I worked at a movie theater over the summer.
Client: What’s The Help about? Is it good?
Me: I haven’t seen it yet, but our synopsis says it’s about race relations in Mississippi in the 1960s. Specifically, white families and the black help.
Client: You work at a movie theater and you don’t know what it’s about?
Me: I personally haven’t seen the movie - I can only give you the synopsis we have available. Would you like to read it for yourself?
Client: I don’t want to read a synopsis I want you to tell me what it’s about. (takes a step back, fuming) You have no idea how much restraint it’s taking me to not burn you with this cigarette.
