Do Janitors on movie sets get upset for when a scene causes the actors to make a mess and they have to come and clean it up?

  I just watched a movie where the girl throws a can in front of the janitor, and he swaps out her invites to a party with directions to a remote location where they kidnap the girls and force them to fight in cage matches.

  And at this point I realize I’ve read the title of this post incorrectly.

  That would be a job for the scene setters, not the custodians.

  I think people largely are not upset by having paid work generated for them, crushed by the monotony but not upset.

    I’m gonna steal this for work. “No, I’m not upset. Crushed by the monotony, yes, but not upset”

  Intention matters a lot. If it’s incidental to the scene and not people intentionally emptying garbage cans on the floor for no reason I’m sure it’s fine?

  Nothing to do with them. That’s the responsibility of the art department.

  You could ask the same question regarding real life crime scene cleanup. Like, would they get upset if they gotta scoop brains and guts off the road?

  Depends how much they’re getting paid…

    I happen to know you are talking major buck for one to go into a home and do it. I think it’s morbid charging for that but I guess everyone has to make a buck.

      The British series “The Cleaner” and the Australian series “Mr. and Mrs. Murder” illustrate a bit of why it’s expensive and discuss a little about why their characters do that job. They’re comedy/mystery shows, so not completely realistic of course.

  I guess it’s what they sign up for

  Contracts with stages are very clear on expectations of how the stage should look when shoots are done.

  If a production company leaves a mess, severe overages are applied and usually stage owners’ or janitors’ friends are hired at top dollar to clean up mess
