I hope your coworkers enjoy cleaning up my shit
I could care less about the janitors to be honest, I never see them anyway.
but please keep your phone in your pocket, thank you very much.
You tell them to stop using their phones you dumbass. I work as an usher and we have to make sure no ones filming and subsequently tell people to stop using their phones.
>go to cinema
>girl in front of me keeps holding up her phone, recording scenes from the movie on her snapchat
this is why people bring ARs into the movies
You deserve a special place in hell. Worst is when people bring in fucking nachos and spill sauce everywhere. That shit stains the carpets yo
I tried, they either go into full damage control ("sorry my grandma just did a backflip on her wheelchair and died"), deny it ("who meeee?"), or promise they'll never do it again, then proceed to do it again next time they come.
It's a war that cannot be won, it's too late.
you better be banning babies too you nigger
screaming crying babies are way worse than phones
just have the ads in the movies, that's the only and best way of doing it.
1. Give a warning
2. If they do it again, ask them to leave
3. If they don't get security
Unless you have no security which in that case what the fuck m8
I never get babies because we don't show cartoons, thank God.
we have a very clear "please don't use your phone" clip just before the movie starts, it's useless.
>Bring a subway sandwich into the movie theatre
>Usually never have enough time to finish it before the film ends
>End up tearing it up and tossing pieces around the room
Fuck you, faggots.
dumb dipshit parents bring babies to regular movies too
obviously thats the issue, why would I talk about banning babies from seeing literal baby movies.
>watching hardcore Henry
>people brought their children with them
>teenagers brought their moms
>people complaining whole movie about violence
Why do people not research a movie before going to see it
>tfw you gotta piss and its past 2 hours into bvs and theres a nigger baby screaming 1 row behind you please just end already just fucking end when will this movie end.
top kek
no security, it's a small theatre, it's just me and the cashier, and after the last movie starts it's just me alone.
>mfw somebody in a pack of drunk teenagers vomited right by the entrance doors the other night and I got insulted when I told them to get the fuck away.
If I catch somebody eating food from outside I usually go up to them and take it away, most people feel really bad about it and give it up easily, for me it's very gratifying.
I guess I would complain about that but I'm honest when I say I never get parents bringing toddlers in my theatre.
Wait, what? Why is supposed to be a bad thing to use your phone? I've paid ma ticket, Im allowed to call people, like I do at home. Deal w/it, it's my right.
>his cinema doesn't have a "No Electronics" policy
Fr*ckn plebs
>what the fuck am I supposed to do?
hand out complimentary pre-filled waterguns
ive seen shitfaggots take out their phone and start browsing facebook literally seconds after that ad airs.
Dude, if you own the place you have a decent right to kick them out. Write up a policy that you can remove patrons at the company/sites discretion without refund.
Ban outside food. We 'officially' banned it but everyone's too fucking lazy to enforce it
precisely, people are retarded in general but when they go watch a movie they relax and become extra retarded, it's a lost battle really, phones have become so much of an extension of ourselves that people just take them out without realizing.
I just work there, in theory we could kick them out but the boss is a stingy fuck that would get mad at me if I kicked out people because that would mean they're not coming back.
I just hope people could be civil.

Use public humiliation tactics.
Start explaining why you have the "no cellphone" ad before the movies and why they ruin other people's experience
Start formally but become more and more patronizing as you go. As if the things you are explaining should be commonly known by children.
Make sure to also give them a small speech about how it was expected more maturity and respect from a grown person and that following a very basic set of rules for basic social activities are necessary to going to the movies.
Make sure that it's loud enough for people around you two hear it.
I can guarantee that they will never bother you again, or that other people won't too.
I used to work as a mall security guy during my uni times and this tactic worked 100% of the time, although people would get a bit mad but fuck them, I had a police baton lol
Op here, I'm europoor
I work in the exact opposite kind of theatre, we mostly show essay and obscure award winner movies, you'd think a more educated crowd would come to see those but nope,
>working as...operator
awesome! :o
how many people have you killed?
Do at this user says. Every showing make a speech beforehand warning that they will be asked to leave if the projectionist/usher sees cell phone usage
>europoor
I'm an ausfag, that's why our cinemas are so shit
>I could care less
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
apology for poor english
what's the correct term?
I agree with you but that would require making new ads and stuff and as I said my boss is an extremely stingy dude.
I could go up and appeal to the crowd before each movie but I've got to stay at the counter at that time..
I put a coat over my arm
How many times have you seen stacy get fingered by chad?

That's what you get for going to my movie
Last time I went to the movies a troop of midgets had barricaded themselves inside the concessions dome. Had to watch Alvin & the Chipmunks without my customary turkey leg.
sorry user it's just not my responsibility, thank God people who are as disgusting as the user who wrote the first post are not very common.
I see people making out every night my friend, fingering has happened but I just let it be, it's the way of nature.
kinographer sounds better
the answer is simple, get rich and build a home theater.
I side mine behind the chair at the point where it folds
I levitate my body during a movie so it looks like I am sitting, but what I am actually doing is creating a gap where the seat lifts
I then proceed to poopoo down the gap and hit the bucket
>people using their phones during a movie
Do Americans really do this?
What's it like to live in a country of apes anyway?
kek'd
>get rich
also kek'd
rich is a buddy of mine hes a great carpenter, build you a hell of a theater
The worst part about moviegoing in the South is the mandatory prayer at the beginning of every showing.
The worst part about moviegoing in a jewish part of the city is the circumcision of the goys at the beginning of every showing
I live in a civilised European country and this still happens.
inb4 not in muh perfect country.
>go to the cinema showers
>spread shampoo everywhere on the floor
>kek as people slip and fall
>subway sandwich
It's called Hoagie you stupid faggot
>worst part
>this is what goys really believe
Doesn't happen in MY civilized european country
Eat my ass. It's my right to enjoy the movie I paid for, without you disturbing me. Stay at home if you disagree.
>Captain America: Civil War tin
What the fuck is a "tin" in this context?
Ebin
The worst part about moviegoing in Britain is they have to pause showings 5 times a day when it comes time to pray towards Meccas
don't lie to me brah
>his cinema doesn't have Navy Seal operators on standby in case of a terrorist attack

the worst part about moviegoing in India is literally nothing because this is how movies are supposed to be watched
Like a popcorn tub/container.
Looks like this (shield comes off obviously)
>imagine if someone started a cinema thats like the memes
>"no singles"-policy
>only hire smiling black people
>sell crab legs
>have showers
>have dance intermissions
I'd pay extra to go
that's so useless and ugly
kek'd
Last time I went to the movies I got caught on the Kisscam with my mother.
>I'd pay extra to go
>>"no singles"-policy
nu-uh you're not getting in
You hate it now you wait to you buy it
I fapped tb.h
We sell so much of this garbage
Here's what we sold when Star Wars came out
DELETE THIS
Probably the movie is shit and they are watching some YIFY in their phones.
Fuck people bringing in outside food. I didn't work at a cinema but at my old job that was pretty much one of like two things we showed absolutely no leniency on.
Most would give it up easily but some would complain and ask why. Much as I wanted to berate them for being too stupid to figure out such an obvious answer I had to calmly explain it's because people are fuckheads who will drop food anywhere without a care in the world and it fucking attracts ants.
Worst part is we had a big sign outside the play area that said "FOOD AND DRINK ARE PROHIBITED" and barely any of them barely read the damn thing. We let most covered drinks slide but people are too stupid with food to be allowed to have it.
2/3
Why anyone would want this shit I don't know
Tell your boss that the 90s are already way behind us. Peopleaaren't that into gimmicks anymore.
How weak minded would you have to be to not be able to put down your phone for 2 fucking hours?
3/3
>kisscam catches me sitting alone and eating my boogers
>everyone starts laughing
>forced to leave out of shame
>theater constable won't give me a refund
Jokes on them, next time I'm bringing a gun
the cinema I usually watch movies at has literally no mobil reception at all.
Feels great
The worst part about moviegoing in Germany is the little 'sorry for the holocaust' ad they have before every movie.
I wish, but management is fucking stupid
We starting selling pizza/breads for people to eat in the movies. Now every cinema smells of fucking garlic bread
I know your pain lad, I've had to confiscate all sorts of food, from Burger King meals to fucking pasta in a lunch box, people don't realize that stuff also smells and that it might be distracting for other viewers if the room smells like a fast food.
>I could care less
>could
What about KFC
At this point it's fair to say it's the theaters' fault. At least in my area. You really can't fault people for not following a rule that isn't enforced.
Directly before the previews start write in gigantic block letters on the screen and have a giant booming voice say "IF YOU TEXT DURING THE FILM, YOU WILL BE EJECTED WITHOUT A REFUND. NO EXCUSES. NO EXCEPTIONS." Then when someones texts during the movie a manager should eject them. The end.
Same thing happened when my cinema started selling Hungarian goulash.
More of the trash we had to sell
I know this probably isn't true but I would believe it
n't*
we don't have it in my country
>employee attempts to take burger from me before the movie starts.
>throw it towards the front rows
>people get showered in burger bits
>get thrown out of the cinema
Worth it.
...
Thats what the extra would be, I'd have to pay extra and hire an escort to go with me
>tfw roidbros bought this shit everytime because it had the word 'protein written on it
You can tell the graphic designer behind these wants to kill himself.
>try to enforce it
>instead of doing what I'm supposed to do like changing flyers and other things I speed upstairs every time I catch somebody texting
>they deny it
>ask to talk to the boss
>he gets mad at me for disturbing viewers during the show
nah, what we could do i have a spotlight and point it on the texting person every time they take his or her phone out, stop the show and have a recorded voice do 30 seconds of talk to the guy in question, I think scare tactics could work.
Imagine how greasy those things must get. You'd have to handwash them too
>when there's a group of mentally disabled people shouting and screaming in the corner of the cinema
Last time I went to the movies the discoball was askew and it kept reflecting light right into my eyes for the entire showing.
What do people do after the movie with those? Do they collect them for decades to come?
>tfw you have to pee so badly you're afraid to stand up and somehow manage to awkwardly hobble to the bathroom after the movie is over
I don't drink anything for five hours before going to see a movie now.
After eating popcorn, candy and drinking my X-large soda I always have to shit. I stay until everyone leaves and let out this huge log while pissing on the seat in front of me.
Hope you enjoy cleaning that you fucking pajeets
I hate american tourists
