[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, because I was a manager of a movie theatre back in my 20s: 1. Admission fees basically cover only the film rights. [b]The theatre depends on concession sales to stay in business. If you want your theatre to stay around (especially if it's an independent or small chain), buy the damn popcorn.[/b] 2. Because of #1, my performance as manager was largely judged on concession sale #s. Strict quotas, constant harping on what I was doing to increase sales etc. 3. Knowingly letting someone in with snacks was a disciplinary offense. Those of you smugly toting in bags with snacks peeking out puts the manager in a terrible position: he either starts a conflict with you, or risks you being a "secret shopper" and jeopardizes his job. [/quote] This. Concessions are the only thing that keeps movie theaters in the black. There's a reason that popcorn and soda is so expensive.[/quote] And because it's so expensive we don't buy it.[/quote]
