Me and some friends went to the Boston Museum of Science yesterday for their welcome back event. Basically around four they closed off the entire museum to the general public, and from 4 to close college students could come in, show ID, and get free admission to the exhibit halls and two free tickets to any of the ticketed shows. It was a nice idea. All you had to do was wear this sticker on your shirt at all times.
So it's just before 9, and I'm in the gift shop looking at jewelry and Space Ice Cream, and I see a girl approach a cashier with her items. I missed the actual total, but I know it was over $80. Not to this girl.
DG: Dumb Girl
PC: Patient Cashier
DG: It's College Free Day. *stands there expectantly*
PC: I know.
DG: *still waiting*
PC: So....it's $xx.xx
DG: No it ain't.
PC: Ee-yes, it is.
DG: Uh, no it ain't.
PC: *prepares herself for one hell of an argument*
DG: It's College Free Day. Everything's free.
PC: No....you got in for free. You saw IMAX for free. You saw the laser show for free. This stuff doesn't count.
DG: Well, it should. That's bait-and-tackle, there (No Kidding. That's what she said)
PC: It's what?
DG: False advertising. Everything's free and you aren't doing it right. You're a horrible employee.
PC: No...I'd be a horrible employee if I let you strut out of here with all that stuff without paying for it.
By this point a guy I assumed was her boyfriend strolled up to the counter. I saw the cashier grip the counter- I guess she sensed a war.
BF: Baby-cakes, we got in for free. I see nuttin' in here that says that necklace is free, too.
DG: False advertising.
BF: It wasn't advertised anywhere...now, pay the cashier and let's go.
She never paid, she just left all her stuff there and walked out. BF apologized and helped put everything away. He muttered something like "Must've drawn the short straw when I got her," before leaving.
