Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : This is a hypothetical question based on an experience I recently had. If that is not allowed mods feel free to delete my post. 

I love watching movies, however I’m a very cheap and frugal person so I rarely go because I think they are too expensive. My fiancé loves to go to the movies and get a big popcorn and icee. Every once in a while she’ll talk me into going to see a movie and of course we end up getting a big thing of popcorn and an icee. 

We always clean up after ourselves. I take my trash and throw it away because I have had plenty of shitty jobs. So I know it’s no fun to clean especially for minimum wage high school students who are working on a Friday or Saturday night. However this one time I almost intentionally left all my trash (I did not because my fiancé wouldn’t let me)

We were seeing a marvel movie so of course we had to wait and watch all of the after credits scenes. As the credits were getting closer to being over the cleaning crew came in to wait for everyone to shuffle out of the theater. One of the employees started to yell “movies over everyone leave so we can start cleaning your trash.” This was while the credits were still rolling. People started to get up and leave and she said “make sure you get all your trash we don’t want to have to clean up after you either.” As she said that I was like hell no. I had my large (empty) popcorn and cup. I started to turn around to put the trash down when my fiancé grabbed me and said “no no no let’s just go.” I feel like I had every right to be passive aggressive and leave my trash there. 

So am I the asshole here? I feel like she’s not wrong but she’s way out of line to be yelling at customers and if a manager had seen that they would have been pissed.
