The lights on 3rd street freeze often in the wee hours of the morning when I am driving to work. I sit at a red light while waiting for the crosswalk counter to move but it just stays on 7. hopefully i won't get any tickets for blowing through it.

I think the earlier locations have the benefit of understanding the ebbs and flows. There is a last call during the movie, I think it's usually an hour from the end, where all the remaining orders have to be put in. Most people put their orders in before the movie starts. When you need something, you write it on a ticket and put it in this stand that alerts the staff that you need something. I found it rare that people needed too much during the movie, and the staff usually crouches down and takes appropriate routes to get to your chair. When it's functioning, its a great system.

This is not typical. Texas transplant here. I typically went to the Alamo Drafthouse in San Antonio. The customer service is unparalleled. I was excited to see that there was a location in Virginia, which I have been to only once since moving here. It was a good experience. I have yet to go to the location in DC so I can't speak for that, but I think you are seeing customer service post pandemic at its finest.

I’ve emailed the archdiocese and asked to confirm whether Catholic Charities was still involved. I’d read that they had fizzled out. Mutual Aid for Migrants was listed in a couple news articles but I couldn’t find an actual website for them. I also tweeted at sanctuary dmv for their confirmation for donations. I’ll update when I hear something back.
