I was serving on the kiosk tonighht. A guy and his girlfriend came and brought food, and while I was getting the food, the woman was asking me whether The Strangers was scary. She semed a little bit out of it, as though she had had one drink too many.
I told her that it was a bit scary, that it would make her jump. She said she was glad it wasn't really scary and it wouldn't keep her awake at night.
The guy finished up their transaction, and she said to him, "I love him, he's always so nice." Now I hadn't seen this woman before. If she had previously been to the cinema while I had been working, I have no recollection of her. But she carries on, "I just want to give him a kiss."
Her boyfriend has her by the arm pulling her away, but she insists she is going to give me "just a little kiss on the cheek." She is leaning across the counter, but she can't reach my cheek.
I tell her, "I can't - your boyfriend won't like it." My manager and supervisor happen by, and I mouth "Help me" at them, but they and the other staff are just laughing. I just want the ground to open up and swallow me.
To get rid of her, I lean over and she kisses my bearded cheek.
Her boyfriend finally drags her away. I take a deep breath and serve the next customer, trying to look nonchalant, as if drunk women kiss me all the time.
