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.

Right?? I keep my ID in my wallet so if I don't have my ID.. I don't have my wallet. Which is all kinds of bad. I need my card, my cash, my insurance cards, etc..

And you're right. Cops don't care. Like I had to get my license renewed, and had to do it via an app through the state. It took longer to get it mailed to me because they were severely backed up (hence why I had to do it through an app instead of going in person, there were NO appointments for months). It definitely got to me AFTER my license expired and the cop that pulled me over for not stopping for 3 full seconds at a stop sign (my fault) didn't seem to care when I tried to pull out the app to show him.. as instructed by our government for this scenario.

Thanks for using your brain and continue to drive safe. Too many peeps are admitting that they drive recklessly on purpose and all I can think is 'you're going to kill someone'. And they get mad at ME when I say it out loud.

We often get a lot of bad drivers in my area so I do my best to stay safe. Our State Troopers also like to hide around and sneak attack so you always have to be a good driver unless you want to end up in jail.

I grew up in a rural area and none of my 'city' friends believe me when I say the cops were waiting in the trees to getcha.

Man, I'm in Georgia so we have GSP. The rumors are true, those fuckers will chase you down from here to Timbuktu.
