Liberty Theatre — Local services in Camas

My wife and I visited the Liberty Theater on Saturday. We were very happy with the employees and the theater until after the film started. From that point, there were other patrons consuming alcohol and getting loud, and the employees were running back and forth through the theater entrance in order to access the snack bar.

There are also a lot of aggressive rules about not arriving late, not getting snacks in the middle of the movie etc. A smile and some customer service can go a very long way in...
