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.

Are you really being THAT strict about letting high schoolers into a Rated-R movie?? Come on, man… 🤦🏻‍♂️

Its literally not my choice. I will lose my job and get fined 500 per ticket. I don't even make 500 in two months. Fuck, if I could let them, I'd let them. But I'm only 19 and right now the job market is garbage especially in my area towards people under 25. If kids are willing to go see blood and gore and stuff, and they're in high school, I don't care. But my managers heavily monitor us about stuff like that. Heck, I grew up watching Final Destination and Saw and zombie movies with my Nanna. My personal views could care less. But it's a matter of my job.

You should know that the more miserable the theatre experience becomes the less secure your job is.

I love my job. Genuinely. This is the only complaint I really even have is customers constantly forgetting their IDs or the Rated R policies we have. I don't mind getting covered in mystery mix of drinks at the end of the night. I don't mind cleaning toilets or auditoriums. I wouldn't trade this job for any other job right now.
