Too Many Discounts

We've been having a big discussion in our theatre about discounts. When is the best time to use them, when not to use them, are they worth it, are the better ways to go about doing something. So many questions.

Personally I am frustrated by discounts. For some very strange reason, people who use discounts get very entitled. Like we owe them something for some reason because they were special enough to recieve a discount. Why is that? Obviously we've given you a discount, what more do you want.

We've been using one particular coupon where you get $5 off. Now yes, we don't say you get $5 off a regularly priced ticket, I understand that, but you can't use the coupon on a senior or student tickets. Those are already discounted tickets. Basically you are asking for a discount on a discount. And just FYI, the $5 off tickets is cheaper then the student or senior tickets. So take it and enjoy it!

I've never tried to use the two together, I don't understand why you would. I usually just figure out which is the best deal and take it.

Now I understand that economy is bad and times are hard, and if that is your excuse I have one question to ask you. Do you understand that the economy is bad and times are hard? You want to save money and we still have to make it, so shouldn't we meet in the middle? Think about it!

See, now I feel like I am griping too much and boring you with my complaints. So I've decided to offer you a discount. (I know, I know!) I have negotiated a deal with my fellow Lobby Vixen's at the Aurora Fox, where I will be seeing Fully Committed later on this weekend. If you use the code word "Lobby Vixen," you will recieve a free drink from concessions. And that includes anything, water, soda, beer, wine and even their drink special for the show "Sam's White Christmas Dream," which I suggest, I got to taste test it the other night and it really is a dream!

Enjoy!
