Corporate Correctness in Utah
Ticket takers ordered to politick:
The Salt Lake Tribune, 7/7/2004:
Moviegoers at the Jordan Landing Cinemark movies in West Jordan received a unique greeting Monday from the ticket taker if they purchased tickets to "Fahrenheit 9/11."
To each patron, he called out: "Vote for Bush." When queried, he said he was following instructions from management.
Terrell Falk, marketing vice president for Cinemark, based in Plano, Texas, was surprised by the news and said lobbying customers for Bush was not a company policy. She was still trying to get through to the West Jordan complex as of late Tuesday to find out what they were thinking.
