Difficult To Read With Buckeye

(I am working the box office at a small indie movie theater. Two girls with giant coffee drinks walk past three signs saying that we don’t allow outside food or drink and come up to the counter.)

Me: “How can I help you?”

Girl: “Can we get two student tickets to [Movie]?”

Me: “Sure! But just so you know, we don’t allow outside food or drinks in the theater, so you’ll have to finish those down here before you go up to the theater.”

Girl: “Ugh! But we just bought these!”

Me: “I’m so sorry, but we do have signs up saying we don’t allow outside food or drinks.”

(I point to the signs.)

Girl: “But… We’re from Ohio!”

Me: “Do they not read in Ohio?”

(The girls laughed nervously and left.)
