~The Comeback of Cheap Tuesdays~
Just a quick post to give my kudos to Cineplex Odeon Canada and Telus Mobility. As most of you know, taking in a movie these days can cost us well over $20.00. On a unsuspecting Tuesday night, we made our way to Scotiabank Theatre in Vancouver to watch a movie. Wanting to use our movie coupons, I stood in line to purchase the tickets. When I got to the kiosk, the kind attendant told me that they were having a half-price special on Tuesdays – $11.45 for admission, popcorn, and a drink!!! He suggested that perhaps I would want to save my coupons for another visit and pay for the special admission. Having just finished dinner I was torn – didn’t NEED the popcorn and drink but didn’t want to give up such a good deal. Haha! Sensing my indecisiveness (or perhaps just to get the line moving) the attendant suggested I use 1 coupon and buy 1 special admission. What a novel idea! Done! We had a deal! Great customer service – nice to see personnel thinking “outside the box”!
Thanks again to Cineplex and Telus for thinking of your patrons!

I really hate it when service personnel, while having full knowledge of their products, don’t think for their customers.
One night we were trying to order pizza. Since we didn’t have a menu, I asked what is on a Super Supreme Pizza. The ingredients all seemed okay except for one, so I asked if they could use something else instead. They asked me if I wanted the pizza without that particular ingredient. Again, I asked if they could exchange the ingredient for something else.
“We can make a Super Supreme without that ingredient, but if you want something else on it, you have to pay.”
Ok, well, what other kind of pizzas do you have?
Then I heard them mention a Supreme Pizza. I asked what was on it. It was exactly the same ingredients without that particular ingredient I was asking them to remove. And it was cheaper than the Super Supreme pizza too.
So, I could get a Supreme, which is exactly what I want anyway, and pay less? Gee, why couldn’t you mention that earlier?
