And I'll spell theatre my way :P
My friend S and I went to see Despicable Me last night. (Very cute movie for being geared for children, but it was very cute
)
We went at 8:30 so there were minimal children (A few, but they were very well behaved). I wish I could say the adults were.
Since we were early, about 20 minutes early, we sat in the lobby for a bit and people watched. The same very nice clerk that had given us tickets, was switched to Concessions because a guy had gotten sick and had to go home. While her desk was EMPTY when she left it, a guy stormed up to the counter and demanded she give him his ticket to see Inception.
Molly (Cause I can't remember if I saw her tag or not), looked at him with a sugary sweet smile and told him she couldn't, she was on concessions now and logged out of that computer, he'd have to go to the other line to get his ticket.
He told her (and the entire lobby) He'd been waiting for his ticket when she left her desk. S beat me to saying anything (Which is pretty well a first.. I'm outspoken, she's usually quiet. Though I am in AWE she said this much to a stranger)
S walked to the lady and asked for a refill, which Molly did and the guy glared at Si. She turned, and asked what his issue was.
"I'm TRYING to get a ticket.."
S took back her soda paid (And tipped though they aren't supposed to keep it, S wouldn't take the money back) and told him, "Well, the ticket desk is over THERE.." *Points* "and the lady you're harrassing can't help you. Besides, you weren't in line. You were gabbing on your cellphone next to the manager.."
She pointed out the man with the tag who'd been watching the scene.
"Who heard you say, "I'm gonna get myself a free ticket." He's been watching you with a smirk for as long as we did. I think you failed at getting your free ticket. So go spend the 7 bucks, get your ticket, your popcorn and soda if anyone else here will serve you, and shut the fuck up."

The 'correct' way has always looked off to me. 
And yes, he was. I wish I had a camera. 
you say theater, I say theatre. 
And the fact that the manager overheard the plan and was just waiting for him to strike was even better.
