What happened to the ticket booths at the movie theater? You know, the ones where you pay your money to a cashier and get your ticket? You tell the person behind the window you want to see Such-and-Such movie. And you know the ticket-seller thinks you’re waaay younger than you are, but ‘looks can be deceiving’ and you insist you get the senior discount just the same? What happened to those ticket booth persons?
I didn’t see a ticket booth anywhere last night when entering the movie theater. Instead a bank of computers, lit up in colorful futuristic lights, called out to moviegoers. It appears, you not only tell the computer what movie you want, but where you want to sit. You stick a debit card in the machine and a ticket comes out with very faint lettering notifying of your seat number and row.
