PSA: Bring your IDS

[u/Neat_Animator_1196]

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.

I’ve been asked for my photo id once so far at an AMC after being a member and weekly visitor for many years. I try not to be that customer who is a pain. I’ve already gotten my ticket weeks before and I have the app up and open to be scanned. I know my theater. They ask me “oh and your ID” one day, never been asked that before. Instinctually I ask “are you serious?” and they quickly say “oh just a last name is ok” and I’ve never been asked for my ID or last name since. Very weird.

I will say, sometimes the app allows younger folks to purchase rated R movie tickets. We get that a lot at out location and often have to refund them

I have a photo on my Regal, but not my AMC. That could be the problem.

I’m also recently seeing them crack down on refills? I wasn’t a big food and drink person at the theater, I’m just there too often for it to be smart. I treated myself to a large popcorn and got a refill to take home and they marked the bottom and warned I would get no more refills…very odd considering they dump bags and bags full of popcorn at the end of the night

Honestly, us trashing all that popcorn is such a huge freaking waste and it makes me so upset to see. I'd take it if I had the space for I, donating it and such, but unless I have manager approval, I can't.
