| - Went to see Miss Representation last night, hosted by Wisconsin Women in Government. Upon, arriving, asked the "concierge" where it was playing. "Oh, they're over there, and they're doing everything". She brusquely waved me in the direction I was supposed to go. Uh, thanks?
Next: creepy, rude manager-dude who stood there doing absolutely nothing, and looked right through me as I waited to order food and drinks at the bar. Meanwhile, the older, richly-dressed women around me were served quickly. This was very frustrating, since I was trying to order something before the movie started.
Miserable, unprofessional staff. I had an overpriced, undersized, and pre-cooked "brat". They had no kraut (SACRELIGE!), and the onions that came on it looked really old. I was told it'd take "five minutes" to make by the manager-dude, but it took a lot longer. This forced me to miss the beginning of the movie I paid almost 15 bucks to see. Hilariously, it was served in this huge- I mean huge!- round metal basket-thing that looked like it had been a light fixture in a previous life. The tiny pseudo-brat looked lost in the middle of it. It sure wasn't fun trying to return to my seat with that huge unwieldy thing, especially since the movie had already started. It actually CLANKED when I set it down. What idiot ordered those things? Christ.
The theater was nice, though. Comfortable seats, good sound, nice picture. I could see returning for some indie movies in the future, but I think I'll eat before I come.
