I wonder what that theater’s spaghetti policy is.

Cocodapuf ,

Every organization should have a “spaghetti policy”.

What’s the US army’s spaghetti policy?

What’s Microsoft spaghetti policy?

What’s the Make a Wish Foundation’s spaghetti policy?

I was just reading about pirate radio stations. One pretty bitter post by a busted pirate radio operator went like “while a large number of police officers were busy chasing us through the forest, a guy got stabbed to death in the downtown. I think the raid on us was a gross mistake of police resource allocation.”

This is like that, but even more petty.

I’m so happy this guy doesn’t live in the US & have more destructive opportunities in life.

Meh my internet points will take a hit.

Guy is paid to enforce rules. “Hey you snuck in food I have to ask you to leave.”

Last says “No.”

Dudes next thing is “Well I’ll need to call the cops if you are treaspassing.”

Lady refuses. So he calls the cops.

Yes there is testimony from the people kicked out that he was a douche, but for arguments sake let’s say the guys denies saying any of the douchebag thing.

Now let’s put you in his shoes. You need this job, you have a lady refusing to leave… What do you do?

Seriously his actions aren’t unwarranted, especially in a place like NZ where cops don’t have a whole thing about shooting people.

I say this as a person who’s snuck tons of snacks, but also when I was caught and asked to leave I did.

Alenalda ,

the police were called to the scene because someone was willingly watching despicable me 4 (sus). i wouldn’t trust someone in that situation.

I am really surprised that still somebody goes to cinema. C’mon buying 40 inch monitor and good sound system is not that expensive. You will soon good ROI if you go to the cinema frequently

Tryptaminev ,

Look at Mr. FancyPants having space for a home cinema.

andrewta ,

Many movies a 40” display is good enough. There are a lot of movies where you do not get the impact without a full sized movie screen.

If they relied so much on those snack sales, they should bring the prices down to something reasonable.

$7 for a 12oz soda isn’t reasonable.

I’ve “snuck” quite a bit of snackage with me when I go to my local theater. (Especially because they rarely offer anything on my diet.) I put that in quote marks because I’m sure they can easily tell I’m smuggling my own stuff in.

I’ve always reckoned that they let me by because they’re not paid enough to really care. Thankfully I have yet to run into a theater worker on a power trip.

I guess it also helps that I do buy myself drinks while I’m there.

But man, I’d probably shit my pants if they called the cops on me just because I brought my own zero sugar smoked sausages and some pumpkin seeds…

I remember sitting in front of two of my wife’s friends during a movie once, when I was overcome by the smell of McDonald’s fries. One of them had retrieved a box of fries from the other’s purse once the coast was clear.

Nikz ,

I used to go to the local dollar store and grab myself a can of coke and some lollies (candy) on my way to the theater. In England, right before the movie starts, they have the rating card come up for a few seconds. It’s always the most quiet time because the movie is about to start, so no one is taking, there’s no movie playing yet, and the ads / trailers are over. I would always open my coke at this moment of silence because it was so funny to me to be sitting in a room full or silent strangers and for the only noise to clearly be the sound of a can opening that no one could see was just a coke.

Interesting news for a Friday. Gobto theater and be murdered. Guess ticket ticket sales will suck this week.
