Holy Fudge… the concessions at the movies are out of control

Clearly I don’t go very often
Went today to see Marty Supreme…Small popcorns aren’t even available, the smallest size is a medium, which is the same portion as an extra large a couple of years ago
Same thing with a medium drink, it’s the smallest size they sell, and it is the same size as an XL soda from just a couple of years ago
The price for their two smallest drinks and their two smallest popcorns: $38

$20 tix then $50 food

In Shreveport, the Tinseltown, the Goodwill, and Walmart are all in the same parking lot. Hard fricking pass on those concession prices when you can get a 3 dollar purse at Goodwill and fill it up with dollar boxes of Whoppers and Buncha Crunch from Wally World.

Theaters don't make money off of the box office. They only get 10% of the cut the opening weekend which goes up by 10% each subsequent week
They have to keep the lights on somehow

I refused to buy concessions at the theater back when I went to movies in the theater.

They know they can’t make money on the shitty movies alone

Yes and yes, my son worked at our movie theater so I can tell you this is 1000% accurate

Yeah, and Big Movie brainwashes the children. It took the better part of a year before my son wasn’t terrified that Jack Warner would rendition him to Abu Graib for sneaking in a bag of Starburst.

Yet another reason why I don't frequent movie theatres.

How may typical OT responses in this it a thread?
“They charge a lot if people are willing to pay for it”
“The market price is what a person is willing to pay”
“If you don’t like it, don’t buy it”
“I don’t eat theatre snack, my 4% body fat won’t tolerate it”

I am betting you are in extreme debt.
