This is the only movie theater I have ever been thrown out of in my life. My family and I went to the Carmike Theater on Lorna Rd, the $1.50 theater, but there were no seats available for our movie after we bought the tickets and concessions. The manager gave us three free passes a result. He told us we could use them at any Carmike location. We finally decided to use them at the Summit location a few weeks ago. We went with some trepidation because we were not completely confident we could use the passes from the $1.50 theater at a first run theater. When we went to get our tickets and popcorn from the concession counter the girl there said we couldn't use them there because we had only paid $1.50 initially.
We explained how we had come to have them and that the Lorna Rd Mgr had assured us that we could use them at any location. With an attitude and great reluctance she agreed to, "make an exception."After finding our seats, my wife expressed her displeasure at the attitude of the concessions girl/manager. So I went back to complain and that's when things got stupid. I went back and told this Asst Mgr that she had been rude to my wife and I and my wife was upset about it. She turned and walked away from me without a word. Like I said, rude. This apparently was to get someone to relieve her so that she could speak with me away from the concession counter but she didn't tell me that however. She had just turned her back to me and walked away. So it seemed she was being even more rude to me than before.The mgr came back and we stepped to the side and she tells me she was not rude to us Seriously? Isn't that a matter of perspective? All I was looking for from her was a small apology. Before we could finish talking the A nasty little fat woman came over with these two men and interjected themselves into the conversation.
I kept asking her why I was even talking to her, it was none of her business. The employee/assistent manager should have asked her to move along but she allowed them to continue complicating the situation. At one point the fat woman's man asked me if I wanted to step outside. When I was speaking to the girl/mgr I was not yelling, as I would later be acused of, but I certainly used a stern voice and my displeasure was, I'm sure, quite apparent. When I could address the girl/mgr between the interruptions of yelling by the little fat lady, she was not at all aopolgitic. In fact, she tells me I have to leave. Because I tell you that you were rude to my family I have to leave? You couldn't just give me an apology for your behavior?" I explicitly told the girl I was not looking for any kind of compensation, just an apology. She said she hadn't done anything wrong to apologize for.So the theater calls the police because I said I wasn't leaving because I had come to watch a movie. When the police arrive, which was completely unnecessary, they tell me I have to leave.
I am shocked to say the least. They point out, correctly so, that they don't make judgements but they are there to execute the businesses right to serve whom the please. I do understand that so I left. There was no time during this ordeal that this girl/mgr felt threatened. She never claimed to be. She did claim I was yelling at her but this is not the case at all. I yell at ball games or when I see someone about to get run over by a car. This day however I did not yell. Was that obvious in my tone? This was probably her perception becsuse she wasn't in her "Safe Zone". I have been a manager for many years myself. This manager is more incompetent than most and that is a high bar to get over. She handled the situation in the worse way possible. All she needed to do was to offer some form of an apology, but instead, i dont want to ever enter another Carmike Theater.GO TO A DIFFERENT THEATER!ShareFlag12/16/2012the staff are great and very h...the staff are great and very helpful and friendly .
the management are visible and ready to solve any problems that might come up. it is very clean and good deals on drinks and popcorn. the seating is confortable and sound is good. also a good location.ShareFlag08/19/2010Provided by Citysearch - AWFUL experienceI took my three nephews and my neice to see Toy Story 3 3D. It was 55.00 just to get in to a matinee. I actually timed the commercials. There were just a few previews but the commercials were ENDLESS. The movie was supposed to start at 12:40 and did not start until 1:11. That was 31 minutes of commercials and previews!! How awful when you have four kids waiting to see a movie. That did not even include the commercials you have to watch BEFORE the start time of the movie. I won't be going back.Flag07/22/2010Provided by Citysearch - not so good$8 for the matinee? Seats too close together - no legroom. 24 minutes of previews!!! All designed to maximize profit for Carmike. Back to the Rave theaters for me. $7.50 for the matinee and TONS of legroom.
Flag10/09/2008Provided by Citysearch - InterestingThe theater clarity is amazing but it is fairly small for the high traffic area that it is in. I saw batman opening weekend and they had a 5 minute grace period in between each showing. Obviously they choose greed over cutomer experience. The movie started 45 minutes late on a saturday afternoon and they skipped over the previews and I live for previews! I have seen many top blockbusters on opening weekends and I have never experienced anything so crappy and obviously poorly run. Yes they had a showing going on every 15 minutes but you had to wait like 15 minutes in line inside the bldg for them to try an clean real qucik then 30 mnutes of just sitting in there for what ever reason. That theater is poorly run by managment! I went last week to see blindness a movie that is not popular and for no reason at all the movie started 20 minutes late. I HAVE never been to a theater in which the movie started late!Flag10/05/2008Provided by Citysearch - Really greati went to see the premeire of eagle eye and the movie theater was very clean the popcorn was outstanding and people came in from all over to check on the patronage of everyone it will not be the last time i goFlag01/18/2008Provided by Citysearch - dirty!
The only good thing about my experience at the Summit theatre was the movie selection. The actual movie however, started 20 minutes late and only after someone from the audience brought it to the attention of the staff that it had not started on time. No one checked the theatre during the movie, you know the usual walk through of one of the employees, and the womens restroom was so nasty that it smelled of urine and had obviously not been cleaned in quite some time. I think they could do a better job.Flag11/27/2007Provided by Citysearch - niceEasy to get to, fun for the kids, i like the options, i grew up there was 1 movie option. i shop the patton while the kids watch their movieFlag03/03/2006Provided by Citysearch - User review by ilse72This was my first visit to this theatre and I was extremely disappointed. There were many teenagers present (movie was 16 Blocks) at this evening showing and they talked loudly during the beginning of the movie. I was there to see the movie...not to hear them talking or yelling to each other.
