Author Topic: Old People Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 04-07-2000 06:51 PM                     Many customers simply do not realize that each movie is made by a different studio and they must buy a specific ticket so the proper people get their money. I'll bet while the cashier was laughing the customer was saying something like "smart ass little $#!^..."  |  IP: Logged Tom Ferreira Expert Film Handler Posts: 203 From: Conway, NH, USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-08-2000 08:49 AM                     And when they cross over auditoriums, and you explain to them that it's illegal, and why, they still don't understand. The point is, why do people think they can do whatever they want in our theatres, when clear we have rules and policies the same as any other business? The transaction is simple:customer purchases a ticket, maybe some popcorn, views the film, and leaves. No one under 17 admitted to an R-Rated film unless accompanied by a parent-they don't like that, but it our policy. No outside food or beverages-they sneak them in in defiance of our policy. No switching auditoriums-not only is that our policy, but the policy of every movie theatre in the country. We are the Rodney Dangerfield of the service industry.  |  IP: Logged Erika Hellgren Expert Film Handler Posts: 168 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-08-2000 01:14 PM                     You all may hate me for this, but I encourage people to sneak their own food into my theatre, and I will do so until our employees figure out how to keep the place clean enough to not attract mice and other disease spreading critters (which will never happen ). NO ONE should have to eat food from a place so unsanitary, I don't care if it hurts the company's profits.  |  IP: Logged
