My local Cineplex is doing a BYOB (Bring Your Own Bisque) week which I thought was fantastic, however they force you to use their own cutlery charging $5!
ITT: local Movies annoying things
The cinemas want to cut down rewinds to only 5 times per showing
Absolutely absurd, I'm on my phone sometimes and I miss certain exciting or key things
I need to rewind
Just eat it with your hands, what are they gunna do? spoon feed you?

The movie theater in my town only rents shoes in whole sizes so I either sit through a movie with my shoes too loose or way to tight.
>showers are free
>towels are $10 each and they're only those little fucking loincloth things anyway
>>63000170
The Cinemas I work in has already replaced all the chairs without the 'rewind request' button, so cherish those 5
my local bijou doesnt let single males into the babes in arms showing, its like what do you think im going to molest the moms?

Mine did a similar promotion, but they wouldn't allow us to add crackers. They sold their own at $2.99 per pack, and they were just the crumbliest damn things.
But after I got some cracker stuck in the back of my teeth and I complained to the manager, he let me buy some Theater Floss for $3.99. Which as you know was a dollar cheaper than standard.
All in all, a pretty good night.

I got my local Kino shut down by reporting their use of the word 'cracker', which - as we know - is a racial slur against white people.
Sort of regret it because theatre really is the best place to pick up dental floss if you're on a tight budget.

>How the fuck is this even legal?
you know damn well a person breaking the no singles policy has no biz talking to management. It's like talking to the pit boss in vegas as you are gambling while under age.
I am a little shocked about the week in the basement. They clearly forgot about you or something being you should of been down there a few hours max.
legally they can only hold for twice the length of time as their longest running film as punishment for breaking the no singles policy. Most just kick a person out and verbally shame them in the lobby on the way to the door.
>cinema enforces no singles policy
>go with my social worker
>as we're going in the usher winks and says "haha not too much kissing you two!"
>Social worker is quick to correct him, explains that we're just friends

>explain that I haven't found the right girl yet
>he picks me up by the scruff of my neck and ejects me from the venue
>Social worker allowed to go in because she's married
what the fuck

Well I think they might have forgotten that I was still in the basement, to be honest - the usher who released me handed me a Matinee Voucher (which I obviously can't fucking use because SINGLE).
Is it possible they were trying to make an example of me by keeping me down there that long, though? I'm pretty sure I spent part of that time under sedation - there were periods I blacked out and woke up wet and smelling of urine.
