 I saw a movie at the Metropolitan last week, which used to be one of my favorite theaters. They have some of the best stadium seating (great elevation) and sound in Austin - my pals and I specifically picked it for big movies like The Phantom Menace and X-Men. Last week, however, the stupid concession stand seriously stained their reputation. First, they give each person in line the hard sell for a popcorn/M&Ms combo, which makes the line slow! I like M&Ms anyway, so I decided to get the combo just to save time. But then they go into upsell mode and try to push the mega-bucket size on me! All that talking and attempted convincing just makes the lines longer. If they would just shut up, they would sell more because people wouldn't be put off by the crowd!
Putting pigging out on popcorn aside, I just successfully completed yet another SportBrain challenge, just under the wire! This one took 30 days, so I didn't really get in gear until after returning from Hawaii. I never would have made it without DDR! Labels: life |
