Cinemark review: Discrimination due to new bag policy

Hello I just want to warn all minorities that plan to attend this theatre that according there is a new bag policy that will prohibit you from going into the theatre. This was me and my hubbies first date night in a long time so we decided to go see the Invisible Man. We had pre paid for out tickets so I was excited. When we arrive to the ticket booth inside the guy said that he'd have to check my purse size. I said okay I didn't realize there was a bag policy for theatres. He said that he couldn't let me inside the theater due to my purse size being bigger than his clipboard. I said that my car windows are not tinted so I could put it in the car and I asked if I take out my wallet can they keep the purse with them. He said no that they couldn't do that. I said okay well can I speak to a manager and she called for the manager who was a woman. I explained what was going on and she very rudely said no that I couldn't bring a purse inside and that they follow very strict policies about the new bag polish which was just implemented on February 22, 2020. I explained that we had pre paid for our tickets and she said well they can be refunded. Hubby went over and got the refund while I told their beside him and noticed that another women with a purse similar to mine, who happened to be white, went to the ticket guy. That same manager was there and she saw me looking to see if this new movie goer was going to get the same treatment. The manager took the clipboard shrugged her shoulders and let the lady and her family inside. It was clearly bigger than the clipboard. I was dismayed, disappointed and felt so second class. Tears welled up in my eyes. I was definitely discriminated against and will be following with corporate in the morning but I wanted let anyone who frequent this theatre know. I did call the theatre manager and spoke to another manager who stated her name was Cindy and she assured that she will speak to all her employees about giving fair treatment with this new policy to everyone. Still that does not take away from the sadness I feel.
