Is it just me, or are guests getting way bolder about bringing in outside food?
Has anyone else noticed this lately?
People aren’t even trying to hide outside food or drinks anymore. They’ll walk in carrying drinks (other than water), walking in with takeouts in their hands like it’s completelyyy normal. Then when you tell them they can’t bring it inside, they’ll argue and justify and call out for a manager to try to change the policy for them. basically causing a whole scene while the ticket reader entrance is getting backed up
The part that gets me is when I actually let someone slide because they concealed it properly, and then they immediately pull it out in the lobby once they get through or while waiting in the concession line. 😭 Like bro… if I let you in with it, at least wait until you’re in the auditorium so I don’t look bad if another employee or manager walks by****…(which I’ve already been talked to by my manager for and got written up**)**
so is this happening everywhere, or is it just my theater? I don’t know if it’s confirmation bias, but I’ve also noticed the same people who bring in outside food seem to be the ones who leave their trash behind for the usher crew to stumble upon.
