I work in a cinema – what we really think when customers smuggle in snacks & the most bizarre things we see daily
GOING TO the cinema to watch a film is a treat most of us will admit we don't do it often enough.
But when we do go, you can bet we have a stash of treats in our bag.
While you might feel like you're committing a serious crime by sneaking in snacks and drinks, a cinema worker has revealed that there's no need to hide it.
Taking to Reddit the anonymous worker shared that he worked in an independent cinema.
He revealed that there was no need to try and sneak in with snacks and you can proudly walk in with them instead.
He joked: "What do they think I'm going to do? Send them to cinema jail for bringing in some Haribo?".
He explained that watching people try to smuggle sweets in always made him chuckle and revealed the most bizarre case he's witnessed.
The worker added: "I work at an independent cinema and I'm always being asked if you're allowed to bring in your own sweets to eat and what happens if we catch people bringing in 'outside sweets'.
"I find it hilarious watching people try to sneak sweets into the cinema like they're on some sort of Breaking Bad drug smuggling scheme.
"I sit from the ticket booth watching them speak to their friends about the fact they already have sweets in their bag and flashing them the sweets.
