Cinema headaches 

&bull posted by Matt Wharton @ 9:49 PM  

We're are very bloody busy at the cinema this week with The Kite Runner, Lust, Caution and I'm Not There and my stress levels aren't helped by the number of stupid customers we've had today.

Prize fucking twat of the day goes to the bloke who arrived for a 2.45 pm show of The Kite Runner that didn't flaming well exist! Reason being that being a Friday our programme changed and so the times for today are not the same as they were yesterday.

I explained this to him but he was still very irate and insisted that he looked at the website and he had a piece of paper with the times printed on it for The Kite Runner and also for that matter there was no mention of I'm Not There. I explain again "Okay sir you say that you looked at the website yesterday, are you sure you were you looking at the times for today's shows?"

Cinema weeks start on Fridays and so on so times for Friday and the weekend will not necessarily be the same as the times we display earlier this week. He's irate and won't answer the questions I've asked him trying to ascertain where the mix up might lie and keeps going on about this damn piece of paper that will prove him correct.

So he goes away and comes back for the 6pm show bringing with him the piece of paper that he mentioned earlier. Now I'm expecting that he's either printed off the page from the website or he's got one of our printed programmes or he's got a page from the local newspaper and I'll be able to point out the error that he's made. I'm assuming he's got last week's times.

But no he comes back with a plain piece of printer paper with literally just the film titles and the times. The times on his piece of paper being of course last week's. He brandishes this at me like this is his proof, but there's no fucking identifying bits on it at all. No dates! No logo or other text that might indicate where he'd printed it off from assuming he did print it off from a website. He could have just typed it himself for all I know.
