From the article:

When we went to our seats, the wait staff let us know that despite the fact that the previews were playing, we wouldn’t know until the movie actually started whether we could see the film or not. If it didn’t work, the screen would just turn black. Luckily, the film went through without a hitch.

Fuck them. Alamo Drafthouse is a bad company who got bought out by a hedge fund. They treated their employees like they’re slaves. They used to make people clock out to clean the public bathrooms and theaters. Their justification “you get tips”.

All the food is gross and handled by the most subservient drug addicts or drunks they can find.

They replaced a lot of experienced management with fresh grad students who had no culinary experience and the blame was shifted to the back of house staff.

If you ate at any of them you probably ate stuff that fell on the floor because since the wait staff is afraid of both the management and the customer they’d take it out on the cooks who give free floor seasoning to impatient people when accidents happen.

I saw a cook impale their foot with a knife, the manager make fun of them, they rinse the knife, sanitize it in dish, and they chop up mushrooms with it. I reported it to the health inspector and my car’s windshield happened to get busted when the camera didn’t work.

Only focusing on the knife thing. What else did you want them to do with it? xD

Display it prominently as a warning to any other feet thinking of stepping out on them. Gotta make sure they toe the line. Third foot pun.

Interesting thought experiment lol, what’s the difference between the knife stabbing a human vs an animal (meat)

Nothing lol cleaning it and continuing to use it is the proper response. The human needs medical attention, the knife just needs soap and hot water

Humans are animals made of meat

Probably, the issue was that he asked for no mushrooms.
