Such arrogant and deluded people need to be taught a lesson... and that lesson is gummi-bear spittle. HAVE AT THEE.

And on a side note, you're theater is charging me $3.50 for those friggin' Gummi Bears... so yeah... pick my trash up. Its not being sloppy, its nonviolent protest. If you have a problem, talk to your money-grubbing concession whores. VIVA LA MOVIE REVOLUCION!!!!

I can't quite tell if you're trying to be some sort of over-the-top parody or not...

How about next time before you leave the theater you take a piss in the corner... They'd probably call in a special cleaning service to deal with that (in addition to the ushers you are keeping employed), thus employing even more people! Horah!

lol, well if you read, i said no food at all. i have never nor ever will eat anything in the theatre. and i dont buy any drinks at the theatre, so my pop bottles come home with me to get my deposite back.

i was just simply saying, when theres too much work for workers. more workers get hired. when theres less, less are needed.... its simply how the job system works.
i never said to leave a mess

actually, the special cleaning service people, it would just be another job they're called on, him pissing in the corner isnt going to get anymore of them employed.

and really it might end up getting someone who works in the theatre in trouble. certainly not anymore people employed for him pissing.

upon further thinking of it..... pissing in the corner really doesnt help anyone. thats a no no. Add it to the list. NO PISSING IN THE CORNERS!
thank you.

Let's just face it guys, it's people like Strangler who gave birth to the term 'going postal'. You people who get their jollies from screwing over employees time and time again don't realize that all the anger and frustration you cause is slowly building up inside the heads of young adults and teenagers who work these thankless jobs.

I used to do the same thing in high school. Everytime I went to Taco Bell with friends, I would eat 5 burritos and then spin around in circles for seven minutes. Then I would go straight to the bathroom and hurl all over the floor, not in the toilet, because it was so funny seeing an employee walk in there to find the mess that they would have to clean. Ole!

So the next time you spit gummy bears all over the floor and the following morning's headline reads, "Gummy bears send usher over the edge, 17 customers asses get capped", just remember this little thread.

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*

4) GM just implied that I'M a little nuts. That is just precious...

I actually agree with you on this.

Aside from the fact it's illegal to urinate in public.
Or so I'm told.

Teuthida · 10-25-2006, 12:21 AM

I wonder...if you're a repeat offender...and the workers take notice...Mr. S you surely must have drank your fair share of "disgruntled employee urine." It's a lovely system.

I'm one of those siding with the theater-folk on this issue, and I've never worked in a movie theater...
And although I do have one of those jobs that doesn't require my IQ to be above legally retarded (perfect for me), and I admit that I am extremely lazy, I don't have any major complaints about how customers tend to act at my place of employment, and I even have a swell boss/manager/cook/everything else who also happens to be the place's co-owner...

But hey, I think you're coming off as quite a jerk. If for no other reason than the number of times I had to step (or stumble, depending on the lighting) over one of your like-minded brethren's pile of trash because they were too lazy to take the "effort" to carry a paper cup or bag to the trash can that happens to be 2 feet from the door they were about to exit through.
Or (in reference to the video store topic) perhaps the times I passed over a movie I really wanted because some jackaninny decided he'd take the only copy they had in stock and put it under the wrong letter in the wrong section...

Sure it's someone's job to re-arrange the movie shelves. But guess what, those things don't happen instantaneously (and if the store happens to be Circuit City, it never seems to happen period... But that's more of a complaint for the store)... And in the meanwhile, you just made the store a teeny bit messier for everyone else trying to shop there...

But apparently common courtesy is only appreciated by the unemployed and/or legally retarded...
When you have a job and a high IQ, what more is there to need in life?

Nobody's saying littering isnt bad.

He's just saying you shouldnt complain about things that are entailed in your job.

I dont think a school janitor claims kids throw too much **** around, and if he does, he shouldnt. It's his job.

If you get hired at a movie theatre, you know what you're doing. Serving food, helping customers, picking up garbage.

Yes, people can be inable of throwing trash away.
People can also be inable of attempting to find the 9th theatre in the building, despite the fact they may be asking you while standing in front of number 8.

Complain about wages, hours, co-workers.
Not what your job entails, it just seems silly.

In my defense, all I have at my disposal right now is Paint. If I had photoshop or a scanner nearby, i probably could have done better.

Oh and secondly, shut up man. We don't like some things our customers do. Sue us you pretentious son of a bitch. Just because customers annoy us doesn't mean we're lazy. And we generally don't whine about it a whole lot. We do our jobs and most of the time we do them pretty well. Your arguments make no sense (ex. making a giant mess is GOOD for the people working at the theatre) and it seems to me like you're arguing for the sake of being a jerk. Honestly, look at the stuff you've said in this thread.

If you're trying for satire, you are really bad at it, sir.
