Lol so I was worked at Alamo Ashburn for five years during college/grad school…could write a whole book about that place. Absolutely the most fun job I’ve ever had and everyone really loved movies/pop culture and worked super hard…it was constantly busy but everyone always tried their best.
Visited Bryant St to see Bros a few months back…my god. Gorgeous interior. Amazing picture and sound quality. But that service was rough.
It was maybe 10-20 people in the theater and took an hour for our drinks. Servers just didn’t seem to really care. In Ashburn the whole place would be sold out almost every single weekend and for special events and we had that on lock. Everyone tried super hard and helped out and I got the total opposite vibe from the DC location. There was no energy or hustle from the people in our theater or in the kitchen/hallways which would always be chaotic and busy in Ashburn with workers literally running between theaters. In DC they even walked slowly from theater to theater on their phones. I don’t think I’ll go back tbh…clearly Alamo’s heyday is well behind it.
