Re: If you're going to the movies...
I would just like to know that I, the one who started the thread, was not complaining about putting butter on the popcorn or layering the butter or anything like that. While it is a little frustrating to have nearly every customer ask for fresh layered butter when I have a line going on forever, its is their right to ask for layered butter, etc.
I still do not believe, however, that they have a right to just leave their garbage laying in the aisles however they please. I still stand by my statement that an usher's job is to make a theatre pretty for the next showing so that audience doesn't have to sit in a popcorn spill, not to clean up the previous showing's garbage so that they don't have to.
Yes, an usher's job is to keep the theatre clean. But just because you know someone has to clean the restroom doesn't mean to crap on the floor and sitkc the toilet paper to the walls. That doesn't help the economy, not matter how much you delude yourself that you're doing a favor.
And I'm not complaining about someone accidentally kicking over their popcorn or a drink forgotten in the cupholder. I'm talking about nachoes where the cheese has been upended over the floor. I"m talking about entire aisles filled with popcorn. I'm talking about nasty, wet napkins stuck in the cupholder or spitcups left on the floor.
I always try to make the customer happy, so long as making the customer happy doesn't go against what the bosses tell me to do. So if a customer accidentally spills their entire tub of popcorn on the floor, I'll refill it for free and probably end up sweeping the popcorn up. If someone didn't like the taste of Redvines and want to switch it out with something else, I'll give them a different candy and take that hit to our inventory.
I know my job and I do it well. Pretty darn well. I just think sometimes I'd like a little appreciation from the people I help is all.
