I've never heard of that. They automatically charge 18% (?) gratuity now, but I'm not aware of any other charges, and I assume that goes to wait staff. FWIW, I ran a credit card for the gratuity when using a coupon for free popcorn in October, but I tipped in cash because the waiter returned a receipt showing my total as $0.00. When I got home and checked my card history, they had charged gratuity to my card. I've had more problems with food service and billing there than I would expect from any ordinary restaurant. Also, the majority of my scanned Fandango QR codes have for some reason printed tickets for the wrong screenings at the box office. They switch screenings to different auditoriums a lot (which created some chaos on $3 movie day last year), and they completely canceled one of the last screenings that I purchased a ticket for.

Odd question, do you know if Alamo has dropped the covid surcharge that does not go to the waiters?

AMC brought open caption screenings to a large number of theaters in late 2021.

OT, I avoided auditoriums 4 and 7 at Springfield 11 for years because the screens were damaged. However, I was forced to see something in 7 recently, and the screen was fine. So, they seem to have replaced those screens sometime in the past couple years. The projection has not been upgraded. I mostly go to Springfield 11, but the projection is better at Alamo and the Branson IMAX.

Alamo has finally adopted discounted ticket pricing on Tuesdays, although it's not as low as other chains: $7.00 + tax now. They have also effectively abandoned Victory Rewards. Springfield 11 Tuesday pricing is $5.49 + tax currently.

Blaming it on that last ice storm is for the newbs. I’ve lived in Spfd most of my life (30+ years) and this has always been the behavior.

There’s always people sledding off of the west Camino Alto loop, over by the Academy and south Sam’s Club

Strange looking dog bone.

Wait until you do get it and it’s gone in 60 seconds

Its 3am now and I had a bit of slippin and slidin but otherwise I was fine. Unless somehow the temperature drops 30°s and all the slush freezes by daybreak, driving shouldn't be a problem at all.

Multiple power outages throughout the city at this point

Who defaced that lovely phallus?

UPDATE:

Just sent our first newsletter out to everyone who has signed up, we really appreciate the support!

Currently, until we have the farm property acquired, we are working on expanding into some new varieties this year as well as the general staples. I would also like to make note that we intend to have custom spice blends available and are looking into the regulations regarding custom-seasoned whipped jars of butter. Also, don't worry, it's not just the mundane "garlic and herb" you see in the store - we got plans for those tastebuds!!

We are setting up a shop via Ecwid, I think it would accommodate things more easily and help folks with custom orders (to a degree, based on seasonally available produce).

He's made amends and it's blown over now I think. On that topic, lots of misunderstandings I believe.

Big chunks of snow and it’s about four inches now. Small stacks of it on poles and cars.

Behind Carver Middle School. When you’re facing the school, off to the left. Huge hill, perfect for sledding.

The fact that traffic tells you they are bypassing an intersection tells you there is an issue. I’m on a road where people cut through to avoid a major intersection light. The govt here is responsive but not big enough to foresee future issues and deal with them in planning. That’s why Parkcrest becomes an issue.

Hopefully OP has a dedicated Cuck Chair.

I love the unique design of that rocketship. It makes me happy that the young ones are still interested in STEM.
