I don't care how old my kids, grandkids are, if I caught them doing this crap, they would be cleaning it up. I would embarrass the hell out them while they did. Around ten years ago, my oldest daughter (around 15/16 years old, hadn't had a job yet) threw a Taco Bell sauce wrapper on the floor. I asked what the hell she thought she was doing, replied something like they get paid to pick it up. I gave a rather long lecture about it not only being bullshit, but if that's how you are going to go through life here's what to expect , my rant and lecture probably lasted 15-20 minutes because I was pissed. Never had that problem again. I just hope they behaved when I wasn't with them. I can't stand seeing people litter , or putting their crap on someone else.
Good man Popsy. Dry cleaners get paid to clean up clothes too but we don’t all go around shitting our pants to keep them busy. My friends kid used to get an allowance for cleaving their room. We all went to eat one time when they were an early teen and they pulled the same thing. Their dad called them on it but it was obvious they just brushed it off. So when we got back to their house I tossed their room. They came in right as I was finishing up in quite a flurry. I just looked at em and said: “what? You get paid to clean it up.” I don’t know that they never did it again- but any time I went out with their family at least the kid was very tidy from there out.
That sounds like a good idea, but you'd be screwing over the theater and the 300+ people trying to watch the next showing.
Take them out of the theater and THEN rant. You're rant is entirely justified, btw.

I'm all for the message that if you don't clean up after yourself, your mom's a hoe.
That said, if the expectations of your job leave you in the fetal position while others take photos of you, the job is probably not right for you.
Yeah, he should feel this much defeat from a mess that in all reality , wouldn't take long to clean. Unless, it was his mom and dad having some payback.lol
@shikharizard title of post checks out.

I wonder how many soldiers through the many wars sat like that against piles of their dead friends. You're cleaning up 1st world trash. It sucks when people do this but hey, most people suck. You're earning money, just do the job, we all have to.
Holy shit that last line made me do the Chris Pratt gasp/smile face...
In all seriousness, there are no end-credits. After the montage, get out and do your best to clean up your own fucking mess...
This is like nothing ever seen before, and the ushers are STRESSED.
You bought it, you clean it up. It's that simple. Especially when they give you cans to throw it out in on the way out. If you can lug that shit into the theater, you can certainly lug it out. And there's a bonus! You don't even have to carry it as far as you did when you brought it in!
I agree with all self clean up and things. But come on man, I know it's a mess, but that is not something to be sad about. I am a cleaner myself but I think this picture is too much drama. You only need a big trash bag, a pair of gloves, and quickly put those trash inside the bag and vacuum the crumbs. Don't overthink, just quickly do the shit without thinking.
When someone breaks down over something little- it’s seldom about that little thing, and more often about what they’ve been carrying and that little thing was the last bit too much. A single drop of clean water on your forehead won’t usually cause most people an emotional breakdown- but strap a person down an keep applying a drop at a time over time and that’s an effective form of torture that can mentally break a person. So maybe they have bigger stress and this broke the dam, or maybe little stress over time, or maybe they have something important to do and thought they’d get off on time but now they won’t and wether it’s 5 minutes or 5 hours they are too late. Who knows? What is easy for one is hard for another. If this wasn’t true we wouldn’t have doctors and everyone would have Olympic gold medals and Nobel prizes.

Dude...janitorial duty is not Chinese water torture.
Lol. No. It’s not. I’m not co flaying the two. It’s the same principal. Mom and dad or your partner- wether it’s making noise while eating, leaving your socks out or forgetting to turn off the light- eventually they will likely snap of you keep doing it and get upset at you. “You always do this!” A common cry to hear in a fight. Spending 15-60 seconds with a stranger isn’t too difficult either for most- but retail workers who do it all day often develop severe stress from it no? Little ticks “if one more person tries to use an expired coupon...” “I swear I’ll lose it the next time someone tries to return something that is obviously used...” How hard is it to wait? Yet we know from studies traffic or long lines stress people out even when they aren’t on a tight schedule and have no reason they can’t wait.
So it isn’t torture and I wouldn’t compare the two- the underlying principal is the same though. It’s a mechanism inherent to the human mind. Small repetitive things can build up and cause us stress and anxiety. We then associate certain things with stress or anxiety, and thusly can have those emotions triggered by just a slight stimulus. The fast food worker who can’t stand the smell of grease, the person who can’t eat at a place because their ex took them there or isn’t comfortable in a place where or that reminds them of a traumatic or emotionally unpleasant event- the list goes on. Feeling trapped in such situations can enhance anxiety even if we aren’t actually “trapped” and just feel like we don’t have the freedom to act as we would like.
