| - This cinema experience is better than most others (ok, not The Manor because that is just plain special). But, better than Lowe's because Lowe's got rid of most of their staff in favor of automated ticket kiosks and drink machines. I kind of prefer a real person tending to my needs, plus Cinemark gives more employment opportunities.
But, the real draw to this particular Cinemark is that because of the curfew imposed on teens without adults at the Monroeville Mall, that means less people in attendance on opening premier nights, thus more opportunity for me (such as in the opening of a particular Star Wars movie I recall. We went online, ordered a ticket easily and showed up at movie time and enjoyed our flick. Incredible.)
And, last evening (Saturday) my husband and I saw a 7:45pm showing of "The Circle" and we paid a total of 10.00 (4 for him -- senior citizen rate and 6 for me). Then, I had signed up for Cinemark reward emails and had a coupon for a free small popcorn with purchase of any size soft drink so I got a popcorn and medium diet coke for 4.95. Thus, our date nite of a movie and concession treats came to 14.95. Yeah, go beat that for stadium seating, a theatre close by (minutes from our house) on a Saturday night. Think not.
