Last time I went to the movies, they had ushers.
Yeah...it’s been that long.
They had flashlights to guide you to your seat in the dark.
Movie theaters were very dark back then.
But most important, they policed the theater for any behavior
from anyone that interrupted the enjoyment of the movie.
I remember the ushers well - you could go and get one if someone was talking and they'd address the issue so that you didn't have to confront the person yourself.
I wonder (Lizzie?) if that went away as a cost save or a liability issue for the movie theater? My guess, cost save.
