“The airline has the right to make people leave business class if they are disturbing other passengers”

That’s the thing though. Any other time the airlines would boot them off the plane! Hundreds of police cam videos of this too. Adults acting up and have to be carried off. Yet when it’s a child the staff don’t say a word?

“A movie theater has the right to make people leave if they are interfering with people’s ability to enjoy the movie but the movie theater does not employ people to enforce this, as they used to do. That’s why when if people are texting while the movie is going, the theater should refund others’ ticket money but they don’t”

I had the misfortune recently of attending a movie where a dad brought in a small child who would not STFU. I said something to the dad but the kid still would not be quiet. I left the theater and told the manager and she gave me a ticket to another showing. Mind you this movie was PG-13 and this kid was under 5. We can suspect that dad did not want to pay for a sitter because this movie was not age appropriate.
Now you may say that ended well because I got another ticket to a different show but now the theater is out the cost of that ticket because dad could not make his brat shut up. I wonder how many other times this happens across America? Maybe that is why theater tickets cost so much?

It’s hard to watch people being ridiculous and also exposing their kids to sex and or violence that’s disturbing and confusing to them, they have the right o do it

The theater is responsible to make the movie enjoyable to you

I never engage directly with misbehaving people. Getting out and getting a ticket to another show is the best and only way out. It is inconvenient. But people are going to be idiots

It lets the theater know you’re not happy about this.

One thing theaters and other places Can do is sell a particular showing where they give you a free soda or so and enforce a de
Dress code. No one under 13 allowed something like that

When people dress better they act better
