This post was shared on August 3. Since being shared on social media, it has received close to 5,000 upvotes. Many even took to the comments section of the post to share their thoughts on it.

Here's what people are saying about the incident:

An individual wrote, "Movie customers are pretty bad and I say this as a customer myself. Some just pour the remnants of their popcorn on the floor and laugh about it."

A second commented, "I hate parents like this. We went to a restaurant the other day and I made sure I cleaned the high chair after we used it and I made sure the table was clean. I wouldn’t let my children throw their food around at all. It’s just so disrespectful, and I would never expect someone else to clean go after us."

A third added, "My kids have been those kids dropping food everywhere (not deliberately) and I have been on my hands and knees in more than one venue cleaning it up waving off the staff who kept offering to do it. My kids, my problem, the staff aren't paid enough to have to deal with that as well."

A fourth said, "Pubs, clubs, and restaurants need to start charging a clean-up fee if patrons leave a mess like this. If parents let their children make a mess and won't clean it up, they need to pay for it."
