I used to physically engage when people were ruining shit for me, but I've since mellowed out after spending the night in jail for a bar fight I didn't start (or even want to continue). Too many people want to escalate things now for it to be worth the trouble - just get your refund and leave.

I wouldn't recommend it unless you're fairly large and physically intimidating - I'm a pretty big guy, so most "teens" would shut the fuck up once I asked them to, mostly without issue. Once or twice they'd try to square up, but teens are largely cowards. They're just acting tough for their friends.

However, I once had to help break up a "fight" between an old dude and some shitstain redneck kids. He told them to stop throwing popcorn at the screen, one kid shoved him, then the old dude came back swinging. It went from "confrontation" to "3 person brawl" in like 4.2 seconds.

I do find the controversial comments amusing, though. I've seen a lot of fights, been in more than a few, and everyone involved was white. This is a poverty issue, not a color issue.
