Works, Indeed

This weekend we got Whatever Works at our theater and because the clientele is super old and Jewish, there was quite the turnout. Ughh, the little annoying things that people do just compounded over and over again. Some things I hate hate hate from customers:

1) Standing in a three-deep line for twenty minutes and then just when I ask them what they want, realizing that they haven't even looked at the menu yet. Commence slack-jawed gaping.
2) Beginning their order when I am still on the previous person.
3) Changing their order when I'm halfway through with filling it (especially egregious when they've already paid).
4) Asking for a handful of popcorn to ascertain that it's at the correct salty level.
5) Giving me a quarter in addition to bills when the total is $XX.75. What makes people do this? I now have to return their original quarter plus another, and it makes me pause for several seconds while I try to make sense of it.
6) When they order a billion items and use both arms to carry everything. Then, since their hands aren't free, they use their tongue to scoop up popcorn into their mouths. Yes, this happens all the time. Yes, it's disgusting.
7) Leaving me a huge mess on the counter top.

All of these things happened today, of course.

But now I just need to get OVER IT because I don't have to work until Wednesday. Well, movie work. Various tasks need to be completed every darn day.

Congratulations to Daniel, who is now finishing up his last week of the year without having killed a single child. Yaaaay! Don't even think about going back!
