My best friend Savanna recently posted a bunch of conversations and such she has had with her customers at Wal*Mart on her blog, this inspired me to write a list of questions I hear at my job on a regular basis.
Question: "Do you reuse the popcorn buckets?"
What I want to say: "Yes, we sanitize them and then bring them back to the kitchen."
What I actually say: "No, we just stack them so there is more room in the trash."
Question: "I can throw this in there?"
What I want to say: "No, you cannot throw your trash in the trash can; who does that?"
What I actually say: "Yep!"
Question: "Do we get to keep the glasses?"
What I want to say: "Yeah, if you give me 80 bucks for them!"
What I actually say: "No, sorry, we collect them at the end of the movie."
Question: "These are sanitized, right?"
What I want to say: "Naw, we just hand you your 3D glasses right after we snag them off some sweaty guy's head."
What I actually say: "Yup, all of them are washed and sanitized."
Question: "If I walk out, can I get back in?"
What I want to say: "No, we are extreme jerks, you are only allowed to pass the podium one time."
What I actually say: "You bet!"
Question: (Talking about the Pre-show) I can hear sound but I can't see anything(or visa-versa), can someone fix it?
What I want to say: "Why do you even want to watch the Pre-show? It sucks!"
What I actually say: "It's just the Pre-show, when your actual movie turns on, it is on a different system and it should be fine."
Question: "Where is theater _____?"
What I want to say: "Can you not read? There are 15 million signs, and the podium person told you are pointed where you should go. You really don't know?"
What I actually say "Oh, it's right over here." *points in that general direction*
There are more, but you get the point. The sad thing is that Daniel often uses the response I want to say, and he rarely gets in trouble, because people find him funny. Sigh, I would never get away with it.
