The incident occurred Tuesday in Greenville during a showing of “The Color Purple.” The Rev. William Barber II said he needs the chair because he suffers from ankylosing spondylitis, a disabling bone disease.

Every movie theater I’ve ever been to has spaces that can accommodate wheelchairs and this guy’s chair. Was he busting it out in the aisle? If so, yes, that’s against fire code, and it makes sense theater staff asked him to move, because that’s what they’re trained to do. There’s not really enough information here to form an opinion unless you’re just into feeling outrage at the headline
He was in the correct section:
But thank you for valiantly rushing to the defense of AMC who had already apologized for what their staff did before your blatant attempt to blame the victim under the guise of “a lack of information.”
Thanks for the extra info, though you could’ve provided it without being a dick
You are in the wrong here. You could have not been an asshole in the first place. The reply was totally justified.
Sounds like a brother is about to get PAID
Once for the ADA suit and once for the ACLU suit
AMC will be bankrupt before the first hearing anyhow. They’re massively buried in debt, and just diluted stock, again, by quite a bit, while barely making my a dent in its debt.
$AMC has lost 80+% of its value in the last year. 98% lost since 2021.
That info about him using the chair in the disabled section was never mentioned in the original Fortune article. That’s literally a lack of information. Don’t be so hostile.
God I just love the notion that if you ask questions and don’t immediately jump to the conclusion that the company did something wrong that youre “valiantly rushing to the defense of AMC” and “blatantly attempting to blame the victim”.
Lets get the sequence of events in order here, shall we?
Bye now.
Lol the person you were responding to thanked you for correcting them, asked you nicely not to be a dick, and then you double down on being a dick.
Step 3 isn’t correct.
Nobody rushed to the defence of the AMC. The only thing they did was look at the issue from a broader point of view and mention they don’t have full info on the topic.
Seems like you are projecting, and can’t handle criticism at all.
Please, block me too.
Lets all block everyone!
Block me too. That’s no where near
Yes, let’s do that.
There is no universe in which a savvy business doubles down on blaming a disabled person. Businesses admit fault when they’ve done nothing wrong all the time. It’s nothing but optics.
That didn’t happen. They asked questions and posited a potential situation that may have taken place.
Is this how you get your rocks off? By just fabricating scenarios that didn’t happen and then hurling deeply offensive accusations at the people who didn’t make them?
Fail.
You have quite the stick up your ass lmao
You don’t need to be so smarmy about it mate.
That information literally wasn’t in the article you linked so there’s no need to bite people’s heads off for asking a follow up questions.
Thank you for providing the info in your reply.
Yeah, with things like this I can’t tell if it’s lack of training or just a dumb or shitty employee. My guess is that this is not systemic corporate malfeasance.
Undertraining is a systemic issue.
But there’s store specific managers and regional hierarchies I imagine. In my corporate job, there are teams all in the same office, but different managers give different directives or priorities to things like trainings. I’m guessing there’s a lot of variance between AMC movie theaters, their managers, and team members.
