“I worked at a movie theater selling concessions and this older man approaches the counter and orders I asked him "would you like anything else?" And he looks at me and says "every time I ask for the thing I want they keep telling me it's illegal".

I'm quite creeped out by this guy and I so I just sort of chuckle he then proceeds to ask me "Do you want to know what I ask?".

Working in concessions part of the job is making the movie goers feel welcome so I say "sure" and then what he says to me was the most disturbing thing I have ever heard.

He says, "You wouldn't have any young girls in the back over there locked up for me?" He said as he's pointing to the closet. He then continued, "Because that's all I really want a young girl, I mean I wish I could just bring them back here and you'd keep them there locked up so I could just pick them up whenever I wanted. I like younger girls you know?"

At this point a line had already started forming up behind him and he had still not paid yet so I told him the total of his order he then asked me "You understand right?" And I didn't know what to say so I just chuckled and agreed. Then he pulled out a 10 dollar bill said "I like you" put it into the tip jar and walked away.”
