  • I have been to this theater numerous times since its opening and never had a bad experience - until now. My girlfriend broke her foot at the end of November and was given a temporary disabled placard. The walking boot cast she has to wear 24/7 makes it incredibly difficult for her to walk OR stand for long periods of time. I made sure to call a week prior to buying my tickets to ask the ticket agent if it would be possible to sit down on a bench until they started letting people into the theater. Also that if once they started letting people in if we would be able to go in as quickly as possible since my girlfriend wouldn't be able to stand for a long without being in a tremendous amount of pain. The agent was very pleasant and informed me that doing so wouldn't be an issue. So after talking to the agent I went and purchased our tickets almost two weeks prior to the actual showing. The night of the showing we got to the theater at 5:45PM for a 7:00 PM movie. We went straight to the theater and i asked to speak to a manager to explain the situation. When he came out and i let him know that my girlfriends foot was broken and showed him the disabled placard he looked at her foot for awhile with a smirk on his face deciding whether or not her disability was good enough for him. Now just because someone is not in a wheelchair does not mean they are not disabled. This was complete discrimination and i hope that in the future anyone who is disabled and does not look it does not ask for assistance from this manager. After about a minute pause he said "Yeah.. that's fine i guess" and walked away without saying anything else. We had no idea what we were supposed to do and just stood there for a good couple of minutes until he started flagging us down from the eating area by the concession stands. We walked over to him where he was standing by a table with with a family of 5 who were all sitting down enjoying they're food. He then proceeded to say "Excuse me but this lady cannot stand because of her broken foot." pointing down to my girlfriend's foot. They said it wasn't a problem and the father stood up and gave us his seat. He then said to us out loud "Don't forget to thank these people for giving up one of their seats". This put us in a horrible and incredibly awkward situation. We did not ask the manager for a chair - let alone taking one from a family who was in the middle of their meal. We then are sitting there while while the father of that family is standing their having to eat his dinner. Making us feel like jerks for taking his chair when we didn't ask for it in the first place! I go to GVR maybe 3-4 times a week and see movies at this theater at least once a month. I will never be back to this theater unless They are lucky my girlfriend didn't sue for discrimination!!!!!!
