I told the supervisor that someone was smoking marijuana in the theater of the children’s film
On Christmas evening, our partner Bob and I decided to take the boys to a film matinee. The boys were excited to watch a sequel to one of their number one cartoon films. My partner and I knew the boys would be delighted to go to the cinema on Christmas. All of us let the boys option out any popcorn they wanted from the concession stand. Bob got a sizable Dunkin Donuts Coffee with some goobers and snacks. My youngest son got three weird brands of candy and a Slurpee. All of us found a seat in the back of the theater. It was far from full. There were a couple of people in the front and a couple of families scattered throughout the auditorium. When the lights went down and the preview started to roll, I smelled the pungent odor of marijuana in the theater. At first I thought I was going crazy, however Bob grabbed our arm and complained about the smell of marijuana as well. I tried to detect where the smell was coming from. I saw a yellow light on the left side of the theater. Every time I saw the small yellow light, I smelled marijuana. Someone in the theater was truly vaping in a kids movie. I got up from our seat and left the theater to find a manager. I told the supervisor that someone was smoking marijuana in the theater of the children’s film. The manager agreed it was a concern and followed me back to the theater. As soon as the manager entered the room, he saw the yellow light and smelled the marijuana. The kid got kicked out of the movie theater and banned for numerous weeks.
