Work Sucks

I should just be happy, apparently

Up +63 Down

I worked at a large movie theater corporation for just under two years and in that time I developed a reputation for being extremely apathetic and making fun of the customers without them realizing it because frankly, working at a movie theater is an absolutely miserable experience. Because of this I was very rarely scheduled to work anywhere that required customer interaction, but I would occasionally still get Box Office shifts to sell tickets. One of these times I had just started my shift when a married couple probably in their mid-to-late thirties and their children came up to ask for tickets to some movie. Immediately after I started selecting their movie and showtime, the man asks me, "Why aren't you happy?". My immediate response to this was, "I'm only happy when it rains." Neither he nor his wife apparently understood the reference to the incredibly popular song because he asked me if it was less busy when it rains. I responded by telling him that, no, it actually gets much busier at a movie theater when it rains and that I was referencing a song. I then gave them their tickets and sent them away. About ten minutes later I went back to the concession stand to grab a drink when one of my co-workers told me I received a complaint from somebody. It had to be that family because they were the only customers I had dealt with. They had apparently complained to management that I was literally too sad to be working there and that I should be happy just to have a job. They also stated that I was setting a bad example for their children. They received 2 free Large Popcorns and got their movies for free as well, all because I'm too witty for idiots who shelter their kids.
