Author Topic: Knife wielding lunatic terrorizes Frida patrons Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-01-2003 11:25 PM                     Paul, Many of our customers already do that. Some have a seperate money counting room where the manager can do the proper counting and paperwork without fear of being invaded. One somewhat eccentric customer has all his cameras linked via internet back to home office so he can spy from the comfort of his desk. Now, that is rediclous INHO. Although there is no excuse on the books for theft by an employee, I find that operators that pay their employees enough don't need to worry about them stealing. One customer caught a ticket sales kid stealing, they figure he got away with 16 grand or more during the run of Lion King. Concession sales were way up from what box office should have been. That led them to know something was up.......

Luckily the clerk did the right thing and just did what they told him to do. I feel so bad for him, I could not imagine being in that situation, it just figures they waited for the manager to leave the lobby, they were obviously waiting.  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-08-2003 02:22 AM                        quote: Only good things happen in New York.....right guy's. My favorite disturbance while I was in NYC was during Taxi Driver - a plainly psychotic street guy complete with Santa-sized garbage bag of possessions over his shoulder clambered up on the apron near the end screaming & threatening the audience, clawing at the screen - during such a nice, easy movie. Screams from the audience, would-be supermen jumping up & stopping 6 feet from the guy, the whole 9 yards. Security hauled him out. Scorsese should have made it part of the show, like William Castle would have.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 01-13-2003 05:58 AM                        Maybe this bloke thought he was watching Seven Samurai...  |  IP: Logged
