i survived the zombie hoard at work today. and that’s not much of an exaggeration. they were pressing their faces against the glass doors this morning before we were open and some even banged on the glass when they saw us working to get things open. and then when we let them in the just stumbled forward to the concession line with CONSUME in their eyes.
and consume they did. and waste. waste and consume. i felt like i was in a george romero film.
i love walking down the hall with people line up against the wall like cattle waiting for the slaughter, only waiting for their movie to seat, and comment towards the garbage cans over flowing with cardboard and paper, “cinemark, doing our part to keep the world green.” some people laugh. some people look offended. and other reach out searching for brains to eat.
had some woman today tell me it was rediculous i wouldn’t give her another popcorn bag so her family could split their one bag of popcorn they paid for. i asked her what they were giving away at target today? and asked her to go pick me one up too.
i love it when they get all impatient and stamp their feet and roll their eyes and look at me like i have some magical power to make the line go faster. then they get there and take up another five minutes debating with their group what they want to get. duh. you been in line for fifteen minutes staring at the menu board. this is why you have to wait. i’m sorry you only come to the movies on the busiest day of the year. not my fault. where were you last week when there were no lines? fools.
consume and waste, consume and waste.
