Ahhhhh, social media, you either love it or hate it.

But one thing you can’t deny, for sure, is that it’s a great tool to get an immediate response from a business or in other cases, receive freebies. May that be in the form of a giveaway, a complaint tended to OR those Twitter retweet requests- there ain’t no shame in the game.

And clearly Lovin’s not alone on this notion…

To which the theatre humbly but subtly rejected…

It would be a nice thing to hear, but no. You can’t get 2 GOLD by Rhodes tickets for saying we’re the best. 😂

We still love you, though! Maybe one day you can.
