Ethno, are you American or Canadian?
I wonder if it's a cultural thing...
That's just rude, I'd smack a friend if they did that.

Disrespectful yes, but the amount of money they make from ONE person to see a 1:30min -2hr movie is disrespectful.

Obviously its a 'cultural thing'. Which isnt something to be proud of imo. People like Ethno are the reason religious doctrines have some use, since direct perception of harmony and balance just go over their heads and they need to be told wrong from right. This has nothing to do with the movie theater having to pick up his trash, they get payed for it after all, but the act of littering is counter-harmonious to begin with, even if you do it in the middle of nowhere where no one will ever find the trash.

I used to think like that until I realized it is pretty disrespectful to whoever has to clean that shit up.
I could careless either way. I started putting myself in other peoples shoes when I realized I was a dick to pretty much everyone I didn't know and now I like to give a certain amount of respect out and expect a certain amount of respect back.
You could also look at it as job security for whoever has to clean up after you I guess.....

Yes, but I would argue that the people that clean it up aren't the ones that determine the price so leaving trash for that reason is not effective.

I used to throw trash on the floor everywhere, using the justification "If there wasn't a mess, the janitor would lose his job" or something of that juvenile nature. Now I do it extremely extremely rarely. ...its usually at peoples' houses who I dont know when i'm really wasted.

If 100+ ppl did it than they would have to hire more kids, and help the economy.

But if you wernt picking up my garbage what else would you be doing? Do you get full medical and dental? For fucks sakes $9 a head for a movie during the day must be paying for something 
Haha. I hear you man. We've all done it. This actually made me laugh out loud because I totally used to love leaving all of my trash on the floor in the movie theater...spill the rest of the popcorn all over and everything. But I was a little bastard. I wouldn't do that now. I won't even litter a cigarette butt. Littering really bugs me, anywhere.

Not picking on anyone here, but don't throw trash down. Sure, the movies are expensive as fuck, let alone the food/drinks, but no one is making you go there.
Maybe throwing trash down does make mare jobs, but if people didn't, maybe it could make it cheaper. I know it won't, but it comes from the same state of mind.

yeah man... the kids who work at the theaters here get paid $6.25, which is lower than the minimum. i'm pretty sure all the money that's made going to the theater, goes to the people making the movie. every theater that i go to is complete crap and some smell like piss. but after paying that price to watch a damn movie, i sat my ass down like a boss.... and threw away my trash.
plus do you really think all those kids really care to pick up your trash? i bet they just leave it for the next people to come and step in it. lazy lil terds.

How about stop being a filthy, lazy fat fucking pig and clean up your damn mess. Having that kind of habit in the theater can be easily carried over everywhere else your dirty ass goes.
Pretty soon you're gonna be saying it's ok to litter on the beach because there's already people that pick up the trash.

I throw out my trash at the movies, but if there's too much stuff to carry I don't get hung up on leaving something behind. Likewise if I have a free hand I'll sometimes throw out something someone else has left behind. I guess I take the "Leave a penny, take a penny" mentality.
The prices for food/candy/drinks at movie theaters are definitely outrageous, though, to the point where I can understand why some folks might think twice about digging around under the seat in front of them for garbage.

Actually, the more time (and therefore money) that must be spent picking up after folks who leave their trash behind, the more the theater will have to charge for food/candy/drinks. It's self-defeating to leave behind trash as a protest on the price, if you think about it.

This is a fucking outrage. A blatant disregard by both my fiance, and the movie establishments on "The Unwritten Rule".
Tell me im wrong!
you're wrong... it's typically written on plaques on the walls and written on the big screen before the movie starts
it is in fact a written rule
