Feb. 3rd, 2007 07:08 pmAs regards the Amish mentioned earlier:
We had an Amish family come up to our box office and ask about ticket prices, so I quoted some of the prices for the afternoon production (there's a different one, mainly for kids, in the morning) and they wandered off because hey, we aren't cheap. Anyway, the father of the family came back a few minutes later with a flyer, demanding to know what I meant by quoting him one price when the flyer had another. The flyer's ad was for our childrens' show, which yes, is much less expensive because it's for kids. I tried to explain this to him, but I think that he thought I was trying to overcharge him. Anyway, he got rather upset and shouted a bit and then stalked off. Into the silence that followed, my boss snickered.
"Sam, you pissed off the Amish!"
The meme of "Sam, you pissed off _______" is rapidly becoming the box office equivalent of "They killed Kenny!"
In other news: seriously, I had no idea the Super Bowl got like this.
Most of my coworkers are gathering at a bar tomorrow to watch the game. My boss is showing up at nine to stand in line because the bar opens at 11 and expects to be full by 11:15. He's going to save them all a table until most of them arrive around noon. Kickoff is at 5:30.
They've put Bears helmets on the lions in front of the Art Institute Museum. The bakery near my flat is closing at five. I was told to be sure not to wear blue tomorrow. Bears colours are orange and blue with an emphasis on orange; Colts colours are blue and white with the emphasis on blue.
Me? I'm going to the super bowl party, which is going to be mostly theatre kids, so in my head anyway it'll probably be 90% shop talk and 10% "Hey, shut up, the commercials are back on!"
