While visiting family in Whitehorse, I had the unpleasant experience of twice going to see a movie. Although at different cinemas, the appalling conditions were similar.

Upon entering one theatre, I was greeted by a putrid odour alarmingly similar to urine, and in both theatres the air was very unpleasant and my feet stuck to a sugary goo in every aisle.

I once had the misfortune of reaching between seats for what I’d dropped, only to find sticky candy and popcorn fossilized to the hardware.

If basic dignity or customer disgust brings no change to these atrocious Landmark Cinemas, then perhaps a food health citation would inspire improvement considering food and drinks are prepared and consumed on the unsanitary premises.

Such a citation would surely be warranted. It’s baffling why it’s not yet occurred.
