Clearing away your own rubbish.

Its funny as when I take the kids they usually get 2 medium popcorns & the staff always over fill them like an icecream cones, they almost look a little annoyed when I ask them to take some out & not over fill them as I dont want the kids dropping them all over the floor, they always reply we clean it up.

Try working at Primark. People quite happily knock piles of clothes or rows of shoes to the floor, grab what they want and walk off. They don't pay an extortionate entrance fee and the clothes are extremely cheap, yet they still feel entitled to treat the store however they want.

Because I've paid £8 to see the film, then £5 for a box of popcorn and £3 for a drink.

Am I going to clear it up as well? Am I ****

This!

Never have done, it's part of the cinema experiance :D
Come to think of it though, it's the only place I would do that, I'm pretty litter concious.

Cinema, and extortionate multistorey car parks, £12.50 for 4hrs?? Yeah you're taking the **** so while you're at it, take some of my **** from the passenger footwell.

I know you said this with a sense of 1up-manship, But people like you annoy the hell out of me then. Staff cant always clear up after your lazyness, whether its due to having to serve on tills, or clean elsewhere. You're the reason the next person looking for a table has to clean up after you! There are bins in the restaurant, Stop being a lazy chuff and clean up after yourself, it takes 10 seconds out of your day.
 
I'm usually very conscientious about cleaning away my rubbish and will gladly hold on to a choc wrapper until I find a bin. I do however always leave my popcorn behind for some reason. Perhaps its a subconscious objection to the obscene price I paid in the first place.
 
I'd leave an empty popcorn box in the cinema, certain places you expect to have things cleared away for you.

Do you really expect a couple of hundred people leaving a cinema to form an orderly queue to put their crap in your 18 bins? It is just not practical.
 
The only place I don't take my rubbish away with me is at the cinema. As others have said, if the prices were reasonable I'd be more inclined to clear up after myself.

Also, at most cinema's I've been to there are a few employees standing at the front ready to clear up. This gives the impression it's OK to leave your stuff. If someone brought a bin in at the end with a sign saying something like 'Please put your rubbish here' I'd probably do that however the bins at my local are at the end of the hall near the main entrance. I go out the side entrace which faces the car park which doesn't have any bins.
 
Tbh i'd normally leave it, but it'd be all nicely folded up and put into the cup in the cup holder :):)

EDIT: Good point about the price, just remember how horrific the prices are!

Next time im in the Cinema im going to poo in the cup holder as a show of protest.
 
I think the "I can't be bothered" policy is a problem with the lazy society we have become.. Like people taking two car spaces, we have become a victim of our own conveniences.
 
Sitting in the dark eating overpriced junk and watching a film that may not be all the good. All the time listening to yappy teenagers that the cinema staff will not do anything about. You thing people are going to tidy up after paying for that?

Hardly a fair analogy though. People are lazy with their litter in cinema's because they know that people like the op are employed specifically to deal with such problems and probably wouldn't be lucky enough to be in employment otherwise. Whereas the car thing is just plain lack of brane sells.


(sic).

I thought the extortionate price was because they pay for someone to pick up after us too?

Always take my rubbish out when watching something at Broadway in Nottingham though.

Generally cars parked over 2 spaces tend to be for reasons;

Women drivers
+
The Car Concienious - not wanting any dings.

Personally I condone taking over 2 spaces if it's a nice car, I'm absolutely sick fed up with idiots parking next to me far too close and allowing their offspring to barge out the door straight into mine.
 
I wouldn't dream of leaving rubbish just because somebody else is paid to remove it.
What really annoys me are people who leave trolleys in supermarket car parks, often only 10 feet from the trolley bay, either blocking a foot path or parking space for everybody else. Lazy oiks.
 
I'm normally a very clean person, I always hold my empty wrappers & packets in my pocket until I walk by a bin, never litter, clean up after myself.

Just something about paying £13 for a ****ing cinema ticket with complementary **** service, along with £10 for a drink & popcorn just strikes me as a massive **** you.

I don't throw my **** everywhere but I've got no problem leaving my popcorn in the cinema. I know it's not the cleaners who set the prices & stuff but at my cinema there's a guy standing at the bottom saying "don't laugh, don't talk, be quiet" and if you laugh too much, even in a comedy, he will come and say "one more time and you're out" and this guy is also the cleaner.

****ing threatened to throw me out when I watched pineapple express because I was dying with laughter, **** that what a jobswerth ****.
 
Do people actually go out of their way to leave their **** in the cinema? I don't go very often due to the price, but when I do I usually just have a drink and a bag of Skittles or something that I share with whoever comes with me and at the end of the movie the rubbish is deposited in the bins, it doesn't matter if they're at the end of a corridor or whatever, that's just an excuse lazy people are using who can't be bothered to clean up after themselves. It isn't hard to put your rubbish in the drinks cup and then throw the cup in the bin on your way out, people who say that if they didn't litter then the cleaner would be out of a job well what a crap excuse. I'm sure that person doesn't solely clean the cinema, they will be working on the tills / taking tickets at some point as well.
