and here's why. I went on a dinner and movie date last night. My date suggested we see the new Sara Jessica Parker movie which would have propably sucked but the other movies (Moneyball) were sold out. So we're say maybe #25 in the line to buy tickets and the ticket line is barely moving at all and it's 8:50pm and the movie starts at 9:00pm. Well, the ticket salespeople are talking about something called stubs to every person buying a ticket and it goes like this. "Would you like to buy a Stubs Card , it's $20.00 and it will upgrade your popcorn and/or drink for free, we can bill your credit card a $1.00 a month and you can save a lot and it's a really good deal. Then the people would say "Okay, now what does it do now?" and they would repeat it again and again. So it would take an extra 8 to 15 minutes for every person in line and you heard the same speech over and over again! So it was obvious we were not going to get in the movie in 10 minutes.
So my date says, "Why don't we go to the bar down the street and get drunk instead?" and I said "Yay! But I have to go to the bathroom first!" So, as I passed the the long line at the consessions on my way to the bathroom, I could hear the popcorn sellers giving the same speech trying to sell the Stubbs Card!!
So not only do you have the hear the speech trying to buy a ticket over and over again, you have to hear it buying your popcorn, over and over again! Wow, I couldn't wait to get out of there! This makes me not want to go to the movies, at least the AMC theaters and this is what I think about the Stubs Card and why you shouldn't buy it.
IT'S A SCAM!!!!! Prices for consessions are ridiculous as it is and they want you to pay more money before you even get to the consession stand! Screw them! I am not going to AMC Theaters ever again and AMC is the only theater we have in my town. It would be nice if we had a Grand Theater. So, all is well that ends well. I got sloppy drunk and made out with my Chris Farley look alike date at the cheap bar. I like him a lot and we're going out next Saturday!
DON'T BUY THE STUBS CARD IF YOU HAVE IT IN YOUR TOWN, IT'S A SCAM! You don't have to buy it!
Honestly, I think they are trying to collect money from their losses due to the bad economy which is way not the way to go. It's just bad business.
