If he did it enough and got an underground movement of corner-pissers going it would! The various cleaning businesses would boom! In a good way!

Now if you'll excuse me, I just noticed something else.

Complaining about the price of gummi bears while talking about how you're doing your part to employ more ushers by leaving your trash behind (despite the fact that there is a nice little announcement before the movie asking you to dispose of your trash in the proper containers, i.e. the ones that are on the way out of the theater) seems rather silly, since if everyone started leaving their trash behind in "neat piles" to an extent that they did have to hire (and pay for) more workers, is there not a fairly good chance that they'll just raise the price of those gummi bears (and the other various treats) to help cover the rising cost of running the theater?

If you neatly placed your trash on the floor during the movie's running time, the effort it takes is equal to the effort it takes to bend over from a sitting position... If you left the empty or half-empty bag of popcorn in your lap, and the drink in the holder next to you, the effort it takes to pick it up would be even less...
And chances are if you're a teenager or 20-something, neither scenario should even be defined as "effort"...
So since we have established that it takes no effort at all to carry your own trash out of the theater, is it really worth employing more ushers and boosting concession and ticket prices over? *strokes beard*
