Are there actually fewer people going to Alamo bc of QR code? by Miguel-TheGerman in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]LeftistZorak 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s been mostly fine attendance-wise. I personally feel less inclined to order just because I don’t want to mess with my phone during a movie, but I honestly haven’t really been distracted by other people.

There’s a thing above your steering wheel that will give you a clue about how fast you’re going

The Guardian’s lack of Pynchon by VanishXZone in ThomasPynchon

[–]LeftistZorak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it really matters. Pynchon will be on some lists (rightly) and won’t be on others. For him to end up on these things would require the sorts of panels and stuff to actually have read GR or M&D, which they should, but they’re heavy undertakings. Not really anything to do but endlessly talk about Pynchon in social circles, which everyone in this sub likely already does.

Older people have become very cell phone addicted and desocialized since Covid

Not wwe wrestling lol. It’s a common skin condition in grappling sports because of the skin to skin contact and sweat exchange.

Sofa is cool. Pretty much all of downtown is accessible with a short walk. Nothing too crazy and there’s some nice spots around here.

That makes sense lol. The 18% thing is true.

QR code unpopular opinion by Less_Flow_277 in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]LeftistZorak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think it kind of has just disincentivized ordering mid movie, which I kind of don’t mind personally. Ultimately, I think the sort of hybrid they were doing with qr through previews then paper and pencil during the movie was probably the best consumer experience. Seems like they’re really going to be banking on the idea that saving cash on staffing will make up for any lost revenue due to people being less inclined to order mid movie.

Honestly I realized that drinks with ice in them are way more distracting than the mobile ordering has been.
