Current Events > I got in a fight in line with people at AMC theater last night

(+) Yeah! (+)

So they have the regular line and then a special line for AMC Stubs Premiere members, which I am.

Since there were a lot of people waiting in the regular line and I wanted to order popcorn, I went into my Premiere line. Well as soon as I walked up, the register opened and they just said "next in line."

For this to work, the cashiers need to know what's going on and direct WHO exactly is next, because they clearly had no idea and wanted us to work it out amongst ourselves.

So this lady started walking very slowly to the register. I had just walked up and wasn't saying anything, but she had been up to the register and then turned and walked back to me and started yelling at me "I don't know, we've been standing here all this time!!"

I just got so mad that she was yelling at me and I yelled back "So fucking go, I didn't say shit to you!" Then she walked up and I said some more expletives for women at her that I won't repeat here. She had like teen boys with her too that started staring me down and I dared them to do something.

So then when the other register opened, once again the dude just looked at both of us and said "Um... Whoever was next." So I just walked up and ordered.

It's a really bad system. Skipping the line is supposed to be a perk of being a paying member which I am, but they're making it so nobody knows what to do and gets into fights.

She was yelling and waving her arms in my face all crazy and I had just walked up. It was super awkward. I had to yell back.

You didn't have to yell back. You chose to yell back, but you didn't have to.

Sorry, I mean I'm an actual man, not a soyboy wimp, so I had to yell back.

^ did it make you feel better?

You don't sound like a man to me tbqh
You don't even sound like an adult

Oh sure, you're such a big tough boy yelling at a woman and her kids. I bet you felt like a big burly manly man.

Again, it's called returning the favor. I bet you also think I should just stand there and take it if a woman started punching me rather than knocking her out?

LOL.

Sure, TC, sure. Such a well adjusted adult getting so upset about a line for snacks at a movie theater.

im starting to think TC is Hothlin

Knocking a mother out isn't manly, if she started punching you, you dodge and restrain her movements and wait for security.

If you're a man and not a soyboy like you claim, you should be able to stop her punches with little to no difficulty.

You don't need to act like a tough guy in front of the boys. What a great night for the kids that would've been though, some prick threatens to beat the shit out of them because you started yelling at their mom.

Can't control how other people behave, but you can control how you behave. And you behaved like a child.

Wow really? This sounds familiar, I think I've heard it before.... uh, DUH!

I think the winners are the ones who aren't paying money for AMC Stubs

Man thats crazy. The other day something similar happened to me! So they have the regular line and then a special line for AMC Stubs Premiere members, which I am.

Well it costs $30 for the year, and so far I've gotten $50 of rewards back from it. So...

It's actually a really great thing to pair up with MoviePass. Every time I go, I put in my account number when I buy the tickets, so the system thinks I'm buying all these tickets, and after every $25 spent, I get a $5 reward back. It's the perfect scam.
---

Seriously though, I get what you're saying.

Similar thing happened a few months back at some weird Boston theater. I use Atom, so I just scan my phone but this place made you go to the ticket guys to get a physical ticket.

So there was a huge line which I got in and then saw this premium line and just went next. Everybody was looking at me like I stole something from them, but I ignored it and went in.

This is laughable.

I know, that lady was nuts. Glad I can laugh about it now though.

By the way, I was seeing I, Tonya with my mom, and it was a real delight. Hilarious movie and it changes everything we thought we knew about the situation.

You tried to shout down a woman and her sons. You're not a man. You're a certified soyboy.

I'm not sure I fully understand the logistics of the lines here and exactly how this is supposed to work.

Would it be beneficial if I drew a diagram?

This is nuts. So they have the regular line and then a special line for AMC Stubs Premiere members, which I work at.

Since there were a lot of people waiting in the regular line I decided I'll be a dick and pull from the Premiere line which was empty besides some douche that just strolled up. Just to make shit even more confusing I stared off at no one in paticular and said "next in line."

For this to work, I need to know what's going on and directly WHO exactly is next, because I clearly had no idea and wanted to see this douche get his ass beat by some teenagers.

So this lady started walking very slowly to the register. That entitled Premiere guy just walked up and wasn't saying anything, but she had been up to the register and then turned and walked back to him and said to him"I don't know, we've been standing here all this time"

Premiere guy got so mad that she was getting to order first he yelled back "So f***ing go, I didn't say s*** to you!" Then she walked up and Stubs guy said more expletives for women at her that I won't repeat here. She had like teen boys with her too that started staring down Premiere guy. I think this was the point in which guy realized being a Premiere Stubs member will not save you from getting your ass kicked across the cinema by a couple teenagers.

So then when the other register opened, once again my boy just looked into space"Um... Whoever was next." Premiere guy walks up crying like a bitch and apologizes saying some shit like "I'm not usually like this!".

It's a really awesome system. Skipping the line is supposed to be a perk of being a paying member but thinking your some fucking celebrity because you got a Stubs membership is hilarious. Love seeing those guys get punked out by teenagers.

Hmm, the entire concept is new and fascinating to me, so I did a quick google search:

http://2guys1review.com/2017/02/13/lone-problem-amc-stubs/

So yeah, this thing exists and man, I think it'd just be an awful idea. If too many people do the premiere thing, then nobody in the normal line would ever be served, so everyone would have to eventually buy the premiere thing, and then you're back to one big line.

Actually.

Wait.

This is kinda like the whole lack of net neutrality thing, this is what Comcast would do.

I don't like it.

Haha get fucked TC

This is how a copy pasta is born

It's basically like the Fast Pass you would see at Amusement parks, which I think is a horseshit system

as a former manager of AMC i would have thrown u the fuck out

however yes, the teens we hired sometimes had trouble with this. i was the only manager in my theater to have a dedicated Premiere register or 2 depending on volume

I agree with you that AMC Stubs Premiere line isn't treated like they promise to. I've been to countless AMC theaters, and I order popcorn every time, and every time I waited in the Premiere line, they never acknowledge it and just wait for the next person to go up.

this is triggering me

i should get back into the game

I waited in line in the Premiere line (by mistake) at AMC one time and had no issues. The issue, though, is that I'm not a Premiere member. And no one cared or even asked me. So.. yeah, dumb system is dumb

I dont know why you felt this outburst was necessary.

Btw TC, since you saw that with your Mom, did she discipline you after you said all that to that woman?

TC is pathetic. He was probably actually scared of the teenagers which is why he came here pretending he stared them down or whatever. Also nice Weaboo username, and GG going to the movies by yourself, no wonder you were in a pissy mood

Edit: Oh wait, you went with your mom. My mistake, lol
