Blandest pissy shitties I've ever had. Unacceptable in this day and age to not have your soda machine working. Didn't leave a tip for her or for my waiter during my in-movie dining experience either

Yes. In fact, it is commonly accepted that one should tip around 50% of the total owed if any of the equipment is broken and cannot furnish you with the product you desire because it will be harder on the employee later when they go to fix it.

I worked at a theater in high school for 3 years.

Maybe 5 times total I got tips, 2 were $1< and the rest were just change the customers didn't want. One time a girl worker got tipped $100 on Christmas by some weird old dude who was Jewish, she was 16.

Also we do have butter dispensers. At my cinema the butter had to be heated before it could be loaded into the butter dispenser because it's solid at room temperature.

Havent seen a hot butter dispenser at a movie theatre since the late 90s desu. Only Odeon ever used to have it too, Britbong btw.

Why the fuck would you tip at a movie theatre? Do you tip the cashier at McDonalds too?
