Might help to post your age. Not that people should judge you based on being too young or old but a lot of people are comfortable with people in certain age ranges for a variety of reasons.

I have never been to this one. I've been to an Alamo Drafthouse in Texas plenty of times and always enjoyed it. I think I'll go now to show support. I hate entitlement. I am epileptic and have a service dog. A real one. Not for emotional support. If I have a seizure he pushes me onto flat surface, pulls up my shirt sleeve to show my med bracelet, and presses my alert button. I live rurally and have a farm so I'm out in the pastures a lot on my own He is there to protect me from being trampled if I happen to go down near the cows or bulls. If we are in public he will sit by me and "ask" for help. He's a Siberian so it sounds like he's talking. I always buy him a seat and he sits silently and unmoving through the whole movie. We also sit in the very back row by the aisle so if we do have to get up we won't block anyone's view. I don't pet him or talk to him, he's there to do a job and gets plenty of that at home. If he had an off day, which has never happened, and made any noise or began moving then I would leave. I was nervous the first few times and was fully prepared to go during the previews as I didn't know how he would react. I would have known if he was fearful and wouldn't have tried to "let him get used to it".I had a person once in Colorado tell me they were allergic to dogs in a theater with assigned seating so I apologized and left. I'm not trying to get attention or impede on the experience of someone else.

I despise people who try and use disability for special treatment. It makes it harder for everyone else and makes disabled people look whiney and entitled.

Sorry for the rant. Just aggravating.

I'm from out of the city but have to come in for all of my shopping (rural) and I've been to this one. It honestly didn't seem so bad.
