Pacific Theatres Hastings 8

The Pacific at the Paseo used to be really good when they first opened. They even served Pinks chili dogs, which was reason enough for us to go.
But they have slipped greatly. The hot dogs are now the generic kind, and even at weekend matinees they are all sold out ("we're told to make on 4-5 at a time", said one employee.

If theatres are losing money, why are the snack choices so limited?

And thge kids they hire move in s-l-o-w motion.

The soft drink and condiment stand is usually a mess. I hate jalapeno peppers, but even worse is finding them mixed in with the hot dog relish.
Ugh!It's just giant labels scoops and open vats, which I'm sure violates some kind of health dept. standard.

The soft drink dispensers are usually out of ise, and some of the drinks taste like they are being mixed by 2 years olds behind the walls.

If you can get past all of this, the picture quality and sound are quite good.

PROS: Location, Picture, Sound
CONS: Really bad service, lousy snacks
