Customer: “Yeah, because this is the second one, right? It’s a sequel?”

Me: “You’re watching The Odyssey, right?”

Customer: “Yeah.”

Me: “Then it’s not a sequel. It’s the first and only movie.”

Customer: “Yeah, but my ticket says The Odyssey 2 on it!”

Me: “The number next to the movie is your auditorium number. You need to go to auditorium two.”

Customer: “Oh… okay.”

He walks towards the correct auditorium, and I laugh to myself a little.

The guy comes back out after the movie and proceeds to buy another ticket (he’s got a movie pass he’s trying to use up), and gets a ticket to see ‘Toy Story 5’.

Me: “Now, sir, this is for Toy Story 5, in auditorium seven. It’s not Toy Story 57.”

Customer: “Hehe, thanks for clarifying.”

The customer walks off, and my supervisor laughs.
