Any plans to work again with Jon Favreau? Big fan of Swingers and Made. Be great to see you two again

Worked in a theater during high school too. I had just started my shift behind the concession stand around 3pm. Lobby was pretty empty. A guy in his 50s walks up to the counter with his 6 year old daughter in hand. He looks like a typical barfly, unshaven, disheveled and beer gut. His daughter kept saying 'Daddy, I want popcorn. Daddy, let's get candy." Sweet girl. He looks hung-over. Another guy in his 50s gets in line behind them. After getting the Dad his popcorn and candy, the Dad yells at me "Christ! $20 for this. Are you kidding me?!" The guy behind him points at the sign with the prices: "It said it right there. Are you fucking blind?". Dad retorts, "Don't curse in front of my kid, asshole!" (I specifically recall the 'asshole' part). Punches start flying. The little girl is crying 'Daddy!". The other staff are frozen while they stare at two grown men wrestle to the floor. I take a moment to consider other employment options. THEN, the Dad quickly pulls back his arm to throw a punch -- his elbow hits his daughter right on the side of the head. She goes down. Both men don't notice and throw a couple more punches. The daughter starts to get up and cries, "please don't hurt my daddy." The other guy stops. Dad quickly grabs his daughter and leaves into the theater with their popcorn. The other guy catches his breath and jokingly says, "ok then. I'll have a medium popcorn with extra butter". Without hesitation, I offer "would you like to upgrade to a large for 50 cents more?" …And this is the day I was almost killed

TL;DR: saw a Dad get into fight and hit his 6 year old daughter

People don't like offers to pay for an upgrade when the popcorn already costs too much

So true. Every customer asks 'why is it so expensive?'

Have you noticed any trends in attendance during your time? Are less and less people going to the theater?
