Yo @CBSSports, you're showing Chargers vs. Giants to about half the country, including Alaska and Hawaii, but you apparently think that viewers in Seattle and vicinity somehow GAF about either the Commanders or Falcons. Do better.

Attn: @RegalMovies
I am currently unable to either log in to my account or to change the password. In both cases, the error message displayed is both generic and utterly unhelpful.
I enjoy seeing movies in your cinemas, but quite frankly, your developers need to get their sh!t together.
Please investigate and advise.

We are now on Day 5 of the #safeway app not working with no resolution in sight. I guess those new hires from Crowdstrike aren't working out too well.

Hey, @Safeway, your site has now been inaccessible for four days. Not sure why your IT team can't do a change rollback to correct the problem, but apparently those new hires from Crowdstrike aren't working out.

Yo, @safeway, your app has been down for three days now & your customer support says that this outage is a "technical enhancement". Did you hire some devs from Crowdstrike or something?
