Have you ever been to a movie theater? Duh who hasn’t, right? Well, have you ever worked at one? Probably not. A month ago I was just like you — seeing every movie and, of course, not working at a movie theater. Though after what seems like almost a year, but has only been a month, of working at a movie theater, I have realized not only how crazy people can be but also how rude they are. Listed below are some prime examples of the people we live among for you to rate on the scale of crazy to rude.
1. Concession Stand![]()
1: A customer purchases a refillable tub that he/she then pours into a tote bag they brought from home.
2: “Your prices are so high. Can I get a discount?”
3: A customer walks in with a thing of cheese that looks like it’s been sitting out for days and an uncrumpled popcorn bag. He/She asks “I just dropped my food; can I get some more?”
4: “Can I have a small popcorn but can you only fill it 3/4ths of the way? But once you get to half way out butter in it.”
5: “The volume in the theatre is too loud.”
6: “I decided I don’t want this cup anymore; can I get a refund?”
7: “I don’t feel comfortable watching my movie with a box of toilet paper outside the theater.”
2. Usher
1: Do people ever eat their popcorn because I’ve cleaned up more popcorn than we make.
2: If you’re going to bring your own food in then throw it away instead of leaving it under your chair.
3: If you’re going to have a food fight during your movie please don’t come again.
4: Why get drunk in a movie theater and not throw away the evidence?
5: I clean up way too much popcorn, but that comes nowhere close to how many unused napkins I’ve cleaned up.
6: If the movie is over then leave. At 11pm I do not want to wait on one person to leave the theater just so he can sit through 15 minutes of credits.
3. Guest Services
1: “I didn’t like the movie. I’ll like my money back.”
2: “Is this not AMC North Point?”
3: “Can I get one ticket for Logan at 5:15?” No this is not the box office.
