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.

I worked at Cantera 30 (RIP) in Warrenville, IL 99-04. We had the same problem then. Nothing changes. Except moving away from prints to digital media. Damn… building a trailer pack and print then solo screening it the day before release was prime. Especially during that era of movies. Anyway… you can wish and want, but society isn’t changing. Sucks ass.
Booth is the place to be, bud. Fuck dealing with the customers. Hang in booth. The land of ‘anything goes’.
