TTO and I went to the movies tonight! (The Hobbit). We're ordering popcorn and drinks, and I'm paying via card. Unfortunately, the card reader at our till is not working, so the lady directs us to pay at another till.
TTO is guarding the goodies, while I go to pay. The till is just finishing up with another customer - buying a popcorn coke combo, when the customer asks for a straw. The till-lady directs her to the condiment station (with the flavoured salts and straws) less than 3 metres behind her.
"This is ridiculous!" she exclaimed with much irritation, "Why can't you just GIVE them to me? How am I going to get them?"
(Bear in mind, this particular cinema brand has been operating like this for at least the past 5 years if not more. She had one popcorn and one coke, and the stations have ledges that you can rest your goodies on).
Hearing this, I mildly piped up with "It's not such a big deal," whereupon the harpy turned on me, screeched "Why don't you go fuck yourself!" and stormed off. I muttered "Wow, classy" and the till-ladies and I had a good giggle about how some people aren't happy unless they have something to complain about.
Seriously. THREE WHOLE METRES.
If that's the biggest problem in her life, I envy her
