Indeed I waited on line for 15 minutes and when I finally got to the
food table there was NOTHING (except some Chick Peas). I stood around
for a while and eventually wandered away.
For my second attempt, I was not so polite (and the line was a bit
amorphous), but I got food!
We shouldn't criticize people based on their behavior in a crowded and
poorly organized arrangement (the placement of the food by the theater
made determining who was on what line problematical).
