Nasty.....I was a supervisor and would just write the shit off at the end of the night. You just memorized the prices of the common shit and asked "cash or credit".
3 people died at the theater I worked at, one was shot by police. lemme pull some of my old posts...

exactly....I used to work at a movie theater in SF so sometimes tourists would go there too.....well someone paid with a travelers check and got their change and put that shit back in the envelope and ended up dropping the envelope in the theater when they saw the movie....as I'm cleaning (well, pushing all the trash back under the seats) I notice a rather fat envelope with something green where the hole for the address goes...my face lit up like a joint in b-reals fingers! I pulled out the wad and found out is was all ones tho :ermm:
a bit later I got a call on the radio like "did you find anything in theater #3?"
"uuuuuhhhhhhhh..........uuuuummmmmm........what are they missing?" :eyecross: "a black sweater" :knockout: "that's a big negative" and proceeded to call my dealer

heh....I have many-a-theater stories from working at a movie theater for almost 5 years....lets see, I do have one that involves asses AND clearing out the theater!
I was working in the projection booth and it was the end of the night, I just started the last movie, so it was time to go smoke then fuck around in the concession stand...well as I go downstairs I get to the customer service desk and hella people are coming out from one of the theaters saying there's some crazy guy in there talking about "if you want to live, then leave" the movie kinda just started. so building security tries to get the guy to leave and he refuses, so they end up calling San Francisco's "finest" about 4-8 cops show up and go over to the theater....less than 5 minutes later the building security guy comes running out screaming "they're shooting they're shooting!" everyone runs into the kitchen (along with some random ass fat woman, I guess she was a customer and saw her opportunity to make it to the promise land) after a while the cops inform us that this is now a crime scene and we gotta stop all the other movies and kick everyone out of the theaters....turns out the guy was "crazy and suicidal" and tried to attack the officers with a pocket knife attached to his keychain, so they open fire on him. 2 officers were wounded, one had a cut AND THE OTHER GOT SHOT IN HIS ASS BY ANOTHER OFFICER!
lol, and when I went home to watch the news they had the reporter standing outside as the movie titles are scrolling across the led sign...the first movie that scrolled is "whats the worst that could happen?" and she starts her story "A man is shot & killed by police in a movie theater" hella ironic.

about 4-8 cops show up and go over to the theater....less than 5 minutes later the building security guy comes running out screaming "they're shooting they're shooting!" everyone runs into the kitchen (along with some random ass fat woman, I guess she was a customer and saw her opportunity to make it to the promise land) after a while the cops inform us that this is now a crime scene and we gotta stop all the other movies and kick everyone out of the theaters....turns out the guy was "crazy and suicidal" and tried to attack the officers with a pocket knife attached to his keychain, so they open fire on him. 2 officers were wounded, one had a cut AND THE OTHER GOT SHOT IN HIS ASS BY ANOTHER OFFICER! lol, and when I went home to watch the news they had the reporter standing outside as the movie titles are scrolling across the led sign...the first movie that scrolled is "whats the worst that could happen?" and she starts her story "A man is shot & killed by police in a movie theater" hella ironic.
I couldn't find the article, but anyways...
The Stranger is a local paper in the Seattle area and it has a section called Last Days where it posts horrible/weird/odd news from around the world and also stuff seen in the Seattle area that is written in by people called "hot tippers" and my theatre has made this section at least twice that I'm aware of.
The first one was during our midnight show of Sex and the City last year. Two women got by both are box office and door staff that were WAY too drunk to be watching a movie (yes you can get denied for being too intoxicated at box and the door). So anyways about three quarters into the movie one of the women, who from what I was told were both scorching hot asian women in tight dresses, just leans foward and starts puking loudly all over the place. Seeing the theatre was sold out and they were late they were in the front row so it didn't get on anyone. No one comes out of the theatre and tells us. So then like 10 mins later her friend stands up, squats and starts peeing in the theatre. At this point the "hot tipper" decided it was time to get someone. They go out and inform the doorman what is going on and he calls security (off duty Seattle PD) and a manager (a really cool kid who no longer works with us named Dan). The doorman tell the officer and manager Dan the situation with the "hot tipper" still standing there. Dan then turns to the officer and says "it's fun time" and goes to kick out the two women. They have no problem picking them out and escort them out to the lobby where they get a better look at them. The puker is covered in vomit from the top to the bottom of her dress and the one that pee'd everywhere has a huge yellow piss stain at the bottom of her white dress. They are asked to leave and do so and that's the end of that story.
The other one we made the section for isn't really anything crazy at all. The "hot tipper" was in to see The Hangover and at the concession stand was met by "the most stoned person I have ever seen in my life." By the date and who was working then we figured out who it was and while she was probably stoned the girl is also pretty ditzy to begin with so that didn't help the case. She is also a total slut and just became legal like a month ago lol.

So during a Friday or Saturday 8pm showing of Taking of Pelham 123 I'm standing chatting with my concession people when a lady comes out of the theatre. The person I was chatting with notices her and points behind me because my back was facing her. I turn and ask if I can help her with something. She goes "uhhhh, ummm.. well, hmmmm.. there is a guy jacking off in the theatre." So I call security and we go into the movie. Pelham had been out a few weeks so it was now in one of our medium sized houses but the movie was still doing decent business so there was around 80-100 people in the theatre. The lady points towards the middle section about a few rows from the front but she really didnt need to because we could see the guy clearly. The dude's head was jerking all around and back and forth. Luckily he was infront of everyone else and no one but the lady that came out and her boyfriend/husband were on the far side could see him. So the officer and I walk up the side aisle and look over and this dude is just going at it with himself. I was happy it was in his pants and not out because this dude wasn't just give it a rub or a nudge, he was full on stroking it like there was no tomorrow. The officer shines his flashlight on him and the dude freaks the fuck out. We pull him out of the theatre and notice he looks kind of young. It turns out it was a 15yr old kid. When the cop is talking to him and telling him he could take him to jail for this his knees buckled and I thought he was about to faint. The kid had a huge scar on his head and said he suffered from a traumatic brain injury after being hit by a car a few years ago and from my mom being a nurse I do know that people like that do really odd stuff sometimes. I talked to the officer and we both decided to just trespass him and cut him loose.
I used to work at one of those cheap $3 theaters that show old movies. Well one time me and this chick were cleaning a theater that just got out. The girl sweeps up one of those girl wallets. We look inside and there is $300 in there plus all her cards and stuff like that. So I tell her we should split the cash. She wants to wait to see if the lady comes back or calls about it. So it's the end of our shift and we're in the parking lot and I tell her that since that girl didn't do anything about it we should split it now. She tells me that she's gonna take it home and call the lady (there was something in there with her number on it) and if she doesn't answer then we can keep it.I kept telling her fuck that and we should just keep it. So the next day my coworker comes in and I asked her what happened. The bitch tells me that the lady answered and she went to her house to get her shit back. I was pissed at that bitch...
This other time I was cleaning with this stoner Joaquin. On the armrest of one of the seats I see some fancy purse...Coach or something like that, so I knew there had to be some good shit in there. I tell him about it and he says we'll check it out and keep whatever's in there after we finish cleaning. As we're talking about it, some guy and his girl walk in. He gets the purse and mutters "Women..." He didn't hear us planning things out but we were both disappointed that he came back to get what was rightfully his girlfriend's purse.
This other time an older guy came in along with someone who took care of him (he was mentally disabled). A few minutes later a guy comes out the bathroom and says "Um...there's a naked guy in the bathroom. He looks like he's mentally disabled." I was like I'm not going in there so I radio my manager and tell him about it. He goes "Um...okay..." and laughs and he didn't go into the bathroom till a few minutes later. When he comes back out he says there was no one in there. I don't know how I didn't see a retard comin out of the bathroom but somehow I missed it.
That theater also does a special midnight viewing of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" every once in a while. Well I was working security that night since a shitload of weirdos form a line to watch that movie. Most of the people there were emo/punk looking kids. There was a guy wearing nothing but underwear and boots that he spray-painted gold. About half of the girls there were in some weird lingerie type outfits. There was a normal lookin girl in line too wearing a shirt and jeans. Next thing I know this girl is taking off her clothes and strips down to her bra and panties. There was a guy holding his girlfriend from behind. Then this other girl who was with them starts making out with his girl. I guess he's used to it cuz he didn't pay them any attention. Once they were all in there and the movie started one of the managers said I could go in there and watch the movie since my shift was over. I didn't wanna be with those weirdos so I just left lol.
The only famous person to go into my theater was Chino XL lol. He was wearing a shirt that said his name on it haha.
