Going To A Movie

Going to the Movie

Cleaning and Sanitation. Your suspicions are correct. Sometimes we sweep excess food under the seats. Movies often end every few minutes. Sometimes, three or more screenings end at the same time. We don’t always have time to clean everything up.

Combination Deals, do the math, some deals are big hype it's the same price mark up deal or no deal.

Concession stands. For the first month or two of screening, money from ticket sales goes to movie studios. Theaters rely on concession stands to make money. That’s why concessions are overpriced. Popcorn costs almost nothing to make.

Digital “Extreme Digital” is actually lower quality than IMAX digital. They use it because it’s easier to maintain.

Foods. Most are not Restaurant Service. The only foods some trust are the popcorn, drinks, and boxed candy. They wouldn’t eat the pretzels, hot dogs, or nachos.

Freebies. No, they can’t give you extra cups. Everything is inventoried at the end of the night.

Late Starting Movies. Yes, movies start late. But they almost always end on time – otherwise, the ushers wouldn’t know when to clean up. Theaters tell you to come in early so you have time to watch commercials and previews and of Course spend your money in the Snack Bar.

Pizza. Stop getting angry that your food isn't ready. Microwaves can't cook frozen pizzas in 30 seconds!

Popcorn, Why does it smell so good? The popcorn has chemicals in it to make its aroma fill the theater. And Popcorn keeps for a day or two. Many customers confuse warm with fresh.

Sizing thing. Think you’re saving calories by ordering a small popcorn? That “small” popcorn could have been a medium last month.

Sneaking In. They know all the methods you use to sneak in. They just don’t always care enough to kick you out for it.

Unhappy with Employee.  Chances are, if you complain to the manager and he sides with you, he’s just putting on a show to calm you down. The manager might pretend to yell at worker for a minute, but he’ll pat them on the back the moment you’re out of sight.
