Better Late Than Clever, Part 2
Movies & TV | Melbourne, Australia | Right | August 30, 2012
(A kid of 11 or 12 approaches the ticket sales counter.)
Me: “Hi, what can I get for you?”
Kid: “Can I have a ticket for [movie]?”
Me: “Which session time were you after?”
Kid: “The one on now.”
Me: “Okay, are you sure? This session has already started, and I think about 10 minutes into the actual film.”
Kid: “No, that’s okay.”
Me: “Alright, that’ll be [price].”
Kid: “Can I get a discount?”
Me: “What for?”
Kid: “I missed some of my movie.”
Me: “Um, you’re asking me for a discount because YOU turned up late to the movie?”
Kid: “…Yeah.”
Me: *shakes head*
Kid: “Oh well, it was worth a try!”
