Put. The. Knife. DOWN!

[Try to Fly]

Looking at these pages reminded me of an experience in my last my job. I used to work at a discount movie theater. We used to get all sorts of crazies. Most of my customers were strung out on some sort of drug. Well, this one was more....memorable.

SC:*approaches me swinging a butchers knife wildly in my face* MY NEIGHBOR IS TRYING TO KILL ME! SHE IS TRYING TO KILL ME!
ME: *stunned in silent horror*
COP:*tackles SC and arrests her*

The knife was INCHES away from my face. I was so glad that the theater made sure a cop was working every night there, and he was right next to me.

Newbies always wondered why a cop had to escort every one of us to our cars every single night. This is just one of the reasons why.

There is a discount theatre nearby that I take my kids to once in a while... but damn!

And I am pretty sure there aren't cops working there Geez, good thing yours does!

I've had a lot of shit happen to me when working at a movie theatre, but that takes the cake. Thank God the cop was there.

The closet we ever had at my store was when a guy robbed the bank in the store i the middle of a Sat. afternoon. He claimed he had a gun, but it was a cheap plastic toy gun. He was arrested at the park across the street.

Wow, I will never complain about my time work at a movie theatre again.

Damn! I would have fainted!
