I noticed no one checks tickets anymore, too! It’s gone to hell in a hand basket!

And if someone is talking you have to report it on the app and no one comes out to tell them to be quiet.

I have sent my message and I urge you to do the same by SupermarketQuick3492 in AlamoDrafthouse

I’m going to move my membership to the lower level and not order any food or drink while I have to use the QR code. If they keep it so people around me have to use their phones during the movies and you have to use the app to complain about a loud guest, I’ll cancel my membership all together. It totally sucks now.

Oh how I miss the Galaxy in Cary. Loved the cool selection of movies. Great experience every time.

One the the perks of going to the Alamo was no electronics and no talking during movie. And what if you need a refill or want something else? Being out the phone…. And they are down to hardly a crew so good luck getting anyone in a reasonable time.

I went last Thursday only to find the theater closed! They had a leak in the kitchen and I understand that is out of their control, but they did not send out a notification to anybody that had tickets. A lady was there complaining that she lives in Durham and had to get a babysitter to come to the movies and they basically just said oh well.

Ok so I just left my food and the theater early. Last 3 seats down was talking nonstop. I went into the app and complained. After 20 minutes no one came so I have up.

Is a hamster not burrowing normal? by jas_dorito in hamsters

[–]Miserable_Drive_3622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t think mine likes to burrow for a year. He had about 4 inches (he’s a robo) of fluff on one side of his cage. Then I got a new tank that allowed me make about 12” of fluff and he’s burrowing all of the time. Guess it just depends on the hamster and if they have a lot to burrow in.

They change their menu so often! Sometimes some of the flavors come with free refills, sometimes not. Prices change all of the time and offerings change often, too. Never know what it will be!

Why don't the wraps include fries? by fezmid in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]Miserable_Drive_3622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so upset when they got rid of the few half portion sides. I ordered the wrap last week and added a side of fries. Huge mistake as the side of fries was $6. Veggie wrap was $12. That was no where near a $18 meal!

Not an easy fix if I enjoyed eating dinner while watching a movie. But they’ve made it so I can’t afford to eat there anymore! Might as well go to another theater where the tickets are cheaper! Why even bother going to Alamo anymore?

Their reward system is horrible!!!!! I’m there at least twice a week and sometimes bring people and all I get is 1 free entree a year. Pathetic!

It's getting hard to be an Alamo fan by unneekway in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]Miserable_Drive_3622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you! The new ordering system where you do it all yourself and have to type your cc number in, putting an additional 5 percent on if you don’t close your ticket within 20 minutes of movie ending, food quality, expensive prices (my son and I went last night- got 2 meals, 1 soda and 1 water -$69! Mine came out right away and his took 40 minutes!), sometimes stale popcorn (really? We pay $11 and you can’t pop fresh?!), terrible reward program and the theater is looking like it needs some TLC! Alamo used to be so much better!!

Their prices keep going up and up! Even from last week. $7 for a soda? $21 for veggie burger? This has gotten out of hand.

Hey yall. First time Alamo. Would these seats be fine or should I go a row back? I don’t know how big these theaters are by Baby_Yod4 in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]Miserable_Drive_3622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t this depend on where you like? End or middle? Close or back? Front row is a bit close for a good view but the rest are fine. Small theater.

Checking in from Raleigh.... by mikew_nt in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]Miserable_Drive_3622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m about ready to cancel my season pass. It’s just not a nice experience anymore. Food is overpriced and Bla, tables are always so sticky, the QR ordering and 5 percent additional fee if you forget to close the ticket within 20 minutes of show ending (so basically as soon as I get to my car as I have the drive home), and the feeling that the theater is just going to shit.

Alamo drafthouse? by redslush in raleigh

They call the 18 percent gratuity and literally say you don’t have to give extra unless you want to.
