Shut up and leave.

Popcorn, tickets, messes, and ignorant people.... it's what i deal with day in and out. The movie theatre. It is not the ideal job, it is not the job i prefer but it makes me money so I cannot complain, too much that is. I see people who I went to high school with , I see new people, I see old people, I see dumb teenagers. There is such a mixture of customers that like to see movies.
The other day I saw all that was possible to see while working there. I saw an old man wearing forest green capris with a navy blue collared shirt tucked in. He was also sporting red, white and blue striped toe socks with strap sandals, carrying a murse. That was very interseting to see, but I guess if that's his style, so be it.
Then two old ladies entered laughing and having a grand time. One the women had to use a cane to walk. As she entered the building her cane caught the risen mat in the entry way. She went down with a thud. I didn't know what to do... I was trapped in a box. She had fallen and couldn't get up. She rolled over and wow... a golf ball size bleeding lump had formed above her eyebrow. What was I to do? I was trapped in a box, I couldn't help her up, I was scared. But thankfully all was okay- she just left with a chuckal and hopes of returning. Then a couple hours later a grumpy unstylish old lady had come to "purchase" Fandango tickets. Fandango as most know is a way to purchase tickets online or by phone. Her on the other hand, wouldn't listen or do anything but bitch at us about how Fandago does not allow a person to talk to a live person. She yelled at us, threw a temper tantrum, bitched about how live people should talk, etc. She just needed to vanish, like instantly!
I also see people who spend ridiculous amounts of money just for the popcorn and what not, and don't even to see the movie with it. It's just werid, well I think.
But I guess, every job sees some interesting people. So dumb people, some ignorant poeple, and some who should just become mute. Working... it's on interesting view on people watching.
