What's more important to you at movie theatre, speed or "service"?

[Free4Life11]

Ok the scenario is you're at the movie theatre on a busy Friday night standing in line for concessions. What's more important to you, a cashier who is friendly but slow in getting your order (and as a result the line moves slower) or a cashier who is indifferent but very fast in getting your order (and as a result the line moves faster.)

Also when I say indifferent I mean someone who is emotionless, not happy smiley sunshine, but not rude. Just in between I guess.

I'll say that at a movie theatre, all I want is speed. I don't necessarily care if someone is smiling at me, asking me what movie I want to see, etc. All I want is my pop and popcorn as fast as possible.

speed. I could care less if they want to be my friend. Just get my order right, and I'll be polite.

Speed. I just don't want to miss the beginning of the movie.

Fast- just give me my stuff and let me find my seat.

For the record, I am in the indifferent cashier. Although, I have been known to crack a smile before...I am fast though, mainly because I know how much *I* hate to wait in line. Last night a customer asked me college major and then gave me his business card and said "you seem efficient, give me a call."

I think it's possible to be fast and friendly- smiles don't take long! I worked as a cashier for a long time! Always fast- always efficient, and not gonna lie- not always friendly , BUT, usually!!

That said- I hate to wait in line and I am not there to make new friends, so- GET MY POPCORN AND COKE QUICK!!

Speed. At my theater (a Carmike Cinema) the workers are as slow as molases! There always seems to be plenty of them standing around doing nothing and only 1 person at each concession stand(this is a 15 screen multiplex). Plus I think they should have a sperate ticket booth for people who want to pay with cash becuase it takes forever if someone uses a CC there. I realize all I'm missing is the 20-25 minutes of commericals and previews that happen before the show, but I want to get a decent seat and not stumble up the stairs in the dark.

Speed. As a matter of fact, that goes for McDonald's, Wal-Mart, and the DMV.

I am sorry I am for Service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate a horrible rude person helping me.
And speed is not the goal for me thats why I always get to the show 40 to 30 mins before the show starts!!

Speed. If I have to miss the beginning of the movie, I am annoyed and it wont matter if the cashier is friendly. And I get to the movies early, but I wont be arriving an hour early to wait in a long line.
