Hello readers! I actually am really excited to share this post today because I've had some pretty hilarious things happen during my time at the movie theater and also some pretty terrible things but I think they're pretty funny as well. Maybe you can read this and just laugh, or maybe you can relate because you've had similar experiences. Either way, here I go.
When I sat down to think about the worst experiences I've had, the one that came to mind was bathroom incident number one. I say number one because we have multiple bathrooms and therefor multiple incidents. That being said this one stood out the most. I was taking tickets at my theater when a man approached me on the right. I would say mid 50's. He ever so graciously informed me that the men's bathroom was flooding. Okay. Thank you sir I'll get right on that. So I sent my coworker Garrett because I was not about to dive into that issue. Garrett returns to the bathroom with no explanation and hands the cleaning supplies to Joey who willingly accepts the challenge. I still have no idea what's going on. Joey then walks out with a disgusted face and Colin, being the nice guy he is, decides its too much for Joey to do on his own and so Colin joins him in the restroom. Upon their return I just about died laughing when I discovered that someone had not only shoved paper towels into the urinal which caused it to overflow, but they smeared human waste all over the handrails in the bathroom. Lovely. We do appreciate the effort to keep the theater clean! All said and done I'm just glad It was the men's bathroom.
The other experiences are definitely less satisfying to hear about. We have the occasional "sneaky" teenagers who try to sneak into the monster screen located directly behind the usher. Oh and who could forget the kids who ask my coworker Ben if he's a girl? Granted, he does have long hair but you really can't miss the beard.
The last thing I remembered that stood out actually happened a few times but I'll tell the story like it only happened once. I was standing in a theater at the end of American Sniper waiting for the guests to leave so I could sweep. Now I don't know if it's me standing there that makes people nervous because they make eye contact with the one who's about to clean up their mess but EVERY TIME I stand in the theater some kid walks out and drops a pop or an icee right in front of my eyes. Like he sees me and his arms fail to respond to his brains cues telling him to keep hold of his cup. Every time they drop something it's accompanied with an "OH GOD!" or "Avdkfkfbsj!!!" and then they run away from me. I don't know how else to explain it. So there you go, guys. That's my life at the theater.
