I work in a movie theatre that ONLY accepts cash. This is for speed purposes because we only have one box office, right?

We also have a bank machine located in the lobby for easy use. I worked last night. I don't know how many years my theatre has been in operation, or how many times these people have been to the movies, but they don't seem to understand that we "DO NOT TAKE VISA, MASTERCARD OR INTERAC". I nicely point everyone to the bank machine in the lobby. However, yesterday, the bank machine ran out of money. Suddenly, I got a swarm of complete assholes yelling at me. I couldn't control the bank machine, I'm sorry. I instructed them to walk 15 feet out the door to the other bank machine and recieved some of the worst looks I've ever seen. I'm sorry people, I'm sorry..

Another problem with customers I have is when they order copious amounts of food, yet NEVER HAVE ENOUGH CASH TO PAY FOR IT. The prices are clearly marked, and if I see someone only having a $10 asking for about $15 of food, I mention the price early before I make anything. Yet, they seem shocked and intrigued that the price is like that. If they need a quarter, I pay out of my own fucking pocket. However, they are't [edited] getting [/edit] me for $5. I'm sorry the prices are high.

I could go on for hours, people are just so.. ignorant sometimes. Signs are an easy thing to read.
