Re Regal movie theater, Bellingham WA

Disappointed that they would NOT cordially use my phone # to look up my member # to get the Tuesday discount ( a savings of $10). The manager just kept repeating "we DON'T DO THAT ANYMORE". she said I must either have my card, or my card number, or download the app ( & they DON'T provide free WiFi). 

I don't have my card that I received 10 years ago. And I haven't ever used my member # . I've always used my phone no problem. The manager stuck to her guns & would NOT relent. Already a few minutes late I had to spend 10 more minutes downloading the regal app.
Then reset a new password to login.
 Then fiddle around to find my member #. Finally walk back in up to a ticket seller. Wait for the people in front to buy popcorn. Finally get a ticket. Finally got into the movie.

 Then a disappointment with the Crawdads movie .. thinking it was about a girl surviving in the swamp. Not really. She lives in a house in the marsh of NC. She's NOT surviving amongst alligators etc. Yes a tough life for a kid but NOT like a female Rambo . Wasn't expecting a tender hearted love story πŸ‘Ž. Good for the ladies. Not for me.

re O'Dea High School, Seattle WA



8/22 Because a parking sign says "no parking school days" I called and asked "Ally" when does school begin & she said "staff is here... so today.." but students DON'T arrive until 8/24  . I'm sure staff can park in the parking lot , so I was put off by her lazy flippant generalization ...

 Being a visitor for a few days, a free parking spot is a nice gracious gift. She could put a little effort into being more precise, & less LAZY πŸ‘Ž

re Mike's Plum Street Automotive Olympia Lacey WA



I brought a new battery to them for installation in an urgent situation near closing time. Just traveling thru the area. Wasn't expecting a freebie but DIDN'T expect $50 fee either πŸ‘Ž. 

I figured maybe $25 would be fair at most to turn a few bolts etc. You live & learn who you can rely upon for a fair job & who u CAN'T. I've lived long enough to know this was NOT fair or honest πŸ‘Ž. 

Not sure who is the office manager ( & his wife ? ). It's NOT Mike. How u handle the small jobs leads to the big jobs & return customers. But he thinks I'm not from the area so what does it matter.

IT pays for a big meal at a fine restaurant. They're eating steak & lobster tonight at my expense. 

Most importantly- how u treat others will be how God treats u in the END. Think about that as you eat your steak πŸ–& wine🍷 tonight. Enjoy it while it lasts . 

WOULDN'T u rather it last FOREVER ? Eternal life is NOT a guarantee if u DON'T practice the faith u profess to believe. 

BTW: I think the mechanic was named Steve & he actually knew about the history of the area he lived in. I was impressed.

Re Seaside Cinema, Seaside Oregon


I actually like this old school theatre & the video arcade with a Pac-Man machine πŸ‘πŸ˜ƒ. 

However the Latino guy selling tickets called a customer 'boss' , which is a Latino code for the B word (that rhymes with itch) ...

 They make it sound respectful but they are (silently) laughing at you and insulting you when they call you 'boss'. 

And if U object they pretend it was meant to be respectful. It's passive aggressive. Every manager should be very aware of this & punish or fire employees accordingly.

Re Patmos Library Hudsonville MI



I heard about the library possibly being shut down due to LEFTY liberal employees putting suggestive books on the shelves πŸ‘Ž. The LEFTIES target libraries in conservative communities specifically with an agenda that is contrary to the values of the surrounding community. I am glad the community is waking up πŸ‘, NOT 'woking' up πŸ‘Ž
