This was a great theater, and one employee spoiled my family’s time with her nasty attitude. The employee with the attitude said “we didn’t do anything wrong.” This is sad.

We run out of stuff and the kitchen had already been cleaned.” She walked off as soon as she said that and another employee refunded my money. She said, “All you had to do was get up and get your money. When I went to the register to get a refund, I was told there was no manager on duty, and was given a nasty attitude by the same employee.

I tried to deal with it and focus on the movie, but the people right beside us and in front of us had their bright phones on Facebook the entire time. I was in a theater surrounded by people talking and playing on their phones. My last experience here was an awful one. The film will look dark and slightly out of focus. The screens are small and dim with low quality projectors. The con's, this place is basically a small upgraded dollar theater. The pro's are the low prices and nice seats.
