@stanleybmanly :: That is funny. It reminds me of my first shift in the box office when I worked at the theater. It was actually my first experience using a cash register. That shit is harder than it looks.
Jake, my manager was standing over me keeping a eye on things. It was well known I am not good with customers. But I was getting moved to projection and there were a ton of manuals to read. So they shoved me in the box office since I could just read during my down-time.
But there was a lady about ten people back that was just being horrible. Rude to people in line and also talking shit about how slow I was. The microphones are very sensitive.
So she gets to me. “One ticket for Austin Powers”.. That will be $2.25. “Why is it so cheap”.. Oh, I thought you were a senior.
She was in her early 30s and lost her shit.
Jake started laughing and went into the mangers office behind the box office. This made her more mad. He could hear her yelling about my “dorkey glasses,bad skin, big ears, and so on”. And she lobbed in some shit about my hourly wage.
I thought it was funny. Jake decided it was enough and went out front and booted her.
