I would suggest this change to your policy. Completely ban anyone from attending your movies if they are unwilling to pay your snack prices. Since I am not going to buy your outrageously priced food, whether or not I bring some snacks of my own, I should not be allowed to circumvent your business model.

Anyway, If it makes you feel any better, I can’t remember the last time I went to a dollar movie. And reread my post on the subject, clearly I was struck down for my dishonesty and deciet. A learning experience for all theater goers.

Give me a break, you pay $1.00 to get into my theater and then say you can’t afford snack bar prices. Would people come if we changed $10.00 admission and then gave them a free bucket of popcorn, a large drink and candy?

Actually the answer to that is no! We have run specials where the whole family can get in for $10.00 and that includes free popcorn and that doesn’t keep people from bringing in outside food!

I'm fully aware that this thread was died and buried months ago ... but I thought you'd find a post at another blog of interest, since it is by a dollar-theater owner who objects to people sneaking food in.

Now my point: I walked into the restroom in this restaurant and saw a sign, that I don't think I will ever see again, that read: Please wash your hands BEFORE you use the restroom.</p> While down in Louisiana this last winter, a client treated my colleague and I to a real southern dinner, including crawfish…with a myriad of spices that get all over your fingers.
