From my wife, because it's true and I couldn't have said it better...
"Make sure you bring cash when you go to Pinecrest Theatre.
If not your husband might have to drive away to find an ATM and then your one kid who wasn't paid for will be repeatedly harassed due to lack of green sticker and told to leave (the place was half full so we weren't taking up someone else's space) and they will LEGIT act like you're a criminal because you-should-have-known and when you explain you didn't realize they were cash only and ran out of cash and needed more cash and your husband left to get said cash the guy will ask "doesn't your husband know the general store is open?" (it was closed). You'll say I don't know and I can't call him because #NOservice. You'll proceed to explain that you're not trying to scam a ticket you're asking them to simply WAIT for the $7.50 needed for the child's admission. And you'll apparently have to explain that your son can't sit outside alone, in the dark, in the forest waiting while the movie plays.
Then if you walk away, now in tears because #pregnancy, and try to appeal to the "ticket lady" saying how this place *should* be different---because it's an outdoor mountain theatre with no doors/walls, #wearelocals (our county has like 1200 people in it ) and we're all friends and neighbors here---Shouldn't be a deal to let a kid sit on a bench for a few.
Then she'll be condescending and try to explain how movie theatres work. She'll tell you this is a real theater and question why it's taking so long for your husband to return (which will send ur pregnant mind into a tail spin of worry). Then You'll think "wait don't real theatres have walls, doors, comfy seats and accept some form of electronic payment?" Then you'll ask for your money back and she'll keep trying to explain things to your teary pregnant face. Then you'll be like wish my friend Shannon Duston-Rimmer's daughter was working cause she'd probably help. Then they'll be like oh you know them?! Neat! And she'll still not give the money back or try to be kind or helpful.
So you'll walk away.
Then you'll all have to leave. And sit in the dark on the ground waiting for hubs with your kids who are like
Then he'll come back and go to the ticket lady to get a refund and she'll explain how she knows his wife is upset but that "Disney is really strict"
What does that even mean? They've got a secret agent watching the theatre?
No lady, pretty sure Disney woulda spotted the $7.50. Because they want us to actually WATCH the movies while receiving their subtle programming and advertising messages throughout. They also PROLLY want families to enjoy amazing cross generational films together #justsaying
Then your whole family will be like "wow it's not so fun to come here"
Thanks Pinecrest Theatre.
