... can you come to concessions?

General
Oookay. I'm a security guard. I am posted in random places. Yesterday, I was sent to a movie theater.
It was the single most oddest experience I've had on the job. I'm not saying it wasn't fun.. but I'm just glad I won't be there permanently. I mean, it was interesting to see how fast a 15 year old kid could run when I catch him and his friends trying to sneak in from the back. Through good luck, my uniform is completely black and I pull off the ninja bit quite well. When I noticed those three headed backing there I followed them, and the moment they tried to force the door I made my presence know. "Problem?" They all whipped around, saw me, and the one screamed "OH SHI-!* and took off like a bullet, completely abandoning his buddies. I took every last bit of mental power not to die laughing and hold my 'guard face' so I could deal with the other guys. I told them they could buy a ticket, or leave. They took the latter after their friend, but at a normal walk. Not long after I get a call on the radio "Security? Can you come to concessions?" This one had me worried, this was a high traffic area and if something bad were to happen people could get hurt. I hurried inside and stopped right were I was.

I don't know why, but... I don't know. I found out later this was a stunt planned by one of the employees. Just for fun I suppose. But still. Masks in a business place, I had to keep an eye on them.
The whole night reminded me of http://concessioncomic.com/ One of my favorite comics and I can now say I'm pretty sure such odd things can happen in a theater.
I made some good hours there, I think I may come out alright this next pay check. Ever since another officer screwed up and lost the account which was my 'home' that displaced me I've lost a good number of hours. Slowly, I've gotten back up to the number of hours I was getting before. And with the family moving out in less than a week now and me getting my own car at the same time... I need those hours.
Once this move is out of the way things might finally return to something of being normal. And I'll be able to see my boyfriend more often, which will be good.

Ugh... unforgivable. Sounds like both our lines of work have there troubles. I've yet to be in a situation where I had to use force. Just tell people to go away or just stand there and they get the message.
there are anti religious folks out there to destroy them you know, so its kinda a thing i have to deal with as long as i work for them...
xO i totaly no that feeling of loosing hours..... vary frustrating...
