Final Unexpected Journey Rant (part 3)
Nov. 10th, 2012 09:27 pmWell, this part isn't going to be a rant... I already went into the maddening details during my first post (mostly) and the second post (follow up). This final piece is just to discuss the final resolution.
Went into the theater today to see Skyfall. Great movie btw. Decided I'd do the final return of tickets before the movie started. I thought I would just stand in line with all the people waiting to buy tickets and then realized that Guest Services should be handling my type of problems and, when not otherwise engaged, could sell tickets. Anyways, I go around to wait in the short line for GS - and I got gruff from the ticket taker (during the day they have the main lobby roped off so that the entire complex can be served by one ticket taker) about waiting in the other line. Yeah. Not, guy.
Both of the people in front of me had issues they wanted to resolve with the theater management - can't remember what they were but they weren't buying tickets. I get up to the counter and I figure this is one of the top brass people. He not only knew how to return my money for the entire transaction of tickets (rather than the poor schmuck on Wed that could only figure out how to return one ticket at a time) he made sure my disgruntle about having to pay the surcharge on movietickets TWICE (for four tickets) was resolved by giving me two open passes good for any show, any time, in any type of theater.
Next time I head to the theater I'll be wearing my Team Van Helsing shirt - it has a stake dripping glittery blood on it too. Heh. Although I cannot resist seeing how they put the final Meyer bit of book on the screen, I am going to bring all the snark I felt while reading them too.
In other news: I am still getting notifications about and books are arriving from an (apparently) huge pre-order of books that I did via Subterranean Press. Weird, yet fun. Like getting timey wimey presents from the past.
Back to Skyfall. One of the best Bond films, ever. I love all the nods to historical Bond moments (no spoilers, but you'll know em when you see em).
