An experience that @LowKey_disco and myself had at an @AMCTheatres, last night. I wrote @CEOAdam a message about this, and wanted to share with everyone. 1/11

I write you this to tell you about an amazing experience that a dear friend of mine and myself witnessed at an AMC theater in La Jolla, California, last night. We went to the 5pm showing of "Spiderman", 2/11

after the movie, we were sitting at one of the tables in the common area in the theater lobby. We witnessed an employee pushing an older gentleman in a wheelchair, and placed him at the table next to ours, and sat down directly next to him. 3/11

The older gentleman seemed distraught in his words, and seemed as though he was crying. We couldn't hear exactly what he was saying. 4/11

Jon (the AMC employee) was listening intently on what the gentleman was saying, and was even offering words of encouragement and sympathy to the older gentleman. 5/11

At one point Jon got up from the table and got the man some water and gave him a free movie ticket that had no expiration, and encouraged the gentleman to come back and watch whatever movie he wanted with this free ticket. 6/11

When The gentleman in the wheelchair left, We stopped Jon, asked him his name and told him that we were impressed by what he just did. 7/11

Jon told us that the older gentleman was a Marine Veteran and he was too. (I'm also a Marine Veteran, and Claudia is an Army Veteran), and that the gentleman was watching a screening of "The Matrix", when he had a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder episode, 8/11

and had to leave the theater. Jon was there to comfort him and ease his episode. Even more impressed, we told Jon that we appreciated being able to witness such an amazing act of humanity. 9/11

Jon told us that the job is to pay the bills, the reward is the people that he gets to interact with on a daily basis, and this is why he loves his job. 10/11

I love AMC, but this act solidified the fact that I will be a life long investor, as well as a life long patron of this company. I appreciate your time, sir, and I appreciate AMC's commitment to hiring people like Jon that are dedicated to people. Happy holidays! 11/11

***Update*** @AMCTheatres responded! Jon is definitely going to get well deserved recognition!
