Hi, this is Marie.
Besides my regular job, I've been working part-time at Local Playhouse. I handle ticket sales, field calls about showtimes, and tell people the restrooms are down the hall on the right.
(phone rings)
Marie: "Local Playhouse box office, can I help you?"
Ms. Cranky: "Hi, I need to get a refund on some tickets."
Marie: "Okay, when is the show? Are you able to bring them down here?"
Ms. Cranky: "Yes, I can bring them over tomorrow, am I able to get a full refund?"
Marie: "That depends on the show, and when it is."
Ms. Cranky: "It's 'A Shoggoth on the Roof.'"
Marie: "Hmmm... I don't see that on our schedule. Did you call the right theater? This is Local Playhouse."
Ms. Cranky: "Yes, I've got the tickets right here. They were for July 23, 2017."
Marie: "Um, we don't give refunds on tickets from past productions. We can't resell them."
Ms. Cranky: "That's ridiculous. They've never been used. They're in good condition. I must have forgotten about them and never gone to the show. I found them today when I was cleaning out a drawer."
Marie: "I'm sorry, but we can't give you a refund on them."
Ms. Cranky: "Now what am I supposed to do? I've already called every scalper in town and they won't take them either! People like you are why theater is dying!"

You did a will for my father 26 years ago, he died and we were wondering what it says because we can’t find it
Give her the telephone number for “American Pickers”?
Call my Dad’s office he deals with this kind of stuff
OMG! Does this woman have dementia or something similar since I can't imagine anyone even asking this otherwise.
She needs a friend or acquaintance like Doc Brown to give her a ride in a delorean back to July 2017 and go to the performance (or get a refund before the date on the ticket).
Oh my goodness! Thanks for the laughs! What a delightful blog post. Thank you!
Re: "A Shoggoth on the Roof"
As Captain America once said, "I got that!" Great music! ^_^
