Not to mention that $4 box of JuJuBees that they can get at Walmart for 89 cents. Although our large popcorn (with free refills) is $4.25 and we don't sell JuJuBees, I think I know what you are getting at. However, you are forgetting the tens of thousands of dollars worth of concession equipment in addition to all the things Matt did such a fine job of pointing out. As I am sure you know, the box office take alone is not enough to sustain a movie theatre. quote: Jeff Lacey A CEO doesn't need to make millions and millions of dollars per year, while their workers have to work two or three jobs to get by or to better themselves. That CEO's decisions can make a different of hundreds of millions of dollars while your concession worker may bring in an extra couple bucks by suggesting a large for only a quarter more. Nobody has the right to tell anyone else when they are earning enough money. quote: Jack Ondracek Shouldn't that be the way it's done, rather than government forcing specific rates? YES!!!  |  IP: Logged
