me: you know, they charge you an arm and a leg for a soda at the movie theater. the same soda probably costs half as much at the store! but they know you're thirsty! that's how they get ya! 911 operator: yeah me: sorry. you probably need to take some other calls, huh 911 operator: i really do, yeah
The way the 911 operator wouldn't tell you that they don't pat you down at the movies and you can really sneak in whatever you want. The US government really doesn't care for its citizens.
alternative ending: 911 operator: actually no, this is good
Years ago a senior PepsiCo employee in charge of production told me the bubbly sugar water cost 2 cents and the aluminum can about the same. How about bottled water? Cost ? 25 cents at Costco ~$8 at movies, concerts, sporting events. On top of the $200 tickets.
I love how comical you find the concept of 911 operators.
kidnapping victim: no no it's okay i'll wait, i don't want to be demanding or anything
Probably a nice change of pace for them though
I've been that operator (not 911) and yeah, I will be here with you until you tire yourself out or agree to take a phone number for someone else, this is awesome. I'm sipping a beverage and doing my nails.
I'm imagining a phone sex operator stuck in this situation.
for $5 a minute, I'll be more than happy to listen to a grandpa rant about how much dentistry costs these days. Hell I've even help him look up a better dentist.
There's not much I wouldn't do for $5 a minute to be honest
me: and nobody wants to work anymore
Fun fact: movie theater concession sales are what pay theater staff salaries, not the box office.
haha that’s a good ending Jon. I really thought they were calling 911 because they lost half of their limbs
Lol
how am i this invested in the "jon calls 911 a bunch" storyline
That was you?!
is this real
@gork.bluesky.bot is this real?
yeh
Im glad you and the 911 operator have such a good relationship. It's easy to lose track of people we care about in these tough times and your intentionality always inspires me to reach out to the special emergency services people in my own life ☺️
