Also, if you think managers don't factor in cleaning time when it is a fact of the business, either you don't realize what it means to be a manager or your managers are morons.

On a related note, when I say leave your trash, I'm not referring to "trashing the place". I leave my refuse in a neat pile below the seat, which is completely acceptable to pretty much everyone but ushers I guess.

Cleaning up is part of an usher's job. The fact ushers clean, makes it part of their job. If it wasn't, ushers wouldn't be cleaning, someone else would.. If you spent less time bitching and more time picking up my nachos you wouldn't be so pressed for time.

Along with cleaning the theatres the ushers also need to exit-greet those theatres ("Thank you for coming. Have a nice day." along with having an extra trash can for you to use to throw away your trash) and clean the restrooms and lobby. If the theatres are too messy than there's no time to get to the other theatres on time or to squeeze in a restroom check.

Besides, theatres get out soon enough after each other that having a theatre that's clean just gives us time to get to those other theatres to clean. The only time where ushers have a time where they're not cleaning is when no theatres are getting out anyway.

Anyway, unless you've worked in a theatre previously and just haven't told us, I don't think you really have any kind of argument. You don't really know how the whole thing works. You're just speculating. GM and I have experience.
