Most of the theaters I was associated with through the years tried Coke products, but for some reason or another, Coke was dumped in favor of Pepsi.As I see now, the Pepsi people are much easier to deal with, both in prices and service. In any event, I don't drink that crap to begin with. Since I am an old US Navy retiree, I prefer the "good old cup of coffee". But, unfortunately, most theaters don't fair too well in the coffee department. They never change the grounds, and after 30 minutes, it tastes like regurgitated owl puke. So, I make my own coffee <sigh>  One thing I loved about the carbon arc days - I could make my own pot of coffee and set it on top the "black stick" lamphouse and keep it hot. Those old carbon arc lamps made excellent cigarette lighters, too. Never needed a book of matches or lighter...

My theatre (Ronnies 20, Wehrenberg) Sells Pepsi. To the point that we don't accept Movie Cash (Or free admission stuff) from coke products.. Pepsi sent us one of the best policy trailors I have ever seen. Featuring Barbie dolls doing all the stuff people hate: "Please dont talk on Cell phones" (or something to that effect) and a big human hand comes down and attatches battery cables to both ends of the cell phone and fries the girl barbie doll and her phone. Lots of funny stuff like that. its a riot!Oh yeah, and we sell beer. (Bud, Bud Light, and Amberbach) in 3 sizes (including pitcher) Sorry, but I still shake my head in amazement every time I say that we sell beer.. *sigh* Makes it interesting too since most of the employees are 18 and under, so they have to have someone working back there over 21 or call a manager to pour beer. The call goes out over the walkie talkies "I need a manager in food court to pour beer" haha.. makes me laugh.. oh well.. Back to work!
