My wife and I had a rather unpleasant start to our evening on Saturday the 2nd of August. We arrived early for a movie and witnessed a couple security guards harass a couple kids. They were standing with a sign that said "Free Coke for a Hug". People were going up to them and taking pics etc... not big numbers... one or two here and there..., pretty random.
Nonetheless, you'd expect there was a greater chance of drawing attention of the security... looks like they really got their moneys worth! You would have thought these guys started a fight... there were patrons coming to their defense and this one older whited haired guard was clearly escalating the situation by yelling at everyone and being offensive. He was far from professional and I'm sure he didn't like his "authority" questioned. But threatening to rip the kids sign etc.. it was going too far.
I walked up and simply asked, excuse me, what's your name? He said, Why? and I told him I'd like to know it so I could include it in my letter to his company. He said "Jim". Ok... Jim... then asked why? I said, "I don't like you". Because, I frankly don't !! He said "I hope you never have any kids"... which i thought was funny... (I have lots of kids...they don't get into trouble...but I understood his sentiment)
I would say, in his defense, there was a lady that he was yelling back and forth with that he clearly offended... she overstepped her bounds however and threw soda on him. Uncalled for and it shouldn't have happened... again, the escalation on the part of the guards shouldn't have happened either.
