Zero Tolerance-STL

ZERO Tolerance - Noise makers
ZERO Tolerance!!! With the price of movies there should be a ZERO Tolerance for everyone! PERIOD!! I'm so tired of seeing babies, toddlers and kids (under the age of 12) in Rated- R movies...after 8-9pm!! What’s going on with society? The movie companies state that their “Family” oriented but I don't understand why they would allow such a disgrace to their establishment, name and affiliates...If I choose to go to the movies, I must pay and encounter these kids CRYING, RUNNING, TALKING, the TEXTING LIGHT, PHONE RINGING, etc. during the movie- I ask, why go? A few weeks ago, as I watched the movie 'Legion' (Rated- R), the children (there were 6 kids there under the age of 5) started to repeat the language...one child yelled the 'F' word out loud!!! One lady had a baby that kept crying (age: under 1). Another lady with her baby kept walking in and out of the theatre due to the cries from her baby, at one point she stood in the walk-way (WITH HER CRYING BABY) and watched the movie! Totally disturbing EVERYONE….Are you kidding me!!??!! Others and myself had complained about the children- management sent an orderlie. He came in, walked across the main isle walkway and left. No one was escorted out, nothing was done…Managements response is comical. The children and kids are running this ADULT themed business. I guess your company is in it for the money- only! Wonder how many CHILDREN have seen nudity scenes at your establishment? There’s nothing wrong with saying NO! If someone was about to drive drunk, sounds like your establishment would give them the keys and tell them have a good day and drive safe! Now understand that I mean no harm or intent by that statement but what message are you sending to these kids? Their friends are working at the Theatres so it’s easy access for them. I can walk into a Theatre and see several employees standing, walking and talking to other employees- these hourly-paid individuals should be standing in front of the Rated- R doors asking for the ticket. If someone does slip in, management and a policeman should escort him or her out. This ‘show and tell’ will allow everyone to see that this type of behavior and disturbance will NOT be tolerated. The policemen are already at the establishment, use them- that’s why their there. Now, we all know that 'some' parents allow their children to see whatever- this is the only way they'll be able to catch the movie. The care of their children disturbing others is excluded. This is when an establishment says 'NO' to those parents attempting to see a Rated - R movies after hours- with kids. How can 'WE' plan a get-a-way when there's no environment to GET AWAY! Please change and FORCE the rule that NO CHILDREN are ALLOWED IN NC RATED and RATED- R MOVIES!!! What's the point of having a RATED- R code when ANYONE can bring whom he or she want regardless of age!!??! I guess I should ask- why would your establishment allow a 4yr-old, 10 yr-old and the 13-teen/ 15-teen year-olds to purchase (or allowed) a Rated- R or NC rated movie? I’ve seen the 17/18 and 19 yr-olds who’ve brought kids to watch these R rated movies- You can definitely tell that a 19 yr-old is NOT the parent of a 13 yr-old…but no one says anything. I’ve complained several times! Management provides a ‘Free’ ticket and a sorry. Are you kidding me?? This is not resolving the issue! I’d rather someone tell me that the company is in the business of MONEY by ANY MEANS NECESSARY! Primarily informing me that I should NOT close my Blockbuster account. In closing, maybe the executives should join the 'Undercover Boss' series and checkout your establishments!!! It's comical and embarrassing! Wonder if the local news would enjoy this? Don’t complain about society’s children when your participating in the demise of every child you allow in your establishing unlawfully. Again, what’s the point of having any ‘Rates’ on movies when ANYONE can buy a ticket and watch!

WORK ETHICS POOR MANAGEMENT
I HAD PREVIOUSLY WORKED FOR THIS COMPANY 3 YEARS AGO WITH NO ISSUES WHAT SO EVER. I HAD TO LEAVE BACK THEN DUE TO PERSONAL FAMILY ISSUES. I DECIDED I WANTED TO GO BACK A FEW WEEKS AGO AND WAS REHIRED. I NOTICED MAJOR CHANGES IMMEDIATELY DURING THE HIRING PROCESS. FIRST OF ALL THEY DID NOT DRUG TEST ME. I DONT USE DRUGS ANYWAYS BUT THOUGHT IT WAS MANDATORY FOR EMPLOYMENT. SECONDLY THE INTERVIEW OR LACK THERE OF WAS ONLY 3 MIN LONG AND POINTLESS. THEY RAN NO BACKGROUND CHECK OR CHECKED EMPLOYMENT HISTORY OR REFERENCES. ONCE HIRED I WAS TOLD TO COME IN FOR ORIENTATION. USUALLY AT ORIENTATION YOURE GIVEN HANDBOOKS THAT YOU KEEP ALONG WITH YOUR UNIFORM AND SCHEDULE. I WAS IN A GROUP OF 6 AND OUT OF THOSE 6 I WAS SHOCKED THAT I WAS THE ONLY ONE ABLE TO READ EFFICIENTLY ALOUD IN THE GROUP. I LEARNED ONE GUY HAD 4 FELONIES FOR ARMED ROBBERY, ANOTHER GIRL SMOKES POT ON THE REGULAR AND ONE GUY HAS A 9TH GRADE EDUCATION AND NO GED. THE GENERAL MANAGER THE BIG BOSS COULDNT READ HIMSELF AND BARELY SPOKE ENGLISH! THE MANAGERS PLAYED REAL NICE DURING ORIENTATION BUT ONCE HIRED AND ACTUALLY ON THE JOB I STILL HAD NO UNIFORM AND WAS TOLD THE PANTS I ORDERED THEY WERE OUT OF AND DIDNT KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD RECIEVE THEM. I ORDERED A SIZE BIGGER THAN MY REG PANTS SIZE BECAUSE THE PANTS RUN SUPER SMALL ALL THEY COULD OFFER ME WAS SOMETHING 8 SIZES TOO BIG AND NO THATS NOT AN EXAGERATION! TELLING ME I HAVE TO WEAR THEM WHETHER I ROLL EM TUCK EM WHATEVER AND I LOOKED AT THEM LIKE THEY WERE CRAZY, NOT EVEN A BELT COULD HOLD THOSE PANTS UP! SO THE GM AMIR TOLD ME TAKE THE DAY OFF AND DONT COME TO WORK TILL I BUY A PAIR OF UNIFORM PANTS.. IM SORRY BUT UNIFORM PANTS ARE FREE WITH THE JOB! I ENDED UP SPENDING ALMOST 30 BUCKS TO FIND THE RIGHT PAIR OF ACCEPTABLE PANTS JUST TO GO TO WORK. ONCE ON THE JOB I WAS THROWN IN CONCESSION THE FIRST DAY WITH NO ON JOB TRAINING. COWORKERS DIDNT WANNA HELP ME LEARN THE ROPES AS THE SYSTEMS HAVE CHANGED SINCE I WORKED THERE LAST. ASKING FOR MANAGORIAL HELP WAS A PROBLEM! SO EVERYTHING THEY SAID IN ORIENTATION WAS BULLSH*T RIGHT AWAY I NOTICED THE MANAGERS ALLOWING OLDER EMPLOYEES TO SIT AROUND AND DO NOTHING WHILE I SLAVED AND WAS USED AND EVEN CALLED A BITCH IN FRONT OF A MANAGER AND THE BOY WAS NOT WRITTEN UP. I WASNT ALLOWED TO USE THE BATHROOM OR TAKE MY BREAK AT REASONABLE TIMES, I FELT AS THOUGH SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE. I GOT SCREAMED AT FOR DRINKING A CUP OF WATER! BUT OTHER AFRICAN AMERICAN EMPLOYEES WERE ALLOWED TO SNACK AND TAKE RANDOM CIGARETTE BREAKS AND DRINK ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THEY WANTED AND IT WAS OVERLOOKED BY MY AFRICAN AMERICAN MANAGERS!. AFTER 3 DAYS OF HELL AND BEING MISTREATED I DECIDED TO PUT MY FOOT DOWN AND TELL THE GM ABOUT HIMSELF IN AN APPROPERIATE WAY. LETTING HIM KNOW THERE ARE LABOR LAWS ETC! I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO USE THE RESTROOM AS NEEDED, THE RIGHT TO 2 15 MIN BREAKS DURING MY WORK HOURS TO EAT OR DO WHATEVER I NEED TO DO. AND I CAN NOT BE FORCED TO WORK 12 HOUR SHIFTS AND GO HOME 1 AM AND BE BACK AT WORK AT 8 AM FOR ANOTHER 8 HRS WHEN IM SCHEDULED FOR LESS HOURS. I CAN NOT BE FORCED TO PICK UP SOMEONES SHIFT BECAUSE IM NEW AND NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO TAKE HIS SHIFT! I CAN NOT BE WRITTEN UP FOR NOT WANTING OTHER PEOPLE USING MY REGISTER WHILE IM LOGGED IN! AT THE END OF THE DAY WHOS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MONEY IN THAT REGISTER ... OHH THAT WOULD BE ME! I FELT LIKE THE PLACE WAS CLICKED OFF AND THERE WAS DEFINATELY FAVORITISM GOING ON. HOW CAN A MANAGER ALLOW ANOTHER RED SHIRT WHOS ON THE SAME LEVEL AS ME DICTATE TO ME WHAT I NEED TO OR NEED NOT TO DO WHEN HES ONLY BEEN THERE 2 MONTHS????? HOW CAN A COWORKER DECIDE FOR ME THAT WERE SWITCHING LOCATIONS OR SHIFTS???? WHY WHEN I APPROACHED THE MANAGER TO TALK ABOUT AN ISSUE I WAS DISMISSED???? HOW CAN YOU TELL SOMEONE TO BE AT WORK A CERTAIN TIME AND THE MANAGER IS AN HOUR LATE TO LET YOU IN THE BUILDING SO U LOSE AN HOURS PAY, THEN THROW 50 KEYS AT YOU AND TELL U TO OPEN WHEN THE KEYS ARENT LABLED AND YOU WERENT TRAINED HOW TO OPEN OR OPERATE THE FOOD MACHINES???? WHY DO THEY SCHEDULE YOU FOR HOURS THAT ARE NOT IN YOUR AVAILABILITY SHEET AND THEN TELL YOU YOUR MANDATED TO WORK THAT SHIFT OR YOUR GETTING WRITTEN UP. THIS PLACE IS A DISGRACE! THERES RACIAL DISCRIMINATION ALL OVER, LACK OF GOOD JUDGEMENT AND RULES. THE MANAGEMENT IS A JOKE! THE EMPLOYEES ARE A DISGRACE! AND FROM WHAT IVE BEEN TOLD A FEW PEOPLE GOT WRITTEN UP FOR MONEY MISSING FROM THEIR REGISTERS AND IN REALITY THE MANAGERS WERE POCKETING IT. ARENT THEY SUPPOSED TO COUNT YOUR DRAWER BEFORE YOU LEAVE????? I DECIDED I WASNT GOING BACK TODAY UNTIL I SPOKE TO CORPORATE AND THE FUNNY PART IS I CANT FIND A NUMBER FOR THEM ANYWHERE. ALL I WANT IS TO BE TRANSFERED AND THESE PPL INVESTIGATED. ITS NOT FAIR ITS UNJUST AND ITS ILLEGAL. IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFO PLEASE PASS IT ALONG
