I say your doing a ripping job old chap. Here’s half a fiver. I’ll give you the rest next year, so now you have a retirement savings plan.
This is the proper way to reward the ticket-ripper. Along with a cupping of their buttocks.
Repeated for truthiness.
You’re confusing this with TSA work perhaps?
Whoah. That guy was tipping me. I just thought he was drunk. And maybe gay. Or disappointed that there was no naked Lea Thompson, 'cause Footloose was playing. Although maybe he would have been more interested in Tom Cruise ass, which I believe starred in that other movie, alongside naked Lea Thompson.
Unlike tdn we didn’t have paper airplane contests after the theater closed. Although I did help the concession workers fish the dead cockroaches out of the Golden Topping (since, they’d climbed in and learned they couldn’t swim in molten, um, whatever that stuff actually was). But we did check who found the largest roach, so it was sort of like a contest.
Tip the ticket ripper? I usually just snag his wallet.
In the future, I shall provide ticket takers with the helpful tip that they should waste no time in adding All the Right Moves to their respective Netflix queues.
Ah, the cockroaches. Someone smooshed one in the manager’s office once. We drew an outline around its body with white out. And an accident report was filled out and posted on the bulletin board. I think his name was Homer.
I think PSXer is a ticket taker.
Yeah. I was working concession once after they sprayed for bugs. Thereby driving all the cockroaches into the concession stand. All the mommies came out with their howling kiddies when the wolf-thing showed up in Fantasia… and we had to keep shooing cockroaches off the candy, cups, etc.
Lord knows how many ended up in the popcorn. But, eh. That happens anyway. The best part of some movies I’ve seen is overhearing someone chomping away on popcorn say “wow. this one was bitter.”
“Plastics”
$100, but only if the ticket taker was female.
And naked.
And Lea Thompson.
Love you, want to have your babies, etc.
I pay him by not strangling his children.
Huh, I always thought that letting keep half my $12 ticket was enough…
I prefer gifts. I like to give them a personalized laserdisc or Betamax cartridge.
I invite him home with me.
Is that wrong?
When I ripped tickets, a $10 tip was customary. Cheapskates usually wound up getting hit with a flying tackle right before entering the theater.
I save the tips for the people that work the hard jobs like the moam-back at the airport. That is the guy that stands out on the tarmac and waves the sticks and says moam-back, moam back to get you away from the gate and on your way. I always open up the window right then and there and throw down a Benjamin as we turn. You have never seen gold teeth light up the sky so brilliantly every time I do it.
Ooo, Rockefeller here! Who can afford to give the full half these days? Some of the newer theaters have switched to having the ticket portion be longer than the tear portion, so I’ve been frequenting those to save money.
Do you know how much ticket you can save if you only give a third of the ticket to the ticket taker?? DO YOU?!
