revenge. it's what's for dinner.
I might have mentioned the Promotion from Hell, where if you get three nights at one of our hotels we throw in a pair of Cirque ticket for free. And how stupid people are with it. Particularly since a) they're FREE and b) no you can't change or upgrade them, they're FREE GODDAMMIT. All you have to do is list your top three choices and we fill the order. How could anyone screw that up? /sarcasm
Stupid woman (from Colorado, if you're wondering/keeping score, NOT Florida this time) calls, she got some tickets assigned. She requested Zumanity. And got them. And then learned that there were *gasp!* "homos" in it! And she said that EVERYONE says how bad the show is, and she's HORRIFIED that she's going to be FORCED to accept FREE tickets to a show with, you know, "homos!"
I so wanted to hang up on her. I really did. But I hadn't had my review yet this month so I put her on hold (enjoy your crappy hold music! The same lame jazz song over and over, possibly from a Coleman Francis movie. No, really) and asked the supervisor if I could exchange the tickets. Which he said yeah. After he laughed when I told him why. So, making it clear that this was a one time exception, I rebooked her for another show. Keep in mind I can only pull from the seats they set aside for this promotion. I had lots to choose from, however, some which were very good seats (I've been there a few times.)
However, Miss "I don't wanna take a chance on maybe seeing two guys kissing on a stage" will be sitting on the extreme side of the theater, very close up, so she'll be looking up most of the performance. The worst possible seats I could get for her. And when she asked me if they were good seats I did not lie, but I sure didn't tell her where they were. I said it's the same section I sit in. I didn't tell her I sit further back, and closer to the center. It was totally at my discretion to even reseat her for another performance.
The lesson here is, if you're calling to ask for something you don't really have a right to, and are asking for a favor, do NOT be so fucking stupid as to assume that everyone has the same bigoted asshat view of the universe you do, so if you don't want to find yourself at the mercy of someone who does NOT share your homophobia, keep your Fat Mouth Shut, Bitch.
And enjoy the side of the theater. I had to place you in my favorite show, but you won't know it from where you're sitting.
My only regret is that tickets for Believe were not available. That would have served you right.
