Priya B Review of 5 Drive In
The drive in itself was good, even though it raine...
The drive in itself was good, even though it rained we were still able to enjoy the movies. Walked over to the diner during intermission to grab some food; great selection of hot food and snacks/candies. Bathrooms were also clean for the most part. Could use better signage for where things are as there are 2 sides to the theatre with different amenities.
If it wasn't for the poor customer service; I'd rate the drive-in 4.5 stars.
About 1 hour into the first movie the car battery died and we weren't able to hear the movie. Naturally, we called the main phone line for the drive in hoping they could offer a solution (portable radio/radio app or jumpstart). We spoke with Cora; who was cold and rude about the whole thing; she told us to wait until the end of the movie for a jump or we can call a tow truck but they won't be let in until the end of the movie either as it would disturb the other viewers.
She then hung up while I was asking a question about this. So we called back and asked if we'd get anything back for the first movie; she just kept rudely repeating, and even laughed between her words, that we'd have to wait and our ticket is non-refundable. Honestly, had she just apologized for the inconvenience or offered us something while we waited, we wouldn't have been as upset. But we were expected to sit and watch the movie with no sound for the remaining hour and a half? Ridiculous.
So we took it upon ourselves to go out in the cold rain and ask the car next to us for a boost. Luckily, they were kind enough to help us out and miss a few minutes of the movie themselves.
The funny part is; about a half hour into the second movie, we saw 2 guys walking around with jumper cables looking for our car and 10 minutes after that, a tow truck rolled through looking for someone who had called for a boost. They drove through the entire lot with their high beams on blinding everyone watching. We thought they wouldn't be allowed in during the movie?
