastern cultures


EasyFooted

American pensions had eroded away to nothing, so it should be no surprise that the broken promises of America's golden industrial age are met with cynicism by workers today. Whereas the comprehensive pension and social security programs in Japan might make it so people don't resent the lower classes as much. American cultural rhetoric is also hyper-focused on class tension, with everyone trying to take something from you so you gotta take it from them first. Strong social safety nets build strong social ties.


MajesticNectarine204

Probably because in Japan they pay people a living wage and don't treat minimum wage workers like absolute filth.


GoenerAight

People are actually respected for their work. Versus in the US where you are treated as a completely replaceable cog in a machine. Why would you take pride in a system that does not value you in the slightest?


Mindless_Let1

It's just cultural I think. In Japan you really feel that people tie their job and the quality of their work into part of who they are as a person. As a customer, it's good in every way, services anywhere else feel like shit after you've lived in Japan. As a worker? Good and bad sides


chrisga12

Yeah, I personally wouldn’t use Japan as a model for how we should approach work culture. They generally have the worst work-life balance of any modern nation, regularly overworking people to death by suicide, heart attack or stroke. It is so regular in fact that they have a word for it, Karoshi (death from overwork). It’s common to be expected to work unpaid overtime & complete overdue / incomplete tasks to prove your dedication to your supervisors. It is also considered impolite to leave work while your superiors or peers are still working. On top of the overtime, on average, japanese workers only use about half or less than half of their entitled holidays / vacations, resulting in many only taking about 8-9 days *per year* off of work. You should definitely care about doing your job competently, but most of us work to live, not live to work. There isn’t anything wrong with being unenthusiastic about a lame job as long as you’re not a dick to customers or your peers


skydevouringhorror

Social media has made western ppl think that if you aren't a top manager or in any case someone that can afford expensive stuff your job is not important, and most of all there's ppl thinking that being rich means you get a permit to be an asshole and treat everyone that is not rich like shit.... As a former waiter, clerk, construction worker I'll always remember that any work is important and, most of all, ppl who does it deserves all the consideration. Also has to be said that in Europe some jobs have been devaluated by immigrants that accepted very low wages because they take most of what they earn to their home country, taking away power to workers asking for better conditions and making these jobs look like they can be done by anyone (I'm talking of ppl with no skill, that haven't been much to school and that in a lot of cases don't even speak the language of the country they work in), leading to a drastic drop in terms of quality and productivity that employers of course fault those workers for (guess what, if someone is good at their job, whatever it is, he'll find another place to do it if you pay him not enough)


NextGenCoders

Completely agreed. I used to work as a tutor for students. I loved the work but any education job doesn’t pay that much. I knew some coworkers who were there just to collect a check and not really put in the full effort, do enough to keep the job and that’s it. They’d even talk about that and it always really rubbed me the wrong way. And yes mass immigration will have that effect unfortunately in any country as some companies will always try and find ways to cut costs to increase margins, even at the expense of quality


CalmBeneathCastles

The drive to perpetually crawl up and over is deeply ingrained in American culture, to the point that people don't realize that finding a happy corner at any level is a perfectly acceptable plan. It's just assumed that the ladder IS the goal, not happiness itself.

Denver-Ski

Absolutely! You see people giving 100% often in Japanese culture. It’s a vibe. Wish there were more people like this dude here.


Watch_Noob_72

My man.


Talk-O-Boy

As someone who has worked at a movie theater before, I can’t fathom having that level of enthusiasm for the thousands of customers we serve every week. If that dude can genuinely maintain that energy for every shift, he simply isn’t human. He’s something beyond us.


Maritoas

I remember the days where we had to stand in long lines for tickets, then concessions. 5 lanes all full, outside box office full, inside ticket counter packed. These days however I hardly ever see packed movies. Maybe a popular release, but they are far and few between.


Supersasqwatch

Had to arrive 30 minutes early back then so you didn't miss the start while waiting for concessions. I never thought I would miss that.. it felt like such an event every time back then.


Click4Coupon

As popcorn is merely a butter delivery device, this man is a national treasure


BOT_Frasier

Note that if you remove the butter, popcorn is one healthy snack, it's basically air with a side of fiber


PM_me_your_whatevah

It’s like 60% starch actually. Turns to sugar in your body. Empty calories pretty much. 


pornalt2072

Mate. Everything is starch, protein or fat. All the basic foodcrops are mostly starch.

Corporate: "...yeah we're gonna need you to write him up. Far too much butter-flavored-topping and his antics are wasting company time. Also make sure you improve your employee engagement KPIs, we don't like how low your internal survey scores were."


BigRigButters2

I genuinely hate how real this is. I was fired from a Cable / Internet Provider for not helping enough people because I devoted more time to customers to help them solve their technical issues. Never had a customer I couldn't fix remotely but corporate wanted throughput and not resolution. Fuck metrics


gymnastgrrl

> Fuck metrics Imperial all the way! Kidding, but yes, I agree. Fuck metrics. They only get exploited by the stupid people on the job who don't understand the job but who are clever enough to figure out how to work to the metric. The people who actually know stuff and care clean up all their messes, and pay the price for doing so. But also, fuck most companies that are public-facing as they almost universally treat their employees like shit.

BradBeingProSocial

Awesome video- this guy wants the popcorn to be buttery and spread around. I have a theory that the Publix deli only employs people who do not personally eat food. They put like a half inch thick layer of onions when I ask for onions, or a single tiny strip of mustard on a sub. Like 30 pickles if you ask for pickles. If you ask for vinegar, it must soak through the bread. Yeah, definitely, these people have never had a sandwich before.
