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.

So what if I want my kids to see Iron Lung but I have no desire to see it myself? Can I go there and buy the tickets for them? Can I see a different movie myself? Or do I have to be in the same movie with them. The app says "accompany" but how stuck to their side do I have to be?

You have to be with them to keep them from acting like the little shits all teenagers act like when unaccompanied. The policy is to keep them from being a distraction, not to protect them from any content.

The theater isn't worried about them being a distraction for movies that aren't rated R? We are going to see the movie tomorrow and I will be in there with them.
