You Got Any Of That Iron Man 6 In The Back?

A woman comes up to me at the greeter stand and hands me a ticket. I check the ticket. It’s an advance ticket for a movie that isn’t out for another two weeks.

Me: “Um, I’m sorry, ma’am, but I think you handed me the wrong ticket.”

Customer: “Oh, I know it’s not for two weeks, but I just wanna see it now.”

Me: “Unfortunately, we don’t have the ability to play that particular movie at the moment.”

Customer: “How hard can it be to screen a movie early? Honestly?”

Me: *Chuckling* “Well, considering we don’t even have a print of it yet… very hard.”

The customer suddenly gets that wonderful “lightbulb going off” look on her face.

Customer: “You know… that makes sense. I thought you just had all the movies for the year in the back. Oh, well. Can I go and exchange this for a movie for today?”

Me: “Absolutely. They can do that for you right at the box office.”

Customer: *Beaming* “Thank you very much.”

As dumb as her rationale was, the fact she wasn’t combative or abusive kind of made her my favorite customer of the day.
