Unfiltered Story #234209

I’m in line with a few people ahead of me.

Customer 1: 14 tickets for [movie], next show.
Employee: (didn’t hear)
Customer 1: Okay I’ll take just 11 then. It’s all good.

I look on the top screen, showing only a handful of seats left, then all selected. Luckily, that’s not what I want.

Customer 2: Damn. I wanted a ticket too! Just one ticket…
Customer 1: Wait, I heard you. This showing?
Customer 2: Yes.
Employee: (didn’t hear well but said something about releasing…I think he means if he releases the last one, a customer at another counter can buy it.)
Customer 1: Alright, you pay for your one and I’ll pay the other 10.

After getting tickets.

Customer 2 then snatches a ticket out of customer 1’s hand.

Customer 2: (nasty tone) Thank you! Hmph.

Customer 2 then rushes off.

Customer 1: Hey, what…..
Employee: (open mouthed)
