Dumbass at a movie theater

Finally got a good one. I’m an assistant manager at a movie theater and I live in an area with a lot of boomers and retired people, so that’s the majority of our clientele.

The other day, with our first set of films showing, a boomer comes out of his theater and tells our ticket taker it’s too dark and he can’t see where to go. My manager and I are a little confused, so he goes to the projection booth to double-check all of the proper lights and breakers are turned on.

He comes back down and goes into the theater to find the man and see what he’s talking about. Now in this auditorium, there’s a short hallway before you enter the seating area; this man was standing at the end of the hallway, saying he couldn’t see anything. My manager points out the lights are on in the auditorium because it’s still showing trailers, so he should be able to see just fine. This man…. This man was looking at the WALL in the hallway. He had not even entered the auditorium. He was looking. At. The. Hallway. Wall. And complained that it was too dark. I have never been at a complete loss of words the way I was that day

And then of course after the movie he yelled at the ticket taker again because it was too dark and he couldn’t find his seat.
