Mom gets caught in lie about her "13-year-old" sons' real ages, movie theater employee maliciously complies: 'This woman was... short with me thoughout the whole transaction'

Have you ever told a little white lie about your age to get into somewhere for cheaper? It seems like a rite of passage for many kids. Your parents will take you somewhere where younger children are charged less money than older kids, like an amusement park, a buffet, or a movie theater. They'll whisper to you to tell the employee working there that you're younger, and then you do, saving your parents a few of their hard-earned dollars. It's a pretty low-stakes kind of rule-breaking, and most employees just look the other way instead of correcting parents. Most employees, that is. Because if that parent is acting completely impolite to the worker, what obligation does the worker have to help them out? 

This mom messed around and found out at her local movie theater and her lesson cost her $12. Live and learn… Being kind to retail workers isn't just the right thing to do, but it can also really pay off. 

Up next, you can witness what happened when a restaurant customer spotted a maintenance man standing on the food prep area at a local taco spot, only to be told that the workers "usually" clean that area: "Is this standard procedure?"
