Ugh.

Un-fucking-real.

I've used the holidays tactic a few times.

Moneyquote: "Ma'am, you may be free to text in all the other theaters in the Magnited States of America, but here at our "little crappy ass theater," you are not. Why you may ask? Well, we actually do give a f*$k."

One tip that isn't mentioned that is disgusting effective is when talking to someone in person or over the phone, constantly call them by their name.
