And while that is possibly true... this is the first time I have ever asked for a refund at a theater.

Most people know when they're manipulating situations though. I understand your premise, but I don't think it changes intent.

Plus it's never useful for more than 3 minutes at a time.

Damn!!! that buys a nice meal at Timberline.

I can't believe they gave you your money back. As stated by others, it's not their fault the movie sucked. The fact that you watched the whole thing is just icing on the cake.

Not a good move on your part.

Yeah, I can't even imagine asking for my money back after I watched a movie and it sucked. I should have asked for my money back for those stupid Harry Potter movies. I would just feel like a piece of trash if I made a raucus because I sat through a film that I didn't like. Maybe I'm just too nice but movies are all subjective. I think Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings movies are the worst movies I have seen in my life, but alot of people like them. To each their own

But they cant warp the movie out of your mind. You paid to watch the movie...the sale is done.

It's like the fatboy asking for his money back after eating the entire meal, he didnt eat have to eat the whole thing.

This reminds me of customer I had when I waited tables at Red Lobster while I was in college. It was all you can eat snow crab night. This fat ass comes in and eats 6lbs of snow crabs. When I bring the check to him, he demands to see the manager. So, I get the manager and he complains that these were the worst snow crabs he's ever eaten and demands his $16.99 back. The manager pretty much laughed in his face and told him that if there was a problem, that he should have complained earlier.

There's more than one way to steal from a business without actually thieving.:shake:

Agreed, now if someone would have walked out of the movie 15 minutes into it I say that is fine to get your money back, but after watching the WHOLE movie...I just think thats kind of cheap if you ask me...just like the snow crabs that you stated above. If it was so bad....why did you go for the whole thing. I've had simular issues at my job as well.

I was entertained by the movie. Then again I am not from the school of thought that says you must be overly critical of hit movies to be cool. JMHO.

Cabbot (available at Lowes) is the most durable on the market according to Consumer Reports.

If I am not satisfied with the product presented, why in the hell should I not get my money back?

Because you consumed it entirely. There is nothing remaining to refund against.

The kind of funny aspect to this whole thing is that he didn't really get his money back. If he'd have gotten the cash he paid back, he could have used that money to entertain himself some other way. But with ticket vouchers, he just has another gamble on another movie at the same theatre. I suppose management doesn't really care if you took advantage of viewing the movie, as long as you come back and drop $30 on popcorn and candy.

"Oh, you hated the movie, that's fine, feel free to come back and watch another movie, on us of course...we certainly hope you'll stop by the concession stand again, where we'll gladly rape you and your guests. $6 sound about right for a Coke? Good, that's what I thought..."

Good for them, then.

I don't know many restaurants where you can get your money back after eating the whole damned meal.

That's why I don't understand why everyone is ripping on him. I understand inferiority complexes, but at least apply them in proper areas. Like teachers ****ing students and shit like that.
