It truly does mean the world. Especially when a person pays X amount of money to travel, lodge and see the play. I can understand when there are crowds of people or even a person with 5+ items that they must decline or set a limit, but to completely ignore...
I even don't mind autograph hounds because they sell to a fan who doesn't have the means to get one in person and seriously, what does it hurt them? Time constraints are the only excuse in my opinion (as well as sheer mass volume of request). When I met Al Pacino, he signed for a bunch of people and posed for photos. Took him 3 minutes in total to do it. Not everyone that probably wanted one got it, but he still made time (and there were LOTS of people). One person for Jake told me (he was just an autograph collector for himself. Young guy, nice guy) told me that if you had your ticket to the play exposed he'd probably more prone to sign. That usher or whoever it was quickly made us put every thing away though.
