A minor WTF from this evening at work.
I just started a new job about two weeks ago at a movie theatre. Basically, the jist of it is that we get the movies after they're out of all the other theatres, but! you only have to pay $3 for Matinees and $4 for Evenings (and only $2 on Tuesdays!)
We used to have Friday and Saturday midnight movies, but we've very recently (as in, about a week) gotten rid of them, as they weren't pulling in enough people.
So, I'm sitting in the office at the end of my shift, counting inventory. The phone rings, and the manager in his office answers it.
The phone continues ringing, so the Projectionist answers it. Both phonecalls are inquiries about the midnight showings, both the manager and the projectionist explain that they didn't pull enough people so we don't have them anymore.
After they hang up, the projectionist calls to the manager. "Did yours offer to pay extra for a midnight showing?"
Silence for a moment, and then, from the managers office, there comes a very dumbfounded "... No."
I imagine that would be a very pricy ticket, given that he'd probably be the only person in the theatre, and would have to somehow manage to pay all of the employees who had to continue working.
I just... how does that logic even work.
