Dear Concession Salesgirl,
I respect that you have a job to do. You job is to up sell. Offer me extra butter, see if I want a bigger pop, perhaps I want a combo? No to all. Hmm. Well, Can I offer you a membership in our rewards program? AHHHH. Dear girl...my movie starts in like 2 minutes and I've been informed it is a sold out show, I really don't want to be in the front row..can I please just have the popcorn and slushie and move along!!!
Signed
Girl in a Hurry
Dear Cinepex Odeon,
Your ticket prices have skyrocketed, your theatres are too cold, your popcorn prices are ridiculous. I have accepted all of that. I am not impressed that after paying to see the movie of my choice I must sit through commercials? Commercials for milk and cell phones? If I wanted commercials I would have waited to see this movie on TV. Bring on the pre-views, bring on the show. Keep your crap 7 minutes of commercials.
Signed
Glad I rushed at the Concession stand so I wouldn't miss these commercials
Dear Texting Girl,
Turn off your cell phone in the movies means just that. Turn off your phone and stop your crazy texting. I don't need to be distracted by your little blue screen during a pivotal moment in the movie. Sex scene plus your blue screen and doot doot doot. Anti-Climatic.
Signed
Getting annoyed now.
Dear Sir -Sitting Beside Me,
Oh Sweetie. Didn't your Mommy ever tell about a little thing called the shower? If you knew about this glorious invention and the added benefit of deodorant my experience last night would have been so much more pleasant. Every time you lift your arm to grab some popcorn I gag. Each time the air kicks in I'm forced to plug my nose. You see dear, this is probably why your date didn't show up last night. She didn't know how to tell you the embarrassing news...you smell.
Signed
Girl choking on your B.O. that should have stayed home

lol... to funny and great letters!
Great letters, but you forgot the one to the person that leaves on cell phone, it goes off and they answer it.
I haven't been to the movies in ages, now I remember why!!
Un - Showered Man!!!!! ( I thought I was the only person on earth ever to be stuck next to him.... I guess he gets around!!!)
Text girl....
How much you want to bet she was texting her BFF in the lobby???
They heard about the extra butter for the popcorn, that you passed up!!
Going to the movies is expensive isn't it? Between the ticket price and the popcorn and pop. And those damn commercials that everyone is subjected to. Argh. Nice letters!
muahahaha.
Love the letters. I have been there way too many times!
Oh my! LOL
I gotta have me a slushie from the movies.
Oh my gosh! So funny! And I have wanted to write all of those at one time!!! Great stuff!
nothing like a nice relaxing time at the movies, ha ha
Waiting for the DVD to come out sounds better and better. Thank you, MM.
LMAO, love your post!!!
Smooches,
Sassy Chica
Okay, now I don't feel so badly that I haven't been to the movies in ages. I'll just keep waiting till they come out on dvd and do the home theater with no line for popcorn/candy thing :)
Cute letters! Let us know if you hear back from any of them!
Ha, those were great! Especially the body odor one!
HA! I was a movie theatre manager way back when so I definitely understand where you are coming from. I used to make a commission from those extra concession sales so they were important to me! I would write a letter to the patron who comes out of the movie at the very end and asks for his or her money back because the movie was bad. Believe it or not, those people always got passes to come to another movie. UGH!
And now I know why I wait for movies to go to DVD. I hate how people think texting during a movie is OK.
I'm sorry you didn't have the best night, but that is hilarious. Not only that but it is too true, and the very reason I either don't go to the theater, or go when the movie is old!
Oh my gosh, were you even able to enjoy your movie?!? LOL!
Too funny!!! How much is it for you to go to the movies over there? I went the other week and it was £9 each xx
Jennifer-We were able to enjoy ourselves because eventually it just all started striking us as so so funny! What could we do but coer our noses and laugh?
Girl with the Golden Touch-It costs us $10.99 Canadian to see a flick here.
It's enough to make you stay at home with a DVD!
This does not sound like a good night out. Now, I remember why I usually wait for them on DVD. :)
s texting girl was at your movie theater too?! she gets around!!
Great letters. For sure... Too funny....
Ummmm, so I'm guessing you didn't have a good time...
Thanks for the reminder of why we don't go "out" to the movies very often!
I love your passive agressive letters so funny,i don't know how you sat there i would have sat in the aisle rather than gag through the film - your a brave woman :)
Hilarious! Makes me feel less bad about not going to a movie in 11+ months!
Great laugh at the end of a long day.
That is such a bummer! Given that you have to sell a kidney to even get into the movies these days the experience should be PERFECT.
Posted some letters today too at my new blog ..here is the link:
http://kristi-keepingitreal.blogspot.com/
And that is why I go to the movies in the middle of the afternoon by myself. The only one who can annoy me is me.
All of those reasons are why I rarely go to the movies. I am super sensitive to people talking around me and I always seem to sit in front of or behind loud talkers. I hate it!! So, I don't go anymore.
Those were great!!
ps. I sent out your cards today!!:)
Great letters.
You can buy a cell phone jammer on ebay :-) I take mine to the movies.
It's getting harder and harder for me to go out in public, especially after working with the public. Some people are stupid and gross and there is no cure, at least I haven't found one yet.
I'm working on a cure!
Hugs!!
I am with you on the texting. Last weekend at the movies was the first time I experienced how annoying this is. The person in front of me texted thoughout the entire movie! And that lit up blue screen was very distracting! Grrr!
LOL I LOVE THIS!!
I may have to steal this idea, just to be able to vent...
Thanks for stopping by!!! =)
ROFL! to all of your "dears" LOL
sounds like an interesting movie! I particularly like the smelly man one!
LOL you cracking me up, maybe one of the reasons I haven't been to a movie theather in years ... ;)
Loving the letters!
OMG! This was hilarious! Amazing how you just wanted to see a good flick with some good popcorn and you had to deal with all of that?!
Love this post! Don't forget those people who put their feet up on the chair in front of them, especially in the summer when you have to look at their bare toes. And of course, those who talk back to the screen.
"DON'T GO IN THERE!"
Those are hilarious letters! Now I know why I hardly ever go to the movies anymore! At least at home I can get peace and quiet... after the boys go to sleep that is!
LOL! You know what would make this more fun? Print this out and post it at the movie theater ;-)
muhahaha
You are so funny.... great letters.
Sometimes going out to the movies is just soooooo not worth it.....sigh!
Oh, boy.
I think theses are the very reasons I don't spend money at the theater anymore!
But, it's so much more fun to be passive aggressive, isn't it?
Freaking hilarious and all so very true. Hate the texter, hate the freezing theater, hate the stinky man. I'd like to add a couple to that, the person who sings along to the songs in the movie (tip: never see a movie set to Beatles music in the theater), and the dude who doesn't understand personal space, puts his leg between your seat and his, and then proceeds to shake his leg throughout the movie, causing your chair to go up and down rapidly with his leg (not as erotic as it sounds).
Awesome letters. It made me laugh.
Did we go to the same movie at the same time? Seriously sounds familiar...
Great letters!
Ah, going to the movies. So glamorous. It's why I wait for the DVD! Getting gum on the back of my pants again, no.
Coming to you from Domestically Challenged?
Sounds like a typical night at the movies alright. I always get the little kid kicking my seat 5,000 times while mom enjoys herself in la la land.
Time for you to come for a visit in the Poconos. The movie theater is almost always empty, and the prices are cheap. It's still a little cold inside, I guess some things never change. But if you ask real nice, the concession lady will go upstairs and make you a turkey sandwich.
Great letters..very funny!!!
yeah - we take our kids to the movie and it is $60 bucks!! crazy!
here is a link to free drink with a popcorn:

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!! lol!
Your upselling girl reminded me of going to the bank. I'm so frickin sick of them trying to get me to sign up for something...a new credit card, investing, a new account....
LEAVE ME ALONE. lol
thank goodness for netflix and blockbuster!!! too funny!
I love going to the movies but I have to say, I have experienced at least one of each of these scenarios at some point in time. We now drive further away to a cleaner nicer theatre.
These are so funny and such good therapy!
More power to DVD watching at home :))
So funny! I just came across a gentleman in the grocery store with terrible B.O. - isn't that the worst? You'd think people would know if they smell, LOL!
Love your blog, am now following!
