Also, Brambles found this e-mail I read to him pretty funny. It's from my boss at the "budget" movie theater where I work. Though I feel a little bad about this, some things are just too funny to be kept private.
"Hi guys,
we now have a problem customer. He is older, probably in his 60's, white hair and beard, always wears a black shirt and jeans, and is a smoker. He comes in on a regular basis to see 9 pm movies, often drunk. Last night he came to see a movie, snuck vodka in, got even more drunk, and grew violent at the concession counter when the movie was over. He is not allowed back. If he comes to buy a movie ticket tell him he cannot buy one because he has snuck alcohol into our theater. If he will not leave, tell him you are going to call the cops, and pick up the phone. If pretending doesn't help, actually call the cops. Please do not find yourself alone with this guy. If he's in the building for whatever reason and you have to separate, take a walkie talkie. So far our emergency phrase has been "do you have any goldfish?"
If you have any questions about this, please call me. If you are at the theater and he is there and you want back up, you can call P----- or P---, both live just up the street. Call P------ first. Please let me know if you have to deal with him. Guys, I hate to say this, and I"m sorry girls if this sounds sexist, but please do your best to seem big and strong and like you'll protect your female co-workers."

"What? Who is this?"
"I'm working the concession stand tonight, and [one moment, sir] we're out of goldfish!"
"Uhh ... I'm off tonight, dude. Call P---."
"[Whoa, that is not appropriate! Please calm down, sir.] Look, P------, I need those goddamn goldfish right fucking now."
"OH! Thoooose goldfish. Be right there! In the meantime, try your best to seem big and strong."
