Too little information

I work at the information desk. At said desk, I have learned that members of the human race are not always wise, neither are they considerate. In fact, it would appear that many of them are just flat out weird.

To demonstrate:

Girl comes up to the desk and looks at me.

Says nothing.

Me: Hi.

Girl: Hi.

Me: Can I help you?

Girl: I need some tickets.

Me: Okay. Which tickets do you need?

Girl: Divine Comedy.

I wait for more information.

Information does not come.

Me: Okay... What day?

Girl: Saturday.

A little more waiting. Maybe she'll actually tell me the rest.

Nope.

Me: ...What time?

Girl: 7:00 p.m.

Again.

Nope.

Me: ...How many?

Girl: Two.

Me: Ten dollars.

To help you understand, would you ever go up to a movie ticket counter and simply say..."I need some tickets"?

And if you did, how do you expect that they would look at you?

And if they then asked "to what", how would they look at you when you simply said, "Harry Potter"?


To all of you prospective ticket buyers, I will sing for you if you spit out "Hey I need two for Divine Comedy at 7 on Saturday." Transaction is made, you are on your way, and I love you to pieces. Cheerio.

Was that really so hard?
