    I used to be a ticket taker guy at a theater. like federal minimum wage plus $1, maybe.

    I never once said shit to anybody bringing shit in. the concession prices are bullshit and the selection sucks. sometimes people would sort of ask "is this ok?" and I would just shrug and wave them through.

    people who confidently brought in totally wack shit without trying to even do any smuggling were my favorite. like a big fast food bag or Chinese takeout. the best was some guy brought in a whole rotisserie chicken to watch one of the Star wars prequels. I always gave them big smiles and made sure to tell them to "enjoy the movie" sincerely.
