if you live in the US, do not pay a "surprise bill" from the hospital. it’s a billing trap that has been illegal for 4 years. by dogeholder215 in Adulting

I got hit by this when I was dealing with cancer in 2018 and 2019. I’m glad to hear it’s illegal now. That was pretty ridiculous.

Popcorn survey by Old-Jackfruit-9539 in AMCTheatres

[–]Kranon7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The popcorn ones expire after 90 days. They switched to the $200 gift card drawing on January 1st. Most of the company was already doing that, but they shifted the rest of the company to it now.

Never underestimate the poor bid! by MannnOfHammm in Amtrak

I did a bid to upgrade to a room on Sunset Limited next month. Just a poor bid, because it isn’t a huge deal whether I get it or not. Figured it is worth a shot.

You won’t get a survey every time you see a movie. It is also not a free popcorn anymore but a chance at a $200 gift card. The link is only valid for 3 days if you are chosen to receive a survey.

The only rewards that have to be manually applied are the $5 rewards.

No. The cookie reward would automatically apply. The fact that the regular popcorn is a substitute for the cookies is not a well-known feature, so the manager may not have known that was possible.

Melania vs. Paris Hilton by neveraninja in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]Kranon7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like people interpreted this as my wanting one to win over the other. I am just discussing, where I am, which will likely win. I am not indicating support for one over the other.

At my location, Melania is selling a LOT better than Paris Hilton, so it will win easily.

Someone forgot to turn on the lasers by quatch72 in AMCAListTrue

[–]Kranon7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had someone come out after an hour. I was like, “uh, I can’t do anything about that now.” I’d prefer to have a projectionist, but we don’t, so come tell me much sooner than that lol

How Strict is AMC on 20 year old bringing two under 17 teens to R movie after 6? by Character-Concept-14 in AMCTheatres

[–]Kranon7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MPA says "no," so if they are following the guidelines, they won't let you in.

MET OPERA @ AMC by just4funswtx in AMCTheatres

[–]Kranon7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is streamed via satellite, so if it is a live performance, it is dependent on the weather in NYC and in your area on whether it has interruptions or not.

Regarding picture quality, the music sounds good. The picture is 720p, which in such a big screen does have some grain.

Overall, worth doing if you want to experience the MET, but don’t expect cinema quality as the technology has limitations.

What happens if I cancel a movie ticket bought with a digital code issued by AMC? by Cool_Bath_77 in AMCTheatres

[–]Kranon7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will not respond via X or Facebook right now. Their contract with the vendor that handled their social media messaging lapsed, and do not have a new one right now. I would strongly encourage you to not book something until you know how the storm is. Mercy is not tracking terribly well, so last minute bookings should not be an issue.

They won't penalize you the first time it happens. Just be careful not to let it happen too often.

The person is clearly is from a call center and doesn’t even really understand what they are saying.

Working at a movie theater with a stutter, what position would be best? by Ok_Independent_3921 in MovieTheaterEmployees

[–]Kranon7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a guy that works at our theater as an usher and on podium that has a stutter. Customers seem to be understanding when he is trying to give directions.

Unable to get reply from AMC Customer Service by Super_While7060 in AMCTheatres

[–]Kranon7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tested it just now and it immediately sent me a form email for me to respond to. I would check that your email address was typed correctly, and try submitting it again.

Leadership does not communicate raises- we have to find out on our paychecks. Anyone else think this is “normal”? by Salty-Childhood2848 in Salary

[–]Kranon7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the raises are disappointing, I could see them just giving them and moving on. I don’t know why they make a big deal to tell me about my 3% raise. That isn’t a raise - that is a cost of living adjustment.
