Film reps - SKY, Virgin, Times etc and security

[canadian_turtle]

However she was also the sky rep from the week before, just wearing a different t shirt.

I wonder if they're just people from the cinema wearing the shirt or genuine trained reps from some kind of reps agency?

They will be from a PR agency. There is a girl who is a SKY rep but she also does Virgin showings. I was chatting to her one time when waiting for friends. The first Virgin rep I encountered was so lovely and friendly. Not seen her in a while.

Then there was another virgin rep who was on her mobile all through Tower Heist whilst security did nothing.

You win some, you lose some.

@yinster that's awful sounds like there was only one "weirdo" there and it wasn't you

i agree! why are you the weirdo in this scenario? jeez. some people!

[anakin]

that's horribly rude, and you should complain, Yinster.

So should Valda, for that matter. People are sooooo rude! Grrrr!

...and it wasn't me either as I was also at the Odeon Quay!
Yinster was rightly annoyed that she was not greeted in any kind of manner and then to be spoken of in that manner . . . . words fail me! I will testify that Yinster is a lovely person who is always cheerful and friendly . . . maybe that makes you a "weirdo" in their eyes! Sad people who should not be doing the job they are doing!

Most of the reps I have encountered are indifferent.

The sky rep at Enfield for the Captain America screening was way too friend. She spent so long greeting everyone and handing out 3D glasses which caused a long queue in the cinema foyer.

Thanks everyone. Thing is I wasn't wearing shorts last night either as it was bitterly cold so had trousers on. I already emailed a complaint to SFF as Virgin uses them for their previews.

are you saying people usually call you a weirdo - when you wear shorts? that's crazy! unless it's winter and you wear shorts ;

glad you made a complaint!

I have also complained on Yinster's behalf saying that it must have spoiled the young woman and her friend evening!
