Kansas City Moment:1
There is only one Arby's within 10 miles of where I live, and nearly 6 McDonalds. I find this upsetting and unnecessary. If I want to enjoy a cheddar melt you better believe that each craving will lead to a 20 minute long adventure. Two Jimmy Johns and way too many pizza and bbq joints...but no Arby's. Kansas City, you suck.

Cinemark Moment 2
My job is to usher, thus I must keep things in order and clean...including all 14 theaters. And I do just that. I'm sure many people work at places where people ask questions that make them want to slap that customer in the face. I know I do. And here's a few examples:
1) "Excuse me mam. Where is the bathroom?" I look up at a confused soccer mom doing the pee pee dance then look to our left and point up at the giant restroom sign above us. "See.." I say.
2) While working in box office ( against my will) a woman approaches smiling with a one tooth grin. "Hey. Hey mam. I-is this a 'movie' theater?" I look passed her into the background at all the standees displaying the soon to be released blockbuster summer hits and sigh. My vision focuses back on the woman currently looking up at the movie times displayed above me, she notices my eyes on her and asks again. "Well, is it?" "Yes mam..." all I could utter.
The only reason I haven't found another job: Movie hoppers and their excuses:
3) "I just bought this ticket man!" Ticket says 2:30pm and it's 7:45pm. We can't sell tickets for that time so late on the same day.
4) "U-uh yeah, so I got just throw my stub away you know? So, where's the 9:15 Transformers?" Me: "We don't have a 9:15 Transformers." Person: "Really? Cuz I just bought a ticket!" Giving me the death glare. Me: "Lets go to box office and check the show times, ok?" Person: "Y-yeah ok whatever." He starts down the stairs basically running, turns right, and out the exit.
5) Got somene letting friends in the exit. I love their reason. "Yeah man, you see my friend here really needed to use the restroom." Me: "Then he needs to go down stairs to McDonalds. We don't have public restrooms." Before it was all said and done his friend went down stairs and bought a ticket.
People kill me, or maybe I take my job to seriously.
