This is my first blog ever. I decided to start doing this yesterday after I got off work at my shitty employment place. I work at a movie theater. Honestly, the worst part of my day isn't the fact that I have to drag my ass out of bed at an early 11AM to make it to work on time, nor is it the dumbass retards that I work with. Its the motherfucking customers.
I hate the people that decide they wanna buy their underage children tickets to a rated R movie and expect me to let them in whilst mommy and daddy go eat, or shopping, or fuck in the back seat of their car because little Johnny cannot be away from mommy long enough for her to rub one off.
I recently had two 16 year old girls try to get into Friends With Benefits. Their response to my refusal was as follows:
Girl 1: "Well they sold us the tickets in the box office?!"
Girl 2: "I can call my mom, she isn't going to care."
Me: "Its company policy that anyone under the age of 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian in a rated R movie. That means your mom has to sit with you through the entire movie."
I really don't remember what they said after that but I ended up sending them to the first house manager I could find, but they came back.
They had changed their tickets to Rise of the Planet of the Apes which is rated PG-13. These 'darling' young ladies decided that they needed to put me in my place or just flat out be bitches towards me. I sent them on their way, with a smile on my face. :)
I have people do this to me all the time and its my job to put up with it. I've had this job since October of 2010, I am 21 years old, I make 7.25 an hour and I have had to work for everything I have. If you're so blind as to think that the people that sell you tickets and popcorn are just happy as can be and dont wanna punch you in the face when you get pissed at something they cannot control think again.
Sincerely,
Frustrated Theater Workers Everywhere
In all honesty its a good thing you kept them from seeing the movie because young people especially teenagers feel that the world owes them an imfanant amount of favors and they should be allowed to walk all over people who work for a living. So I sir applaud you for doing your job. Just know in that moment you have made their day as crappy as yours and let that make the rest of your day.
