Went with the missus to see Indiana Jones.

What a worthless pile of elephant shit.

The first 10 minutes of the movie had both of us thinking that it *MUST* have been some sort of dream sequence or Prof. Jones doing a movie about his exploits or some such.

No... it was actually part of the movie.

Dialog was terrible, every cliche you have ever heard of is used in the film, the CGI was BLEH, and the script must have been originally written as fan fucking fiction.

After the movie, I went to the counter and asked for my money back.... got it too.

We stayed only because we thought that there was no possible way a movie by Lucas, Spielberg, and Ford would suck that hard. We were WRONG.

So you went and demanded your money back for a service you recieved?

It doesn't matter if the movie was fantastic or terrible, you viewed it, it's kind of out of line to demand your money back...

haha....check out the Indiana Jones thread in the Media section. Im sure most of your problems with the film we have discussed already.


Your right though...most of it was a disappointment.

Most theaters will allow a refund or credit within 30 minutes but you watched the entire thing. The theater owed you nothing. They are not responsible for how crappy the movie was.

I disagree. I have never before asked for a refund after viewing a movie. Had it been anyone else other than Lucas, Spielberg, and Ford... we would have walked out in the first 15 minutes.

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

And had they said no... I would not have been angry with them. BUT, they provided me with good customer service and I will be sure to continue attending their theater at a higher price than I would pay for the other theater in town. Why? Better sound, better service, and better concessions... even if I have to pay $3.50 more per ticket.

Because it isn't the theatre's fault the movie didn't live up to your expectations. It wasn't as if you went to a community theatre house and watched a shitty play, and demanded your money back. The theatre just facilitates the viewing of the movie.

They have no say if it's going to be a blockbuster or a bust.

You should have figured out by the time the movie was half over that it was going to be a huge disappointment.

If I had been the manager, I would have lughed when you asked for the refund and kicked your dumb ass out of my theatre.

Again... had they said no, I would have been fine with that too. Never hurts to ask.

But they did... and because of that I will continue to watch movies at their theater.

Really? I'll give you an "A" in the balls department. I'm surprised they went for it.

Part of my problem with the issue we're discussing is I think management in most larger companies are far too soft nowadays.

Like when I worked at Home Depot, our manager always tried to right wrong's that weren't their problem. A customer would order a pallet of ceramic tile, and we'd tell them it would be at the store in like 3-5 days, then we'd call them repeatedly and leave messages telling them their tile was in.

After they'd let the tile they purchased sit in the back room for a month or in some cases nearly six months, they'd come in and finally demand their tile after numerous phone calls. And given that the back room wasn't to be used as storage, and the customer was informed prompt pick-up was expected, the tile might get moved around and messed up a bit.

Then the customer would bitch and bitch about 3 broken tiles on a pallet with 25 boxes. And our weak management would give them a refund for the broken tile, and sometimes shave a percentage off of the entire sale for their "troubles".

Sometimes the customer isn't always right.

you didnt really ask for the money back did you? Watching a movie and returning something physical, like a GPS...is something entirely different. At least the store can resell it.

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.
