Author Topic: "Expressing our appreciation" Frank Cox Film God Posts: 2234 From: Melville Saskatchewan Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 06-09-2016 09:45 PM                        Well, this is a first. Semi-regular customers (couple) came to the show tonight and on the way in she handed me an envelope stating, "We would just like to express our appreciation to you for having this theatre here." I was a bit non-plussed but said, "Thank you" and took the envelope and put it under my counter. I just opened the envelope expecting to see a thank you note or something. Instead, it's a gift certificate to cover a meal at the restaurant down the street for me and my wife. We go there every couple of weeks and always order the same thing -- since this gift certificate is for the exact amount of that bill I guess these folks must have asked the restaurant people what we order when we're there. I'll have to remember to give them their popcorn and drink order for free the next time they come to the show...  |  IP: Logged Alan Plester Expert Film Handler Posts: 209 From: great yarmouth england Registered: Apr 2001 posted 06-10-2016 01:37 AM                     returns your faith in human kindness, doesn't it.  |  IP: Logged Rick Raskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1100 From: Manassas Virginia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 06-10-2016 08:12 AM                     There are benefits to life in a small town.  |  IP: Logged Geoff Jones Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 579 From: Broomfield, CO, USA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 06-10-2016 08:16 AM                        1) Awesome story - it's good to hear about the good things out there. 2) Order something different next time!
