We drove from Wichita, Kansas, (2 1/2 hours) for a 24-hour Best-Picture-Oscar-Nominee marathon. We were very excited to see the films and see if we could stay awake through all of them, but my daughter started to feel ill during our drive. By the time we got to the theater she really was NOT feeling good, and we hadn't realized the event would be packed out. We barely made it and there were no seats left except two in the last row (which were being saved, tacky!) and in the very front row, where our noses were practically touching the screen. This was not going to work for us. We spoke to a manager named Carrie. She apologized for the situation, assured us that, while she couldn't interrupt the first film, she would have people move toward the center to free up any seats right afterward. She invited us to step into any theater in the plex in the meantime to watch any movie we wanted to. I thought that was very nice, and we were trying to decide what to do. My daughter was feeling quite sick and we went to the car to think things through--she hated that we had already made a scene trying to find a seat when the film had already started, we would be spending the day with this group of people and did not feel good about the whole thing. She had paid $120 for the tickets and got very upset thinking she would just rather leave but was sure we couldn't get our money back. I went back in to talk to Carrie. She was on the phone and I spoke to Heather, who was very kind and understanding, and then to Carrie when she was done taking her call. Carrie was wonderful! She understood the situation and gave us a full refund. I have worked in customer service for a good part of my life, and in my opinion she epitomized all the best qualities that make for great, memorable service. I don't write many reviews, but I thought that she went well above the call of duty in our situation. The theater's policy is not normally to refund after the film has started, which I think is reasonable, and I would have accepted that, or a partial refund, although my daughter works hard and was thrilled to have her money back. We can't attend movies there regularly, of course, since we live somewhere else, but we do make several trips a year to Kansas City and you can bet we will be back to spend our movie money at this theater rather than some other place. Carrie has earned our loyalty and I thought it would be good for locals to know what a jewel they have there. We are already looking forward to next year's Oscar event and will be arriving much earlier next time! read more
