We’ll Be Fine Without The Fine, Thanks
I work at a movie theatre that serves alcohol.
Customer: “A beer for my wife and me.”
Me: “Sir, in compliance with our minor control plan, I can only serve one drink per person.”
Customer: “But my wife is already settled in her seat!”
Me: “We have in-seat ordering—”
Customer: “—No, I’m here now, and I am getting a drink for my wife and me!”
Me: “Sir, the plan is in place to ensure our safety, to protect from lawsuits and potential minors getting alcohol.”
Customer: “And what if I never come back to this theater again?!”
Me: “That’s your choice, sir. Better to play it safe.”
Customer: “So you’d rather be safe than have a sale?”
Me: “Sir, you’re asking if I’m willing to risk a multi-thousand-dollar fine and a lawsuit, rather than serve you two $8 beers at once. What do you think?”
