Absolutely not. I worked in a theatre for a summer and I thought I had a pretty good work ethic. As long as you weren't rolling in with a pizza box clearly displayed, I'm not going to ask you for shit besides tickets. Do you have insulin in your backpack or an entire KFC dinner for 6? We will never know.
I had a party size bag of Doritos in the back of my T-shirt once, they let me right in.
Are you guys not getting taken to a side room and frisked when you see a movie?
No, and I feel shortchanged.
Where's the cavity search I was promised?!?
I gotchu fam
On several occasions I've literally made eye contact with the ticket person, drink in hand, and not once have they ever said anything, at least not in recent years. Last time they paid the employees enough to care was in the 90s.
The one for Beetlejuice earned his wage. 🤣
First off I wasn't going to until you said something, second off I'm probably still not going to because honestly unless you're blatantly eating a Big Mac in the middle of the lobby, no one gets paid enough to care. I'm a regular in my theater and I know that everyone knows.
Fun fact bags of doritos, chips and similar are not allowed because they make too much noise in the movie theater
Imagine a whole crowd making their bags crack when reaching inside and munching loudly on doritos, it would be so damn awful
Then you have cinemas where people is having a full dinner. Of course you know what you get into and some noose is expected, not saying otherwise, but I found it amusing.
I prefer the screeching of Sun chips anyways.
