So really, imagine the stupidest human beings, then put them all in a movie theater and approaching for me.

To start off with most people don't even listen to what you say, they just give you an autopilot response of "Yea."

For instance you'll repeat back what they asked for "3 adults for Blah Blah, thats 27 dollars" They say yes. Then once everything is done printing and they pay they'll say "Oh dude omg I wanted one student". Oh, really did you **edited**head? Why didn't you say that when I repeated to you back to what you requested?

And Indian people, don't get me started on them, somehow a part of speech totally flew by these people. Instead of asking for say "Two tickets for Mujhesa Shaadi Krozgi" (We're carrying usually baliwood ever 2 weeks now, brings in money) They'll just say MUJHESA, fine, abbreviate the title, but at least give me some hint as to what you want as in 3 adults two children etc. Also they bring the whole family* (Denote, lots of money there) which I understand, because as far as I know the culture is very family orientated. But they all like to come to the latest show possible.

Another thing that bugs the crap is when people argue with me over price, jesus freaking christ I spend 35 hours a week there, I'm pretty sure I'm aware at how much we charge for various things. And telling me its one price won't get you anywhere, because when I hit that button it will still be the price I'm telling you.

Also we don't do military discount. Don't argue with me about the fact that I can't do anything about it for you. I respect anyones decision to serve in the armed forces but, don't act like it puts you above the standard person. Don't give me a snoody comment about fighting for my freedom and how I'm being a **edited**, because last time I checked theres no war being waged inside of the movie theater.

Anywho.

I like it how customers tell me to put an item of food on their sandwich, then several steps down the list the decide the no longer what that item and expect me to make a new sandwhich for them.

Another favorite of mine is a customer will ask for several different extra cost items and argue with me that they are not on the sandwhich when I ring it up. Then I unroll the sandwhiches and show they are indeed there, all while they are complaining they didn't order it.

Water cup people are ammusing as well.

Customer - Lemme get a watta cup.
Me - The water spout is next to the lemonade

Customer goes to drink dispenser. Looks over shoulder at me to see if I am watching. Waits...

Me - Helps a customer, Hears C02 tank go off indicating soda is despense...

Me- Sir please dump out the contents of your water cup. You did not buy the soda.

Customer- I aint gots no Soda...

Me- Calls area security,

Area Security - Detains non payong customer until cop issues a theft ticket.

Moral of the story, dont steal soda while I am working.

yea people can be dumb before school started i worked for a bedding delivery service, people wanted me to take there matres and boxes, when it wasnt in my paper work (meaning there was a defect with the one they had and we where delivering a new one) if people wanted us to take there old matreses and it wasnt on our paper work we would charge them 45-60 dollars (depending on the cars they drove and house they owned) and clamed it was for a dumping fee. then they would be mad that we would charge them to take there matres (most of which has stains ) well the money often went towards our lunch and gas money.

then the people who say there house is in one place and its not. ex. 5408 w. bulllock rd. Phoenix,Az (made up adress i belive). we would look them up on our Map book and when we would go to where our map and there adress told us they would be. there was no such house, we would then call the people and explane to them where we were and how to get to there house. well take a right going west on Bullock (ok thats easy), go to the stop sign (ok). turn left (what the heck where not on Bullock anymore) {going south on 5400}  go till you hit the dead end sign (ok so like 1/4 mile south of where you said your house was!!!!) now take a left (ok going east on Eastwood, OMG) forth house on the right (o great 2 story house) so the guy i work with goes in to find out where the beds going, (ok theres a turn in the stairs now the home owner must sign a release forum) so we take the beds up stairs and let the homeowner look them over before he signs the paper work (mattresses are covered in plastic) the home owner sees a string hanging out (its like thet from the factory as long as it isnt longer then 4 inchs then it needs to be fixed) so he doesnt sign the release forum. now we have to take the bed down the stairs and put it back in the truck. home owners pissed because now they arnt getting a bed, so they decide they want to sign the release forum this time we have them sign it before we take it up stairs, great now we have to take it back up stairs. all this for $15

I was thinking of starting a blog of my Subway adventures but I a too tired to write after I get off work sometimes... I would really like to do it because my work place is extremely entertaining.

From the violent begging bums that panhandle outside the shop to the once a week food inspection complaints, it gets to be a hadful sometimes.
