“Sir, what’s that in your bag.”
“An AK47”
“No, next to that.”
“A snickers.”
“You can’t bring that in here.”
Weapons are actually allowed.
clamo6362 not at Regal
Thanks for the laugh. That was good sh*t. 😂
How teachers be in school classrooms
Tabitha Dufrene that’s why you don’t go to regal lol
“Margaret cares” 😂 there’s always that one person at every job
Joseph Clark seriously 😅😂
Lol
She cares too much about her $11/hr job 😂
Joseph Clark, I feel attack😂😂😂
Lmfaooo
"I don't care, maybe Jake and Antoine don't care.. but Margaret cares cause she loves the manager". 😂 This dude was the best part of this whole video. Bring this dude backkkk
Pardon me being extra but I think it's Antoine😅but it's okay
@@mgasukihanwa841 it's all good 😂 I'll fix it.
would rather blow my brains out than watch this hipster trendy sh*t again.
I've been to movie theaters where they check your bag along with your ticket. If they're worried about people bringing in weapons, I get it. They just should not take that opportunity to bust you for bringing in your own snacks. Theater food is too expensive.
This is actually my childhood friend, he has NEVER worked at a movie theater
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣"Margaret cares " please bring this guy back
ebony berry i’m the 420th like and i’ve never been so proud
Yes! Need to see more of him 💀

snuck a whole KFC meal into the theatre and the guy that was ticketing us just cracked up laughing so I gave him a wing 😂 fun day
I brought cup noodles their before
One time I brought a whole bottle of margarita mix in my purse
Lol XD
r/thathappened
Rachael Nawrock LMAO
I’ve always wondered which movie seat arm rest is yours...?
both
Lul the one on the right
@@jeanette8133 lmao
Left. Meaning the person on the right aisle seat gets both.
HazelReys it could be the right and the person on the left of the aisle get 2 it makes sense because more people are right handed
The girl in black is like a goth Anna Kendrick.
She has N O T H I N G on Anna Kendrick.
She a freak too
YESS!
She hot

“*You breath the wrong way Banned*”

The guy with the tats was funny af especially at the Margret part
How does this not have comments?
Bounty The quicker picker upper there’s always a margret at every single place
ikr I laughed so hard bc my boss’s name is Margaret and I died
Cute too 😁
Yessss 🤣🤣🤣🤣 accurate too
I like the big guy when he says.
"How did you miss?"
😂🤣
That part took me out!😂
Sameeeeeeee
I've wondered that same thing many times. You wonder if they do that at their home or apartment also. Yuck! I've cleaned apartments, and some people are just...lazzzzzzy and gross!
As a former movie theatre employee, I can say that all of this is 100% accurate 🙃
More secrets if you have any pls
wavey VEXphoh if you say you dropped your popcorn we will fill it for free... you dropped the cup? We will give you one for free 😂
SNACS actually? even if you have no proof
@@thestick1mooinacup972 The popcorn costs nothing at a theatre. They charge by the cup, bag, bucket, etc. Or atleast where I worked at they did.
I work as usher and concession and all is true
I snuck a full pizza box into avengers on Saturday 😂
Liam proud of u
Liam i felt that
I snuck 20 MC nuggets 5 chicken mayo burger a coke and milkshake
@Liam nice one 😂
How?!
I want to see this for hotel employees. We will spill all the tea 🐸 ☕️ and trust me you don’t understand the things hotel employees have to put up with especially when we always have to be nice
Alex B They do have one for hotels !!
My mum use to work in hotels when she was younger and said it wasn’t all bad. They find a lot of forgotten items and once my mum found an open briefcase with $1300 in it
Lol do one for housekeepers I worked as one during the summer and it was at a nice hotel but watching how some of the housekeepers clean and the fact that we didn't always change blankets and stuff on the bed makes me not even want to stay at a hotel lol
@@paradiceeraves If I have to stay at a hotel I'll bring my UV flashlight and check everything to make sure the bedding is clean. If it's not I'd make them change it. If you don't want wanna spare the $20 for the UV flashlight then bring your own sheets and blankets. Might sound extreme but most hotels aren't as clean as you may think they are.
My best friend works at a hotel and she says there’s always elderly people yelling at the staff for things like “not enough towels” when they have 15 towers stacked in their bathroom lol
I'm about to start lugging around a giant ass bottle of rubbing alcohol to sanitize my movie seats with lol
Hajira S. Right?? Let hold on let me get that portable shampooer 😂😂🤣🤣
most theaters have janitors that come in after house that will steam the seats once a month
Banned
HAHAHAHAHHAGAG
Same 💀
that girl with the black hair is so chill 😂
I loooove her
Clot-in-Eye Joe a man of taste I see
_After this video_ : *_they all fired!!_*
Clearly says FORMER EMPLOYEES in description...
the description says former employees
@@leozhen9329 shut up the guy above you told him already
@@nut44896 😂😂😂
The descriptions says the people are former employees
"Its free if you don't get caught."
i love that these people that have a sense of humor
Best kind of employees
It’s not good though
PLEEASE do Walmart I have the HOTTEST tea ☕️
YAAAAS
Prob cold now
Genuinely DL just spill it here we’re listening
Come back and spill it for us 😭
Genuinely DL doooooo shareeee
"Never seen the theater with the lights on" what theater do you go to? All the ones I've been to have the lights on like. 10-20 mins before the movie started.
Same! 🙋🙋🙋
Same here
You mean those super dimly lit lights where you can barely see? They have them dim for that reason! Lol. When the theatre is empty and the movie is over, they put on HUGE BRIGHT LIGHTS so the employees can see everything to clean. And then when we’re done cleaning, they dim the lights again to “your normal setting” that you’re used to seeing.
@@StrangeAshley na the ones i go to have actually have bight ass lights on for us
@@StrangeAshley
Wrong, I've been to theaters that have dim lights walking in & I've been to some that had bright lighting walking in. You need to go to more theaters than just the one you've been too.
You breathe the wrong way, BANNED lmfaoo
They’re not going to ban you for that idiot
Stolen
Ian Dot it’s a joke..
Best day or time to go to the movies:
"Probably during the week...."
Siddharth Sabhari Shankar Monday- Friday during school hours so there will be no kids or teenagers disrupting the movies.
Siddharth Sabhari Shankar whats so wtf about that?? Thats obviously the best time no ones there, theyre either in school or at work
Tara Well Saturday and Sunday are part of the week, they commented that because the lady should have said on a weekday. Stop getting so pressed
"During the week" is a common phrase meaning "weekdays." With that expression, the weekend is either end of the week, not during it. Just a different way of cutting up an arbitrary slice of time.
Taagol 😐
Oh my god he actually said “I can’t believe it’s not butter” I’m dying XD
Any 90's kids who had that feeling as kids when you went to a movie theater it felt like you were going to a holy palace?
Yes! The cineplex was my happy place. They tore it down years ago. I was so sad. So many memories.
That doesn’t happen only in the 90’s...
Yes
not only 90s but yeah I guess
90's? You probably just mean childhood buddy...
Wow they should clean the seats after the last movie screening or AT LEAST once a week... that's disgusting
In a regular theatre with 12 screens and 200 to 600 seats per theatre, one theatre would probably take like 10 hours, it would be practical to clean all those seats maybe twice a year. They are fabric, they would need to be steam cleaned
@@Mirandacloud You wouldn't need to clean all the theatres on one day. just alternate.
It's very time consuming and costly. My theater does a thorough deep clean of each auditorium twice a year, and it is literally a full day's work to just do one.
Julia K if you think that’s bad read my latest comment added to the video 🤢
They probably get spritzed with a bit of sanitising spray every now and then, but no hard scrubbing.
“Finger licking good” 😂💀I died
Pahahahaha SAME 😂😂😂🤣
I brought McDonald's into a theater once. Im still shook that they didn't catch me because of the smell
Meadow 26 one theater i went a few years back , the guy was super strict about my subway sandwich lol
Meadow 26 once? I do this all the time lol. Mc Fries and nuggets are my basic theater snacks
Shut up
I'm a movie theater employee and people always think they're being so sneaky when they take hot food in but we can smell it, we just don't care enough to check your bag 😂
of the farts
I can’t sit on a movie seat anymore
Tater Thot you think you can’t... read my latest comment added to the video.... I still have issues with theatres dude....
From now on ill always carry sanitizers and wet wipes, especially to avengers endgame for 3 hours!!!!!!!
Just bring Lysol wipes that's what I do lol
But you sit on a toilet seat..
If you go to a theater with leather seats, they are more than likely safe since they are super easy to clean. If they have old fashion fabric seats... be careful.
LMAOOO PEOPLE ALWAYS GETTING THEIR CHEEKS BUSTED IN THE BACK OF THE MOVIE THEATER
Yelly Samara IM CRYINGGF
Lmao you kno wassup, chocolate
Yelly Samara waiting for my turn LOL
Tbh don’t know how they do that without getting caught
Easy
"it was like right at the base of the toilet and I was like how did you miss" imao🤣
Just like on airplanes. I still dont get how we are not even taking off and the toilet is so dirty 😑
“Yo can I have a beer after?” I think I’m in love with that girl
My brother-in-law and husband use to clean movie theater seats. When they disposed the water in the back afterwards , the water came out *black*
🤢🤢
fab4fan5 some peoples cars are just as bad tho... 💀 but at least some choose leather seats now, easier to clean, and usually the reclining ones
damn...
I think now most movie theater use leather seat
Better than white 😳
@@rg-qm1oi
what do u mean

You're tryna get those free passes huh😂
Joseph Clark oh shoot, ppl its actually him. follow him while you can on his socials 👌👍

The curly headed guy is so funny 😂😂
And so cute... I wish I had his instagram lol
Probably one of the bests I’ve seen of this series 😂😂 “BANNED!!!”
i found a $50 bill cleaning a theater once, went straight to the beach the next day and spent it all
Sean I lost 60 dollars in a movie theatre it fell out of my pocket. Some see that as a big loss. I see it as I made someone’s day.
Sean lmao 😂😂😂😂
My friend was ushing while I worked box office; he found $160 (no wallet, just bills) and our awesome manager told him to keep it.
Please hire the guy with the tattoo, he’s great
NICE PROFILE PICCG
We need his ig
guy that didn’t make it to the toilet watching this: 😳
I work at a movie theater, and I love how all of these statements are accurate!
Most movie theaters hire after hour cleaners. They’re usually the ones that actually clean the seats and everything.
For many locations, the night crew is pretty understaffed and they don't have time to clean hundreds of seats on top of vacuuming the floors, cleaning restrooms and taking garbage out.
Agreed.
The theater I work at sure as hell doesn’t have that. It’s the normal employees that started their shift at 6 or sometimes earlier leaving at 1 or 2AM
The theatre I work at in Sweden do not have that. lol yeah they clean the floors and take out the trash but they do not touch the chairs lol those are done probably twice a year.
I worked as the night crew we worked from 12 am to 6 am we would deep clean the cup holders but not the seats them selves we would just spray them with sanitizer
Afro-curly-haired-fade-boy is funny hahah was your insta boiiii

Nay I don't....I don't see how this relates to OP's comment-
"it was literally like, right at the base of a toilet, how did u miss?"
😂😂🤣🤣
I worked at a movie theater for two years and i can say that everything that they said is 100% accurate!
That's why I never understood why people have sex in the movie theaters. That place is ZIRRRTTTYYYYYYY 😭😭 people trying to catch an STD
dreamerdazegirl Plus it's rude
You can't catch STDs by objects such as seats
@Sydnee Kiara crabs isnt an std it's an sti so no
More like a yeast infection or maybe a cold from the germs lmao but I know what you meant 💀
Thats not how it works, please open a book
People walk in with a huge box of pizza, and they be like, "Eh, as long as it's in your backpack, no one QUACK'N cares "
Or just give a slice or two to the ticket taker 😂 then they won't say anything lol.
This whole video is just a mood, especially when you're a former movie theater employee and can relate so much to everything in the video
*someone brings alcohol into the theatre*
“Yo can I have a beer after”
Lol that’s the best answer no cap
my theater allows beer during the movie so it's not uncommon where I live.
We have a bar at our theater 🤣 and you can bring the drink to your seat 😘
Fr yeah
WHAT? in Europe you can buy alcohol in the theatre or bring your own.
The guy's shirt at 0:37 looks like the carpet at a movie theater
Caleb Medina you are where you work
He bloody fine though
Lol it looks like the design for charter bus seats
But the carpets at the cinemas that I have are all black or grey or just one colour
that shirt is from hollister lolz
Ok time to take a blanket to cover the seats
That's what I was thinking too. But when it actually comes down to it I won't do it.
poisonkiss201 I’ll take a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol and spray the seat and whole area down. I’m not playin
@@aly9652 Lysol or Clorox wipes😂
poisonkiss201 Lmaoo
poisonkiss201 yesss but I do actually carry a small spray bottle of rubbing alcohol and it comes in handy. My friend dropped their keys in a public toilet and yoy cant really wash them well or put hand sanitizer on it that quickly but you could just spray them w the rubbing alcohol and bam. It’s a lil better
One time I was high af and walked into a theater with a Walmart bag full of candy and nobody said a word to me 😂😂
Having worked in a movie theater for 7 years, I can relate this SO MUCH!
In the late 1990's the vintage theatre I worked at had midnight movies. People would try to sneak in all kinds of booze and drugs but we usually found it on them. By the end of the night the closets near the front doors would be full of liquor bottles, beer, and weed. It would be split between the employees along with tips. On other occasions when we knew people were getting funky we would sneak up on them, hide, and when they obviously were climaxing we would all cheer and shower them with ticket stubs. Good times.
LMAOOO
LMFAOOOO No wayyy
Bruh
Lmao mustvr been a fun job
It had some unique moments, that's for sure. It was an independent one screen theatre from the 40's where you could get away with crazy stuff like that at the time. There is a movie somewhere in all this...(:
I used to work in a movie theater and for some reason people didn't think we had a closing time, so whenever someone came late to their movie they got to learn that fun fact.
I worked at Regal when I was in high school. My most memorable moments:
1.Sofa King. A bro came to the lobby with his couch and asked if he could bring it to the auditorium to sit on during the movie. Of course he wasn't allowed, but bless him for trying.
2.Batmam. A lady unleashed a purse filled with bats inside a pact auditorium on a Friday night. One of my co-workers was bitten and had to get a rabies shot.
3.Epic Fail. Our manager accidentally screened Black Hawk Down inside a Monsters Inc. auditorium. A few minutes in, a very angry mom and her crying child stormed out and screamed at the manager. He started crying and left for the day.
4.The Phantom Pisser. Once a week, like clockwork, we would find a courtesy cup (free water cup) filled to the brim with urine in the cupholder of the seat inside one of the auditoriums. In my 4 years of employment at Regal we were never able to catch the sob. It still bothers me to this day
Laughed to hsrd when he said he found a kfc box lol people must of been “smack smack smacfingsrlicking good 😂
This is all true. I’ve caught people having sex, found liquor bottles, no one actually cleans the theater, someone did miss the toilet and pooped everywhere. I did not clean it. Did not get paid enough for that
I’m shocked you guys have to clean the toilets too. I thought there different positions for all of that.
I've had an experience in a theater where the mom of a child a couple seats down let her son watch something on her phone at the HIGHEST volume possible. It was the worst thing in the world. When we asked her to turn it off she said no. Boy, was my dad PISSED.
Next time, have someone go get an employee. She'll get kicked out and you will likely get free passes.
"Its free if you dont get caught" 💀
I love this!! I shoulda been on this, I was a supervisor. I saw everything!!
The guy with the curly hair is so funny~
They seem so chill bruh 😂
Honestly didn't expect this video to be that accurate but it reminded me 100% what it was like working at a large movie theater
these people are literally so chill 🤩
Ikr
The guy with the sleeve had me rolling! He gives me Jaboukie Young White vibes.
Sleeve? Hardly lol
Lol, gay afro-Latino
Tiffany Rodriguez omg wait--
Every. Single. One Of them had sleeves xD
"Finger liking good"😂
I heard that
No you didn't he said licking
Funny to be watching this, I’m currently an employee at a cinema in The Netherlands and it’s almost the opposite here. Seats are thoroughly cleaned once a week, we have around 15 minutes to clean a theatre, employees will actually take the food you brought with you, and there is no ‘oil’ on the popcorn here. The rest is pretty accurate :)
My secret to enter to any movie and not pay for tickets it’s to ask to go for the bathroom, try to be there like 20 minutes or even more and then just enter to any movie, doesn’t matter 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
We went to see the hate you give and we were having whole conversations with random people across the theater. "GIRLLLL I KNOW YOU LYIN" "SHE AINT HAVE TO DO ALL THAT SIS" "HE AINT INVITED TO THE COOKOUT"😂😭 Honestly best movie experience ever
Those are the best where we all vibin and just laugh and clap together. Its like an experience boost
When purge election year came out, at the end when the purge ended they had announcements and all that... one of the characters was like “Is It Over” and I swear the whole movie theater was like “noooo” sarcastically it was so funny😂
That's just annoying tbh
I worked at a theater for 2 years and I never saw them clean the seats, but we also had a night cleaning crew so there’s no way to know how often it gets cleaned by asking a movie theater employee... they wouldn’t be the ones cleaning it
These movie theaters employees are so chill👌
I didn’t know movie hopping had a name but I used to do it with my parents when I was little lol
We did it with dispicable me 3 after we saw spider man
Literally when i worked at the movies i didn’t give af if people brought their own food in as long as they threw their trash away 🤷🏽♀️ because more likely than not, the people who bought stuff at concessions were the ones who left the biggest mess “they get paid to clean it.”
When I worked at a movie theatre, an older woman came to watch a matinee. After the movie, it looked as through she had fallen asleep. My friend went to wake her up, but she didn’t. She has passed away at some point during the movie.
Brittany Lindsey 😳
Dear movie theater owners: Don’t start having employees check every person’s ticket while going into a movie
They already do. What theatres have you been where they don't? What's the point of tickets at all if employees don't check them?
Yortle Bluzzgubbly mine doesn’t at all
They do in the UK. They tear your ticket so if you’re caught with one ripped you’re banned
What's the point of having tickets then? Besides, we have to be able to monitor who's going in where if it's an adult movie. The theatres can get huge fines if there are underage kids in there. Also the retards need to be shown the direction of the theatres because they often can't find them.
I Really enjoyed watching this video and all the helpful advice but most importantly, I enjoyed all the employees in the video, they were funny, honest and have upbeat personalities!... 😉👍
Love when people spill tea about there jobs. 💛💚💙💜
I think movie goers should earn movie theater points for throwing out their garbage. Basically a reward system.
And the reward could be free food or drinks or a free movie.
I know movie goers shouldn't be rewarded for cleaning up their mess. But without any solution, people are going to continue being dirty.
White Emerald_ Cleaning up your trash in a space that isn’t yours is just simple decency though, people should clean up after themselves just because
itll be hard to track who threw n who didnt
I work at a movie theatre. We sweep up everything on the floor, use 409 to clean the seats. And when it’s closed we take the seat cover off and get all the stuff out from under it
I feel like they brought only the most chill movie theater employees
Movies are expensive that is why I use illegal websites like everyone else
Not everyone...
Spongebob SquarePants honestly I just watch movies on discounted days
Spongebob SquarePants the snacks are also expensive
Vanida Kotimanusvanij that’s how they make money they don’t make that much money from movie tickets so all the revenue comes from the snacks
Tater Thot I go to the matinee it’s $1 or $2 cheaper
Next video: Chuck E Cheese reveals secrets
Chuck E. Cheese employee: yes we do re use our pizza
Edit: I’m a small RUclipsr would mean a lot if you subscribed !
Still waiting
You don't know for sure🤔😑🤦🏻
Shane Dawson is just a trashy idiot ugh in my opinion
No offense
Don't @ me
They don’t though
I worked at chuck e cheese 4 years. They 100% re use their pizza.
I've worked at cec for almost 4 yrs and we don't.
😂 this is disgusting, "almost" makes me want to not go to the movies😂😂😂😂💛💛💛
accurate. Ah..brings memories back to the old days of working in the theatre
these employees are so chill I wish my theatre was like that lol
Oh my GOD. I remember my dad would take us to the discount theatre and we would by one ticket in the morning and sneak into 3 other movies afterwards.
That sounds like such an awesome cheat and I wish I had the guts to do the same. Did you ever get caught by employees or nah?
I love that one guy he has a great personality
And when I go to the movies, sometimes I carry a bottle of hot sauce, I like my popcorn with hot sauce
I got hot sauce on my bag swag🐝
Dude with the nose piercing needs his own show fr
I work in a movie theater I just became a supervisor and I must say I found a bitten used tampon once when I was floor staff
Bitten AND used!? 🤢
Finger lickin good
The one chick that talked about the guy taking in groceries is so precious.
We would sing "Under the Seats" (tune of under the sea) every time we cleaned
I brought taco bell in along with my $1 boxed candy, microwaved popcorn and soda.
@The CheNenVers // CNV I'm not a youtuber??? I'm not trying to have a channel???? I'm just a normal person who watches videos and post some for fun. Why would you try and criticize me?
@The CheNenVers // CNV yeah dude that is mean.
The CheNenVers // CNV nah fam you tried to talk down to someone when you yourself got 39 subs 🤣🤣pathetic
@The CheNenVers // CNV ass
Saaaame 🤣 stop right by the dollar store before a movie even Taco Bell
My dad used to work in a movie theater and he told me that when they clean under the seats they just push the trash under the seats. He also told me that if you go on a busy day the popcorn will be fresh, if it is not busy the popcorn is not fresh.
Story time: My sisters, dad and I went to a movie, we sat in the back and at the end this girl when to the corner next to our road, then peed there. My dad told the manager and got her and her family banned from the movie theater 😂
Ansi Lee we are everywhere 😂
i loove these "employers answer/tell secrets" videos!
We have this theatre that does $6 dollar Tuesdays. It’s nothing fancy but it was still really good for the price. We would get insanely high in the parking lot, bring backpacks and stop by bulk barn for bags of chocolates and candies then stop by the food court for whatever food we wanted during the movie. It was so awesome especially for people who can’t eat until they’ve picked something to watch.
In my city we have discount day where on Tuesdays and Sundays movie tickets are 5$
Same here. And on days like Christmas or new years eve the tickets are 40-50% off. They also give you popcorn for free if its your birthday lol.
Regal cinemas, right?
Guy in the patterned shirt spilling all the tea
My good times were when I still go to movie theaters more often take me back only listening to new rock bands like the delta parole makes me feel the same good time feelings.
I love the attitudes of these people. They are so funny
