| - I'm usually a RedBox kinda gal since I'm pretty obsessed with my ability to pause and rewind, not to mention I prefer to be sprawled out in my pajamas, but a movie theater night every now and then is always a fun way to spend a few hours.
As far as the usual theater concerns go, Rave meets and exceeds most expectations. It has stadium seating, it's pretty clean, the ticket line moves pretty fast, they do 3D, great location at Town Square, the facility is pretty modern and well-kept. There are a few unique things that are fun and interesting too...They have assigned seating (which to some is awesome and to others, it's annoying). The way it works is you pick your seats on a touch-screen when you pay for your ticket. Also, they have 21+ showings, which are showings for people age 21 and up. If you go to one of those, you can order alcoholic beverages to enjoy during your movie viewing experience! I will admit, I can see that making the loud and obnoxious even more loud and obnoxious, but we didn't have that problem last night during our experience. Though we didn't order any intoxicating libations, the cocktail waitress lady told us the drinks ranged in price from $7-11. Also, I think they do student discounts on Wednesday with your college ID.
So about our experience last night...
Well, they do this AWESOME thing at Rave...it's $5 Tuesdays with your local ID. We'd never taken advantage of this fantastic deal before, so my husband and I were pretty excited about it. When we got to the ticket booth, the cashier helping us (and I use the term "helping" loosely) refused to use her little speaker thingy so we couldn't hear a word she said. Her lips were moving behind the glass, but we're not lip readers (shame on us!), so it made our verbal exchange very difficult and awkward. My husband repeatedly told her he couldn't hear her. She rolled her eyes and treated us like we were the biggest inconvenience of her life. Like I said, we'd never been there on $5 Tuesday, so my husband told her which movie we wanted to see and asked if she needed to see his local ID for the deal. She continued her impression of a TV show on mute (with more eye-rolls), gestured toward the touch screen so we could pick our seats, then when my husband slid $10 through the slot to pay, she pointed at our total which was $15. He inquired why she didn't honor the $5 deal. Well by this time, she's exasperated with us, we're totally confused and annoyed with her demeanor toward us (I seriously felt stupid that buying a movie ticket could be this complicated). We think she said something about it being a 21+ showing...we had no idea. Ok. Fine. We just wanted to leave Miss Grouchy to her little glass box and go watch our movie. Maybe we just didn't realize the 21+ showings were more expensive. We pay, go in...my husband asked the ticket taker if we were charged correctly. The guy said "I'm not sure. I'm sorry." I get it, he didn't have time to sort through our problem as there was a line of people he needed to get through. It was the guy who checked our ticket to direct us to our seats that was our hero. He informed us that he was pretty sure ALL showings were $5 and advised us to go get our money back. Well, to make this already LONG story not as long as it could be, we talked to one of the staff members near the front and she quickly and courteously took our tickets, went into the ticket booth and came back with our money. She was awesome! So, our faith restored, we went in and enjoyed the rest of our movie experience.
