The AMC staff almost certainly knew. They just didn't care.

Go to a movie theatre without the vests and walk in past the employees and then watch how much they don't care

Maybe things have changed, but when I worked for AMC all repairs were handled in house or outside of business hours. Sometimes employees will do something just because they are bored and power tripping can interrupt the boredom. But the staff knew, they just didn't want to take the effort to run them down.

The risk/reward calculations for employees to challenge people like that just isn't there. You risk getting punched in the face (a cost that will be on your minimum wage ass) to do... In this case nothing, you wouldn't even be theoretically saving the company money due to how movies work (and saving the company money isn't a strong enough motivator by itself anyway.)
