Rambo!
This is from a little while ago. The cinema chain that I work for did not screen Rambo. We were only allowed to tell customers that we wren't showing Rambo 'for commercial reasons'.
A co-worker was on his first shift on the box office, when he got this woman:
SC: "WHAT! You aren't showing Rambo! Why not!?"
CW explains, asks if they want to see anything else.
SC: "A boxing film. Any boxing film."
wtf?
CW tells here we have no boxing films. Proceeds to give her and her husband a run down of the films we are showing. What do they chose? Juno.
Hotdogs
Sucky guy with son: "How much are hotdogs?"
me: "£x.xx"
SG: "I'll have two."
I make dogs.
SG: "I suppose you have coke-type drinks."
me: "yes we have blah, blah, diet blah."
SG: "I'll have two blah."
me: "What size would you like? If you have large, they are a combo with the hotdogs, and it'll save you money."
sg: "ok"
I pour drinks.
me: "That'll be £yy.yy"
SG: "What. But you said they were £x.xx!"
did you really think the drinks were included in the price of the hotdogs?
SG pays.
SG: "It's so expensive."
Guess waht he comes back ten minutes later and buys popcorn. And twenty minutes after that for more popcorn. Each time he comes directly to me.
Meet the Spartans
This film is utter drivel. It is ostensibly a parody of 300, but includes Ugly Betty, American Idol, George Bush, Transformers, Paris Hilton and more.
A co-woker and I were discussing just how bad it is when a showing ends and a woman comes out and asks to speak to a manager.
SC: "I've just sat through a really boring movie. Can I get my money back?"
Sup: "I'm afraid not."
SC protests about spending money on a rubbish film
Sup: "If you'd bought a DVD you couldn't do anything about it."
SC: "I'd take it back to the shop."
Sup: "I'm sorry, I can't help you."
Yeah, we can't help you. You are doomed to be a sucky customer and have bad taste in movies.
Garfield
We have bags of film food for kids. A small portion of popcorn, small packet of sweets, small drink and a free gift. The gift in the past has been a small tin with coloured pencils and a film-related picture to colour, a crappy watch with our cinema brand. It is currently a pen with a Horton Hears a Who character on it. A little while ago, we gave out 'Garfield The Movie' DVDs. A pretty cool free gift.
So if mom bought bags for little Dick and little Dora, was she satisfied that she got two copies of 'Garfield'. Of course not! "Do you have anything else?" If I heard it once, I heard it a thousand times.
