Survey Questions Script
I will be taking a visit to AMC 30 on 3033 West Agua Fria Freeway. I am going to ask for one of the managers named Joey. I will then introduce myself:
Hello, I'm a student attending Deer Valley High School.
May I please speak to the manager?
I have a few survey questions I'd like to share with your company.
I will then choose two survey questions and ask them separately.
Question #1:
"In behalf of many of my peers who enjoy your theater, there was a question that sparked a lot of controversy. That is, why doesn’t your business incorporate a discount
for students?"
Question #2:
"Are you in recognition of the percentage of people who spend money on concession food alone?"

Copyright Review
In May 24, 2013 the instant hit online game "Flappy Bird" was released on the Apple Store. After great controversy, it was later added on to Google Play and other phone app stores.
The game itself was ranking in a high $50,000 a day.On Feb 8th of the following year, the game was pulled from the app store. Game-maker Dong Nguyen stated it was because of the negative press he was getting for the game.
It had later been released that Nintendo pushed Nguyen to remove the game entirely because of the similarities in game design linking to Super Mario Bros, created in 1985. Nintendo noted that the pipes in Flappy Bird were identical down to shading. Though Nguyen covered up the real reason, Flappy Bird was more than likely removed from the app store due to copyright infringement.

Summary & Recommendations for Coffee Store Survey
For my
public survey, I asked my peers “Which Coffee Store Do You Prefer?” The options
were Dunkin’ Donuts, Starbucks, and Dutch Bros. Based on the amount of
signatures I got on Starbucks, I would have to say that was definitely the
crowd favorite. Dutch Bros was the runner up, also seemingly a crowd favorite
but not as popular of a choice as Starbucks. I only received two signatures on
Dunkin’ Donuts, unfortunately. I feel like I picked appealing pictures of iced
coffee for each store, but since Starbucks is so well-known, the crowd sort of
gravitated to that option naturally.
My recommendation
would be Starbucks. Almost every person who took my survey chose that as their
option, so it would be a great recommendation for people who are looking for a
coffee store to try. I would use an image full of different Starbucks drinks,
and not all coffee because some people don’t like coffee. I would use something
that has diversity. Some of the people I surveyed don’t like coffee but they
chose Starbucks because that store is known to offer more than just coffee
products.
