How to survive boring jobs?

I just got hired at a movie theatre and it's one of the less busy ones in the city. In between cleaning theatres, there's really not much to do.

How do people survive in these jobs? I'm trying to find a servers job currently and I've been having a hard time because everyone wants someone with experience.

This isn't my first job by any means I've had quite a few at this point in my life, but I'm not sure how long I'm going to last here.
