The woman was well dressed and was driving a fairly luxurious SUV. It appeared that she deposited her sleeping child in the line so that she would not have to stand there herself for 3 hours. I was first in line and was a tourist from Chicago. In 2008 I would not have been carrying a cellphone around with me. If the kid had not woke up, soiled himself, and begun to cry, I doubt if any of us would have done anything. The lady most likely would have returned shortly before 10:00 AM to purchase the tickets.
A 9-year old child in a rush line holding a spot for an adult is an obvious violation of any sane box office policy. |
