Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

The price and margin for the movie theater of the tickets is decided by the movie studios. I agree that everyone that can buy a drink to support the movie theater should do so but if you are bringing your stuff it should not be punished like this.

The dude literally told a kid the cops might kill his mom. Deranged behavior.

Yeah. That sounds like the theater hired a psycho.

If they knew then I say this is on them. Otherwise sounds like they just happen to have an employee who thought “This makes me feel like I have the slightest bit of power over somebody and I’m going to use it”

People like that are just scary but sadly they’re not as rare as I’d like.

I'm amazed there's no system to keep track of these behaviors. They're highly indicative of future problems.
