Is anybody there?

Does anybody work any more? It seems that every time I have to call somebody for information and have a contact number, they are never there. If I leave a message, nine times out of ten nobody will call me back. We are told these are tough economic times, but it appears that nobody is eager to make a sale or contact.Today I had to call Paragon Theatres in Coconut Grove to find out when they are showing their limited engagement opera programs and to encourage them to promote the events to generate more sales since there was no advance publicity for their recent showing of Company. All for nought since the manager was not there. Surprising since these are very elegant and expensive theaters located in the very site where AMC theaters failed. You would think to avoid the same fate (especially considering their ticket price is a high $11.00) they would be eager to meet the needs of a movie-going public. Yet this is only one incident of a company that doesn't seem to want to turn a profit. I've had the same problem with optometrists, physicians, repair shops, restaurants and any number of other supposed businesses.
