In the concession stand they are required to ask if you want your receipt or not, say YES, especially if you're paying in cash because there was a few employees there who would keep the receipts then just void the transaction and pocket it.

So what? You got your popcorn, the money is the theater's problem.
I don't believe this anyway - movie theaters make all their money on concessions. I've never heard of a place that wasn't counting everything hourly to make sure stuff wasn't walking out of there. You can't count the kernels, but you can sure as hell count the bags and cups.

I worked at a grocery store as a kid. We had to get a manager to do voids for the very reason mentioned here.

Yeah, pretty much every place is like that. I didn't believe it when I read it.

Haha you don't believe this, as if I just wasted my time making it up.. your not going to like this but if I MUST explain this to you.. They would actually have the ushers bring them the empty popcorn buckets/soda cups that people leave in the theater to the back door of the concession stand. In the back room they would wash them out then store them in this spot in the corner of the ceiling where the tile lifted up. Then all they would have to do is just take back the receipts they voided and pull down whatever they sold and add it to the inventory. Also they split some of the money with the ushers. Like I said before it didn't take a genious to keep track of the money since there was no tax and pretty much all the prices are set at high dollar amounts. Oh and they didn't count it hourly, they only counted the buckets and cups at the end of the night when closing up.
So it is your problem, because you just paid some kid $20 to eat popcorn and drink soda that came from the trash.
MODED!
