So, Friday was probably the busiest day at work this whole year, seeing as we're selling for playoff hockey plus about 16 million other events. I'm talkin lines out both windows and the phone ringing constantly on 4 lines at a time.
Our policy when it comes to hockey tickets is one per student. Or, more technically, one per student ID. For some reason, most people find this to be a surprise when we tell them, so we're used to appologizing and suggesting they get their friends' id and bring it to us. When approached by someone asking to buy more than one, I usually start by asking "do you have more than one ID?" just to get that out of the way right at the beginning. People usually don't.
So as one can imagine I was pretty frazzled having spent 5 hours in the box office already when this group of guys comes up and crowds the window outside. The guy in front says, "6 RIT students to tonight's hockey game, please." Expecting the usual exchange, I ask, "Do you have 6 ID's?" He turns to the guys behind him and goes "All right, boys, give her your ID's!" I am then flooded with a wave of IDs being dumped onto the counter for my viewing pleasure. It's all i can do to keep from busting out laughing as I tell them they can take their ID's back. "You can keep THIS one!" Says a guy who has muscled his way to the front, and all they guys laugh at the expense of the owner of the ID he's holding up to the window.
Best moment ever.
