I'm applying at several locations after being discharged from my previous job at a movie theatre exactly 2 months ago for dropping shifts and not arriving on time.
I feel obligated to put down the old job as it is 6 months of work and may be good, considering I am applying to 3 more theaters (2 of which are the same company). I've considered going and arranging a meeting with my old manager and asking for a letter of reference and/or assuring whether or not I can use this job as a reference.
Apart from being late in the last month I actually had a good record and managers often told me that other employees and customers gave commendations of my work.
Should I put them on my Applications?

I couldn't imagine using a termination as a reference being a good idea. Unless you have worked there for many years and can claim that the termination was a temporary laps in judgment and point to the many years of good service to prove the claim, you may want to let it go.
