Should make him District Booth Certifier then - and he can earn some extra fat on the side of every booth person that he certifies each through all four levels.  |  IP: Logged Charles Greenlee Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 801 From: Savannah, Ga, U.S. Registered: Jun 2006 posted 01-07-2007 04:05 AM                        quote: Monte L Fullmer ..is Charles trying to make his REG one of the better REG's in the circuit? I wish. I'm afraid that's alot more than I can chew. I'll stick to making sure the presentation is the best I can make it. Not much I can do about everything else, such as lobby decor, except annoy the GM till she does something, if she can.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-14-2007 06:45 PM                        I had a look at this again today. I gotta admit it looks a LOT better now. The "Regal Entertainment Group" text is almost in the background, surrounded by patterns of very bold colors (I sound like an interior decorator) and a large orange/red neon "Concessions" sign. It's movie-theatre garish but it looks ok. Looks nothing at all like the Alhambra Renaissance 14.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-28-2007 08:23 PM                        Here's a crappy snapshot of how the lobby sorta looks:  |  IP: Logged Jesse Skeen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1517 From: Sacramento, CA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 01-29-2007 04:44 PM                     They oughta sell ad space on some of those walls  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 01-29-2007 09:33 PM                    Why do you need a big sign that says concessions on it. I mean come on people should know that is the concession stand. All that does is create something that can breakdown and look like shit when it is not working properly.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-29-2007 09:59 PM                        I wonder why they didn't go with "Snacks" or "Snack Bar" or something.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-29-2007 10:01 PM                        quote: Darryl Spicer Why do you need a big sign that says concessions on it.

It doesn't make me think "movies." I'm thinking of something more like "can I order a chicken fried steak with my popcorn?" It definitely gives off a Cracker Barrel Restaurant kind of vibe, but in a more cheesy way.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-30-2007 01:07 AM                        quote: Bobby Henderson That "concessions" wall design looks pretty harsh, even toxic. It'll "date" fast, for sure, if it isn't "dated" already. I have always thought that Cretors' one dumb feature on their popcorn machines was the big sign saying POPCORN. Duh; you can see it, smell it, and hear it being popped, so why not just put a cool looking red top on the machine like Manley used to do? quote: David Stambaugh I wonder why they didn't go with "Snacks" or "Snack Bar" or something. The way things are these days, I'm surprised it doesn't say CONCESSION'S.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-30-2007 09:26 AM                        quote: Mike Blakesley The way things are these days, I'm surprised it doesn't say CONCESSION'S. lol. Very true, unfortunately.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 01-30-2007 12:29 PM                     Something like "concession's" would very likely appear if every sign company caved to deliberate grammatical errors when requested. Some people actual do ask to have apostrophes and other crap stuck in where it doesn't belong just to be different. Usually it takes someone with a little backbone to tell the customer how stupid it will look to most people. Granted, you have to phrase the comments carefully, but out of professional responsibility the customer really needs to know the truth.  |  IP: Logged Charles Greenlee Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 801 From: Savannah, Ga, U.S. Registered: Jun 2006 posted 02-07-2007 11:32 PM                        quote: Eric Hooper I was more talkin' from a patron's POV... Yeah,there's only so much the lower managment can do. We try our best here, and do get compliments, but I know there's room for improvment. Like I said, even from a patron's standpoint, there are worse, and probably better. Poeple compliment us on our service far more than "Your theatre across town", the 10-plex, which is by far newer. So I can take pride that even if the company sucks, at least we aren't the worst of the worst, not that the 10 is the worst.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 02-18-2007 07:46 PM                        Here's another poor-quality snapshot of the finished lobby: Presumably the folding tables & chairs are for interviewing new staff or training or something. I'll submit a few more pics of the interior mall marquee and the exterior to CinemaTour.  |  IP: Logged Andrew McCrea Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 645 From: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Registered: Nov 2000 posted 02-18-2007 10:15 PM                        It already looks dated.  |  IP: Logged
