What about when the staff and the food/drink process they have is the disruption that I want removed?

Which is to say, in SF I've had way better experiences at our AMC than our Alamo. I hate saying it because I feel like a shill, but it's true.

Combined with the monthly subscription (which costs less than a single IMAX ticket, yet includes up to 12 up them if that's your jam), the megacorp really is superior for someone who wants to see movies in theaters.
