More supervision needed at this theatre 7/13/2009

One Firday night I took my son to visit this theatre. Upon arrival we realized there were no lines to get in and the tickets were very cheap. Once we entered the theatre it was a ghosttown and we could clearly see why. The place was a mess! There were spilled buckets of popcorn all over the floors, empty cups left on the chairs, and other trash left thoughout the theatre floors. Once the movie began we were the only viewers in the room. About 20 minutes into the show the film went to a split screen with the movie shown with the top half of the picture on the bottom and the bottom half on the top. We waited patiently for it to straiten out but when it didnt I went to ask for help. I left the viewing room and immediatly walking around the corner was the popcorn stand where I found one of the young gentleman there with his hand in the popcorn holder and a mouthful! He even had popcorn falling down his chest & belly. Once he finished chewing, embarrasinhgly, I told him the film was messed up and he walkie talkied someone to fix it. Upon re-entering the movie I advised my son not to eat any more of the popcorn & why. This little 9 year old was completly disgusted that someone was eating the popcorn out of the machine! so not only did we sit in a dirty theatre, the film was messed up, and we couldnt eat the snack we had bought. I have not been back to this theatre. When we were leaving I wanted to approach the boy and tell him that we wanted our money back for the popcorn. He quickly walked into a managers room behind tickets sales and closed the door. I had had enough of the place and just wanted to exit, so i never got my refund...This was all at an early evening movie on a friday night. At such an early hour i would expect the theatre to be clean, and on a friday i would expect it to be packed...neither was the case and i now know why. Pros: close to home, very cheap tickets Cons: film errors, messy floors & chairs, unprofessional staff more
