Working at a theater box-office ticket window poses many challenges in dealing with people.

A disgruntled customer at a window near mine exclaimed: "No tickets? What do you mean no tickets?"

The woman waiting on him smiled sweetly. "I'm terribly sorry," she replied. "Which word didn't you understand?"
