Resolved: Volume in Theaters

AI Highlights
  • - Harkin theater sound is loud, including trailers.
  • - My wife has an aneurysm and is sensitive to noise.
  • - We may switch to another theater chain.
Updated by user Jul 11, 2023

Company resolved the issue.

Original review Jun 11, 2023
We go to your Harkin theater quite often here in Arizona and find the sound volume of the movies to be excessive. However it wasn't till this point that we saw the new transformer movie that the volume overwelmed us and we left the movie having only watched maybe 25% of it.

Even the trailers this day were pumped up way to high and it should have been our first clue.

My wife always wears ear plugs to movies as she has had an aneurysm which makes her quite sensitive to sound and this transformer movie which we expected to be loud was rediculously loud and for young kids it was way over the decible level for sound to damage their ears as well as ours. Perhaps we need to go to another theater chain for our movies.
Loss:
$17

Preferred solution: Have the theater control the volume of their movies

User's recommendation: Take Earplugs and don't let your kids go to movies where the volume will unneccessisaraly hurt their ears

Formal complaint

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Contacted the company first

The reviewer tried to contact the company before posting this review.

AI Highlights
  • - The manager, Robert Wrench, caused a long wait during the token exchange.
  • - The reviewer will not return to Harkins theaters.

I had a very unpleasant experience with a manager at the Harkin theater bricktown Oklahoma city location. His name is Robert Wrench.

He deliberately wasted my families time by making us wait for the tokens we purchased while he was filling out paperwork pertaining to the exchange due to faulty token machines. He did not need my info and when I asked if I could please hand the tokens so my son could go play he told me no, that I could wait until he was done and then he would gather the tokens and give then to me. He made a 2 minute exchange for tokens turn into a 15+ mintue waiting game. Deliberately Wasting a customers time is one of the most disgusting acts an employee of any establishment can do.

He should fired for his incompetence.

I don't know why any business would want some like that working for them. We will never go back to any harkins .

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: Do not recommend/ rude staff

AI Highlights
  • - Couldnt find a voucher for 2023 loyalty cup.
  • - Spoke with an Arizona senior manager who was helpful and said the voucher may be in the gift-card scan.

Couldnt find a voucher for the 2023 loyalty cup. Called the customer service number in Arizona.

Got transferred to the senior manager who was very nice and helpful.

He said the voucher was probably located in the scan for the gift card. I will go to a local Harkins (again) and have them scan it and see.

Pros:
  • Many choices of movies
Cons:
  • Expensive

Preferred solution: Loyalty cup for 2023

User's recommendation: If a local Harkins is not able to help contact customer service
