I'm so mad I could...

OK, I figure I needed to blog this right now to get all the details down...

Tonight we had our final softball game. The game was at 10:10 PM, not a very popular time for our team. When I get to the game, I pay my usual $3 to get into the game. In exchange, we get a 50 cent off concessions coupon. Since the batting cages aren't working tonight, I'm a bit early for the game. So I turn in my 50 cent coupon and pay another $1 to get a pretzel.

Turns out the opposing team doesn't show up. We get a forfeit win, and they refund us our $3 if we go to the desk. I go up to the desk and ask for my $3. They ask me for my ticket. I told them I used it to buy a pretzel. I'm then told that I can't get my $3 back unless I have a ticket. I tell them that I'm the captain of this team, I used my ticket to buy a pretzel. He says he can't give me $3 back without a ticket. I say I pay $400 for this league, drive all the way out here for a 10:10 game, have the game forfeited, patronize your concession stand, and you won't give me my $3 gate fee back. He says he can't help it if they forfeited. My friend gives me an old ticket to use. I try to use it. He says "I'm not giving it you, you just told me you used your ticket." I tell him I don't appreciate the attitude. He says I'm the one giving him attitude.

He did end up giving me the park manager's name to call tomorrow. I ask him to have him call me. He at first refuses, but then ends up taking my name and number. I don't plan on waiting for him to call, I will be calling him first chance I get.
