Most of you have seen that commercial (if not, you can find it here) for Ci-Ci's pizza "line-jumpers" and how it doesn't really matter in a buffet, but at movies, they are strongly disliked. For example...
A few of my friends and I arrived at the Galaxy 16 Cine in hopes to see Avatar 3D. I had already seen it in normal format and I decided it would be well worth it to see it in 3D. We arrived 15 minutes before the showtime thinking, "Oh, it's been out for a over a month now, it should be easy to get into." Well, we were wrong. First off, the credit card system was down and so we couldn't just avoid the lines, we had to wait.
My friends arrived later than I did, so I was just going to pay for them and they were going to pay me for them later. A bunch of little middle school-ers had apparently had one person stand in line for them because suddenly 5 more people line-jumped and stood with him. Not only that, but apparently they were going to see Avatar 3D as well.
They all got their tickets and then the last kid walks up and says, "I'd like three tickets to Avatar 3D," and he receives his tickets. It was then my turn to get the tickets. I walk up and say, "I would also like three tickets to Avatar 3D, please." The lady says, "I'm sorry, but he just bought the last three." You can imagine my anger when she says this. They had ALL just line-jumped me, and for what? For me not to be able to see my movie.
So if you are a line-jumper, let it be known that it is ONLY okay to line-jump at the buffet. NOT MOVIES!
Will you be a line-jumper?
