If at first your don't succeed...

Tourists try the door and find it locked.

Tourists try the door next to the other door and find that locked too.

Tourists knock on the door and I shake my head at them and point to the hours next to the door.

Tourists knock again. I do the same, clearly showing them we're not open for another 30 minutes.

Tourists try door #3 finding it locked.

Tourists try door #4... that's locked too.

Tourists eventually find the staff door and walk inside and come to my desk.

 Tourists: 2 admissions please.

Me: I'm sorry, we're not open for another 30 minutes.

Tourists: You're NOT?!

****

Male Tourist wanders in and blows right past me.

Me: Hello Sir, how can I help you?

MT: I'm just browsing.

Me: Okay, well its $10 for an admission.

MT: Oh...

Me: But you can see this area and this area for free. They are down the stairs.

MT: Oh, okay. *starts walking into the paid admission area*

Me: Um, Sir? Not that way. Down the stairs *gestures to the stairway*

MT: Oh! You didn't say that. Okay. *Keeps walking in the same direction*

Me: Sir? The stairs are in the OTHER direction. Right there *points at the stairway which is opposite him*

MT: *stares at me* Oh.. you didn't say that. *Once again tries to go into the paid area again*

Me: *growls* Sir...

MT: *sighs and finally makes it down the stairs*
