(Elaina storytelling)

Anna storytelling

(Let’s rant about Fandango, shall we? It all started with…)

Stop being so melodramatic Elaina, give me the laptop.

This is Anna here, please excuse Elaina’s sorry excuse of storytelling! (*sticks tongue out*) It started off as a normal day... we had plans to go to the movies and the mall like any other normal group of teens. So being the tech savvy duo we are, we decided to use the fandangle (Funny typo, just thought i'd make Anna leave it for your amusement, I know i’m awesome! it's supposed to be Fandango btw) movie app to buy our tickets using a $25 gift card. Casually us “being those people” sitting on the floor attempting to buy tickets on our phones to save money (Why are movie tickets so expensive now?) we realized we had less than 15 minutes to eat and get to the movies. The two of us did that gross granny speed walk (Almost running over a few senior citizens) to get to the dressing room and trying on the stuff we liked before we bought anything. We forgot to mention that to get to the movie theater we had to make our way across half of the mall and a parking lot. (We really are a smart bunch aren't we?)

Anyway, after trying things on Elaina had to get the next biggest size of her bathing suit, which they were out of, and ended up grabbing a large instead. Dashing to the checkout (we accidently cut 5 people in the self checkout) Shut up Elaina I am trying to tell the story here and ended up in the closest check out line. (That was a mistake). The guy working there had to be new, (or lazy) and there were only two people in line and the cashier was sooooo slow. Not exaggerating at all, and are movie was starting in 10 short minutes. A decade later,(and the pudgy duedes 5th gift card) we purchased our items and continued to speed walk towards the exit in the direction of the food court because we were both yet to have eaten. (I did not eat lunch)

Our genius plan was to seek food from The Noodle Company into the theater because we did it before (last time it was Subway, sure noodles are more of a challenge then a sandwich, but I had confidence in our smuggling skills), so we had our food and tickets, looked like everything was working out perfect. So we get to the movie theater, and they tell us we bought the tickets for the wrong theater (opps), and we were really looking forward to watching Captain Marvel. They tell us you can call Fandango, and they will switch the movie theater and get us the right tickets to the theater we were at (What a joke *eye roll*). We figured we had about 20 minutes because of the previews, so we gave them a call. We were put on hold, (worst music I ever heard, like it was crap) and it’s been about ten minutes.

We were getting hungry, so we went outside of the theater doors and sat down against the wall of the building and ate our noodles while still on hold. Eventually, we just gave them our number to call back. It’s now midnight and we haven’t get a call back (even tho they are probably closed now, or you know eating brownies giving our call the middle finger). Still sitting there we got tons of looks...cars were slowing down as they drove by and teenagers were looking at us weirdly as they walked past us. We didn’t care at the moment. We gave up on the movie and decided to go back to the mall because we realised we only spent a few dollars on the tickets with the gift card. A few minutes later while roaming the mall, Elaina looked on her bank account, and learned that we paid full price for the tickets without using the gift card. (I am officially broke)

There goes the,”not wasting any money mumbo jumbo”. We both had plenty of one dollar bills (I had 14 one dollar bills) after breaking change of our purchases, we went to the massage chairs (Amazing experience except for the whole cutting off the circulation to your legs bit). Stay tuned for our massage chair reviews in the future. Finally, we made our way to a little coffee shop to get our favorite drinks. While sitting there, we agreed to put a bad Fandango review online, but after ranting for a while it said it was too long (over 150 characters, really *Scoff*). So we settled for…”There is no customer service, don’t try. The waiting music could use major improvement”. We had to sign up for something and give our social security number, so we ended up not posting it, but it would of been 0 out of 5 stars for sure. Lesson learned, "make sure you buy tickets for the right movie theater." Then we decided to start this blog.
