The Owner Got Owned

(Our theater is privately owned by a man who is somewhere in his early to mid 70s. He is about to leave for the day.)

Owner: “See you next time, [My Name].”

Me: “Okay. Bye.”

(He quickly turns around and heads towards the manager and two other employees who are behind the concession stand.)

Owner: “What’s going on here? Why is everyone standing back here talking when there’s no one ushering or working in the box office?”

Manager: “But [Another Employee] is in the box.”

Owner: “Well, then who’s our usher?”

Manager: “[My Name] is.”

Owner: “Where is he?”

Manager: “He’s standing right behind you.”

(The owner turned around and saw me as I waved at him. We all worry about him sometimes.)
