We got to this theater complex, which we've never used before, a full 40 minutes prior to the 205pm showtime of "The Impossible".
But we never got to see the film.
WHY?
Because after waiting in a line for the box office, we were told by someone in the box office that (unlike the Century Suncoast) in order to take advantage of Tuesday-only "geezer" rates, you had to walk over to a "kiosk", swipe your Boyd card, get a coupon, then return to that box office line again, and then they will honor said coupon for the rate.
Well, there was a line for the "kiosk", a Microsoft piece-of-s**t contraption. Took forever. WHY are they sending these poor, older folks over to an "electronica" device, to do this bulls**t step? Plus there was no one around to help people.
Then, when one of our "geezer"s cards was swiped, it said "I cannot look up your information at this time", or some such message.
So we gave up.
Instead, we drove to the "new" AMC Town Square (AMC purchased the theaters from RAVE), where they are still honoring the $5 Tuesday rate, and we saw the movie!
We will never return to this Century cineplex. We'll continue to go to Century Cinedome Henderson & Century Suncoast, because we've had little to any problems there. (Other than "talkers" and "seat-kickers" and "perfume factories", and we've given up trying to avoid those people. It's useless. Which is why we'll be cutting WAY back on movie theaters, in 2013 and beyond.)
