Who Really Cares?

One thing has been on my mind since I saw Good Luck Chuck last Friday night. Okay so it hasn't been on my mind, but I needed something to write about and I thought this would cover it.

So I went to see Good Luck Chuck last Friday with a junior girl and some other guys. Us seniors got in with no trouble at all but the junior couldn't get in by herself. Luckily some old lady was going to see the same movie and told the usher that was checking I.D's, the junior was with her.



I told you this story because the people who work at the movie theaters can be a huge pain in the ass. The usher knew she was only 16( 4 days away form 17) but told her to find somebody at least 21 to get her in. First of all, if that's the case she going to see the movie anyway. And secondly, who really cares? The movie theater shouldn't care because it's their loss if she doesn't but a ticket.



When I went up to buy my ticket, the cashier asked to see my identification because it was an R rated film. I put my wallet back and within 45 seconds I had to take out my wallet again. That can drive you nuts if you went out to eat and had to take out your wallet, let's say 5 times, because the waitress was new and didn't know what she was doing.



Anyways, I guess where I'm going with this is that it's unnecessary to have the theater check somebody's I.D 2 or 3 times. Plus it's pointless to check I.D's if somebody is just going to sneak in anyway. Oh and the ushers don't really care either but they have to do this because if they don't, they might get fired. Well, I'm going to tell the manager at the Southdale theaters that Jim let in a 16 year old junior to an R rated film. That might show 'em.
