T&T Cinema
I recently went to the Cinema to watch a double feature. I often like to arrive early to vie the previews and get a good seat. I was amazed at the service. The people act like they are doing you a favor. They do not smile, say thanks, or anything. They must be tired of the work. I always go in balcony to get away from House. Good thing too... I have never heard so much shouting, yelling and saying stupid things. I was thinking I have never heard this in a cinema abroad. How primative we look. Well, when I thought I escaped, right behind me was two couples, at various times during the movie their cell phone beeped and did they turn it off? Noooo... they started to talk loud like if they were home. I could not believe it. Just before intermission I went to get some junk food. The prices are ridiculous. It is advantageous that they do not allow you to bring in your own drinks and food, but they also want to charge you an arm and a leg! Lastly, most people like to go to the cinema to get away from ads... like on TV, but not so, I sat through at least 10 minutes of ads that I would normally see on TV! What are your thoughts about cinema here?

Well I sypathise with you but that's what you get for getting the opportunity of enjoying a double feature but don't worry the same is said for employees in the UK and the USA, people are people,some try their darndest to be cheerful for the job but others like to keep it Real, ent?!
Just be glad that there still is a double feature in Trinidad,it's not the case for other places.

I understand what you are trying to say, but allow me to disagree. I think your sympathy with the double feature does not condone the 'lack of feeling' have towards one another. Trinidadians always try to rationalize. If I am paying for a double feature does not mean that people around me have to be in considerate. Because 1,000,000 people do something does not make it right. Interestingly enough, I went to the cinema today and there was not as much noise as the last time, but in the beginning there was a group of people in house that were so loud that even though I was in balcony I thought they were right behind me.

I undersatnd what you are trying to say Jb and I think You just may have a point there as LDS said 'you are paying for it.',Yes it is a service being rendered and the bahaviour of the employees should be consumer friendly one.However, my symapthy was directed at the individuals mention of arriving early and the adverts he ahd to endure, I guess the trick is to have knowlegde and forsight, of the bahaviour attributed with the various sections, and this would detrmine whether you are going to be entertained or discouraged.Correct?

Very true, hence I do not venture out much in Trinidad, but then again that is the purpose of this forum to voice small opinions that hopefully change a few heart and minds so we can see what the country really is...

JB people will think we are anti-Trinidad LOL but I know I cannot voice out too much since I'm only a resident but there are serious issues people wants to talk about and I love to have the forum for this reason 
I like Trinidad, if I didn't like it at all, I would not be living here period, I just have issues that I would love to see resolved, you know, to make a better Trinidad and Tobago.
