back in 2005, I drove 2 hours to get to a water park while visiting the states with some friends. we had a plastic bag with a couple water bottles and a pound or two of grapes. unaware that if we wanted some damn grapes we'd have to smuggle them in, we happily declared them... without saying a word, the bag checker dumped it all in a garbage bin and handed the plastic bag back to me...
my buddy tore the guy a couple new holes, and we ended up getting 10 bucks from the guy to go away.
AFTER we paid admission and got to stand around in a line for 10 minutes, some chubby security guards came and asked us to leave the park.. when we demanded a refund they regurgitated some shitty policy about not giving refunds to "unruly patrons"..
still having the stamps on our hands, we just went through a different entrance and got a couple hours out of the place before driving back.
