Where am I?

A dark crowded room. Cover charge. Entertainment. Drinks from $4-6.&nbsp; Snacks from $5-8.&nbsp; Noisy,&nbsp; people talking, some not paying attention to the entertainment.&nbsp; Young adults clusted together. Employees standing around, not paying any attention to the customers.&nbsp; Security standing guard to make sure no one does anything wrong.&nbsp; <br /> <br /> Must be a strip club you say..... nope<br /> <br /> Dance/Nightclub....&nbsp; wrong again<br /> <br /> Local coffeehouse.... strike three!<br /> <br /> Hard to believe, but this was the scene at a major chain movie theater this past weekend.&nbsp; I hadn't been to a real movie theater in a while.&nbsp; With On-Demand, Blockbuster and Netflix, there really is no need.&nbsp; But we did and boy what shock.&nbsp; Tickets to get in $9.50.&nbsp; Small Coke $4.00, Small Popcorn $5.00, Bag of Twizzlers $3.75.&nbsp; I passed on the snacks.&nbsp; What a friggin ripoff!!!!&nbsp; The theater was dirty, People sat talking loudly to each other or into their cell phones.&nbsp; Groups of teens, both boys and girls, acted like they were the only ones in the room.&nbsp; Theater employees standing around like zombies, just doing the minimum to keep their jobs. Rent-a-cop standing at customer service looking important and sticking his nose into other people's business.&nbsp; <br /> <br /> Cost of the evening for us was $25.&nbsp; Not sure how young couples with little kids do it.&nbsp; Lady in front of us in line said she was paying a babysitter $10 per hour to watch her kids while she and her hubby were watching a movie.&nbsp; Add in the large popcorn and drink and it was a $65 evening for them.&nbsp; <br /> <br /> Decided to call the home office of the theater chain to express my displeasure with the entire experience.&nbsp; LOL!!!&nbsp; They had absolutely no interest in hearing my complaints.&nbsp; I got the usual &quot;We'll pass you comments along to management&quot; and &quot;We are a business&quot; comments.&nbsp; Same old crap.&nbsp; <br /> <br /> Looks like it will be a long time before I see a movie on a big screen again.&nbsp; <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
