I completely understand about kids sneaking in to see inappropriate movies and the safeguards the theater must take to prevent this. But what I find ridiculous is when an adult tries to take her brothers and sister to the movies and the ticket lady will not sell her tickets because she isn't the mother. She was over 18 and acting as their guardian in my absence. She was going to watch the movie with them, not drop them off. She lives out of town and wanted to treat her younger siblings to a movie and popcorn and was denied based on a rule that was carried out to the nth degree.
If the rating system is "no one under 17 admitted without a parent/guardian" then that is what the theater should do.
And the rudeness, of course, is unnecessary and only adds insult to injury.
Maybe we will stop going to the movie theater and wait for the video to come out. What a shame that even the movie theater industry has to practice "CYA" and lose business doing it.
Teyates-
My previous post did sound miffed at you. Sorry about that; I did not intend it to sound so harsh!
