I Am Manager!

Wow is the only word that can describe this night. We were so busy that it was impossible to keep up. People were coming in to see Alvin and the Chipmunks and I Am Legend. There were sold out shows and popcorn everywhere. We were understaffed for all the business, yet, we made it through.

Of course, we had our problems too. I worked upstairs running the projectors. I watched through the portal most of the time. Things looked good until I went downstairs to help close. One of the managers was watching a movie and she told some girls to sit down and not talk so loudly. They got crappy with her and she told them that she was a manager and they needed to quite down. Of course they weren't even watching that movie, they bought tickets to something else, they were just talking to some guy in there. They left and then came back with about 5 males. They tried to sit by the manager and talk of beating her up was heard. The floor manager for the night was notified and kicked the girls out. The police officer insured that they left the building.

Then there were these 2 boys left in the lobby. They came with their cousin. They didn't have a clue on what movie their cousin was in. They were in the lobby for about an hour when the police asked them why they were just hanging out. They said they couldn't find their cousin and did know what to do. Then about half an hour later, some woman calls and asked if we found 2 missing boys. I told her yes, they were in the lobby with the police and was she going to pick them up. Her reply was classic. She said, "I can get them after midnight if no one shows up." That would be in about 35 to 40 minutes more. Finally, the cousin came out of the theater looking for the boys, now its been 1hour 50 minutes. Then he had the nerve to ask the boys to stay where they were so he could finish watching his movie. The police officer told him that we weren't babysitters and he would have to take his cousins home. He left with the boys and missed the end of his movie. What a shame? NOT!
