cinemas? yeah, there's not really anything you can do with a phone there that isn't incredibly annoying to everyone else.

Gyms? no, let's not make fewer people get the exercise they dearly need to stay healthy.

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema used to ban phones. But, they've fucked that up by switching to needing a phone to order drinks/food from your seat. 🙄

I get that you still take your cassette Walkman to the gym and therefore have no use for a phone there.
But normal people use their phones to play music on their headphones.
