Doesn't anyone pay attention anymore - 2 stories in one day

Went to the movies at King of Prussia...friday matinee.  Looooong line because only one window is open (even though Wall-E just opened today) and its manned by someone with a very limited IQ and no common sense (the worst combination).  We notice that he charges 10 dollars for matinee...should be 8...we point this out...he just shrugs and points to his computer screen...forget the sign on OUR side of window that says matinee before 3pm - 8 dollars.  In sympathy to the 40 people behind us in line...I said...just buy it will complain later to manager.  Which we did and he refunded us the money.  He rolled his eyes and groaned when we told him the story.  Now...don't you suppose that may have been happening all afternoon...since "the computer says so"?  Could be why the manager gave me 20 dollars instead of 2! hmmmm.

Then to the Cadillac dealer where are car was being service.  Now I will chalk this story up to there being two service managers out on vacation (not to limited IQ or lack of common sense) but nonetheless...we had originally asked for the "spring into spring" service special listed at $9.95 (forget it's summer).  then they called us to say we needed the 30,000 mile check...fine.  but when we picked up the car...the bill had the spring special (at 19.95) AND the 30,000 miles.  hmmm.   isn't there an overlap we say?  oh gosh...yes....whoosh...corrected.  Sigh.

You gotta keep your eye on everything...
