    then the theatre will be empty, have you looked around and checked out how many foreigners there are in there?

    I must admit when we seen The Conquering on the suspense parts a lot of people jumped out of their skins, but not unruly, not a single cell phone in sight, I believe since I complained to the Manager things have improved, he put up the no cell phones message in all 3 cinemas, the guards did stop people from using their cells, so if we keep complaining it will improve, I was very polite to the manager and pointed out that people pay for a movie not to listen to idiots talking and texting with those big arse cp's that blind you if you are behind them. I kicked the chair of one woman every time she started txting was ready to throw a handful of popcorn at her but thought better of that cause I was hungry.

    Absolutely.
    But have you looked around and seen anyone who gives a f-k? Not many has come to the insight that there is a relation between income from customer and salary paid out. If foreigners (or anyone else) complains? Solve the problem, i.e. get rid of them. You will get your salary anyway.
    If the establishment you work for get bankrupt? Bummer, it wasn't your fault.

    We went and saw "Rush" today. Very good movie. Very few people in the theater, about 20, about half of them were foreigners.

    Went to see insidious last night, thought seeing it late was a good idea, and that it had been most likely seen by all the locals already, and it would be a good viewing, ohhh what a mistake, the place was half full of students and bayots, I asked the bayots behind me to shut up they did to some point, the students were very vocal, it was as if they thought they were in their own lounge room watching TV with their family, commenting and giving a commentary to their friends
    Cell phones were again being used by many, those big arse touch screens are a big pain in the butt if you are behind them, and it’s like as flash light being pointed at you.
    It was a real joke; I would defiantly not go see a slightly scary movie in Rob mall theatre ever again, the manager needs to do something about this unruly behavior, we all pay for our seats and most foreigners are regular movie viewers.

    Hmm, so it seems that a list of when college classes are out would be very beneficial to movie goers.

    You can go get some payback. Many of them sit at McDonald's and study. Go walk around McDonald's and give out random screams and then get a spotlight or laser and point it in their faces when they seem to be concentrating. :wink:
