Movie Theater Fail

norabombayI went to the Northbrook AMC 14 tonight, in a suburb of Chicago.
What they didn't mention: It's a three/four story theater. Two large flights of steps from the level where you get tickets to the level where many of the theaters are.
And all the directions anyone gave were to walk up the steps.
It turns out there was an elevator in the facility- it was unmarked, painted to match the walls and generally hidden. No one was going to any effort to tell people it existed. You apparently had to know about it in advance.
But without this knowledge? Enjoy walking up several flights of stairs while being overcome by a herd of five year olds who were attending a birthday party there.
The entire problem could have been solved with $5 of signage and a bit of training of staff.
Crossed off my list.
