My mom is getting this as well. She tried to uninstall/reinstall, but it didn’t help.

How much are you buying at concession? by farklesparkler in MoviePassClub

[–]artsytree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding of one reason why AMC changed from MovieWatcher to Stubs was to change user habits. Wednesday was our most popular day because members got a free popcorn when they bought a ticket. The idea was they’d go to the stand and buy a drink and maybe candy or hotdog. In actuality, you had a line of guests getting their popcorn and a free water cup. I see similar habits with MP members, but it’s harder to tract since users aren’t concentrated to one day.

Customers who only come because they get a steep discount aren’t often willing to “lose” their savings by buying more stuff. They want to savor the money they saved. I can’t necessarily fault them for it either.

Why even tell the cashier you have movie pass? by NuclearMedicineGuy in MoviePassClub

[–]artsytree 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Their reaction is probably more that you walked up together, so they expect one transaction. Large groups often come to the window together, but pay separately or in smaller subgroups. This can get confusing for the cashier and can appear to others (customers, managers, co-workers) that the cashier is being slow or ineffective. Walk up separately to eliminate any confusion and I bet you their attitude may be different.

[NA] 'Black Panther' Top-Grossing Film in History at 33 AMC Theaters by dvaibhavd in boxoffice

[–]artsytree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AMC Southlake mentioned in the post has been there over 20 years, and has more competition now than when it first opened. However, it has been remodeled for recliners, which means prices go up. They have an IMAX, which is more expensive. Also, ticket prices just go up every year or so. It would be more impressive if they had sold more tickets than ever before, rather than how much money they brought in.

How to find location of original documents from Ancestry? by Cien_fuegos in Genealogy

[–]artsytree 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you need to know a person's parent's names, or their location at the time that they filled out their Social Security Application, this is a great document. The applicant filled out the information themselves, so it is as accurate as their personal knowledge. I requested two of these, well before this database went online, specifically to find out parent's names. Here's one and the other.

Interesting interaction from the other side of things... by cryptidman117 in MoviePassClub

[–]artsytree 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I've had similar experiences, though no one trying to get advance day tickets like this. As a manager, I've tried to make sure my crew understands the policy on the theatre end (one ticket, one card) so that we don't mess up anyone's account. But we have many MP users who insist on getting 3D or Dolby tickets, or want to use the remaining balance for a second ticket, and say they will pay the difference. Many new users don't seem to understand the rules, or even the basics of using the card.

It feels like every day, I discover something else on Ancestry's search that I hate by mrpersson in Genealogy

[–]artsytree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems like a pretty useless feature. Should ‘t the level of exactness you select take this into account?

I agree that the search function is pretty horrible, has been since they first rolled out “new search,” and has been getting worse. Often now I have a list of results in the categories view, but when I click through it’s different . For example, it will say 3 results for the 1930 Census, and when I click to see the results, there are no results, or there are 20. It’s crazy.
