Does an appointment at the Genius Bar cost money?
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I would not and still will not ask strangers to watch my food.
I'm just surprised to hear Laga's POV, that the customers must not trust the theatre employees to watch their food. The question of trust wouldn't even enter into it for me; I just thought it was rude, in an imperious sort of way, to be all, "Oh, even though you're busy waiting on other customers, I need you to watch *my* food for me while I pee."
I totally would have expected Laga to say something like "I can't believe that customers expect the employees to watch their food, when the employees have *other* customers to wait on!"
Just goes to show, I'm damned if I do, and need to remember to not take my food in the bathroom with me at the theatre.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just thought it was rude
It struck me as rude and therefore unsafe--if I have no right to ask someone to watch my food, who knows what happens to it when my back is turned?
And then, even if it's not rude, some people just suck.

Cereally, if you're comfortable taking your food in with you, I think you should ignore everyone (including me) that thinks it's weird. Your food, and you know what happens to it.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Good points all.
Mind you, I share the sense of squick at finding a Taco Wrapper in the loo. Because - ew.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Is it so difficult to plan ahead and potty before buying food. Or have someone else in your group hold the food while you make that mad dash?
As for the taco wrapper - hopefully the person was just emptying a pocket or something. Ummmm....yeah.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
See, this is why I don't go to movies by myself.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I take my food to the bathroom, but then all I have to do is set it on the shelf-thing above the urinals....

Ann, that's a ferret.
I think I'm pushing the line of acceptability if I give my order, then dash off to run a 2-second errand while the employees prepare my order. Even if I'm back before my order is ready. "Could you keep an eye on this" is acceptable only for an unforeseen (preferably unforeseeable) dire emergency, and I don't feel I have room to complain if my order isn't there when I get back.
