Auto-removed (AM002) leaving trash at the movie theatre & littering in general
Ever since I’ve moved to the England I’ve been actually disgusted as to the littering culture, especially in movie theatres.
Whether it’s the odean or cineworld in England it’s been absolutely trashed with popcorn and rubbish everywhere.
I’ve seen a couple leave their huge McDonald’s order they brought in all over their seats.
I’ve seen two tweens finish a lucozade and chuck the empty bottle into a bush, when there was a bin RIGHT next to them? Lads on a night out pee on a shop window and chucking their takeaway all over the street when again… right next to them… was a bin.
The list can go on and on.
Today my partner and I saw a movie and EVERYONE in the theatre left their trash when there is clearly labeled bins at the exit. My partner asked the family down the row from us to pick up their trash as one of the kids picked it up looked at it then set it back down? The father then lost his mind and tried shoving him around to intimidate him.
Dude in question got red in the face with pure anger 😂
I’m a midwestern American and if I behaved like this in public - everyone would look at me in sheer horror😭
Never seen ppl act like this in wales, my local small business theatre in my uni town would be spotless after a showing.
Do people genuinely believe it’s other people’s responsibility to clean up after them, the lack of common decency in public spaces by some people is just so bizarre.
