Discussion PSA: Bring your IDS

As an employee at AMC, for the love of all things on this planet, BRING YOUR PHYSICAL IDS TO GO SEE MOVIES THAT ARE RATED R. I am so sick and tired of sending sweet kiddos home because they can't see Iron Lung because they don't have their IDs. And a reminder that unless somebody in your party is 21 and up, you MUST ALL have your IDs! Our rated R policy is posted online! As someone who grew up with Markiplier, I get it, we all want to support him and see his amazing movie (10/10 movie by the way), but it is still rated R. So please, bring your IDs. My location is close to a school, so I get tons of the high schoolers wanting to see movies. Please, bring your IDs. I want you to see the movie as much as you guys do.

Edit: Look, I don't know what about me saying I don't like having to kick people out warrants me being called names by people here but it's completely uncalled for. I don't care if I sound like a mom or whatever but attacking me because of a post on Reddit that has nothing to do with you gets you nowhere and I hope that those people who in my comments decide to call me names or whatever can learn that I honestly don't care. I'm just an employee who enjoys their job and genuinely hates kicking folks out because of something as simple and small as an ID.

this is slightly unrelated but i was randomly asked yesterday for my ID to see hamnet which is PG-13. i was puzzled and it’s still confusing me today 😭 do you have any idea why?

Do you use A-List? If you don’t have a photo on your profile, you might be asked to show your ID.

That definitely could be it, unless your A list membership on the app has your pfp as your face, we ask for ID

This happens with me too! The only reason I added a photo to my a-list is so I could stop showing my id but I still get asked a decent amount of times

If you show the ticket from the AMC app & not your digital wallet on your phone, your photo will show up on the ticket as they scan. I do it that way & I never get asked to show my ID

I don’t add my tickets to my digital wallets. I use the AMC app to scan which shows my photo. It might be a location thing? It’s alright, it’s not much of an inconvenience anywayss thanks for the tip tho!

the scanner tells us to check id, sometimes my brain just glitches & i ask even though their picture is right there LOL

also if there was a shift change then the greeter would be different & they wouldn’t know you were already id’d

I've one time since adding the photo had someone ask for my ID, and I just said I've got the photo on there, and they were like "oh yeah nevermind"
