Give me a fucking break. They brought some snacks for their kids and the theater called the cops. Just saying “it wasn’t handled properly” is an absurd understatement. That was irresponsible and shitty. Did you even read the article? Look how the staff acted. That was a deranged thing to say to a kid. They literally laughed and said the cops might kill their mom. All because after putting the food away a little kid finished a single skittle in his hand.

They didn’t see adults lighting up a crack pipe. It was snacks for kids at a kids movie. This wasn’t just an overreaction/handled poorly, it was a sociopathic reaction.

“But this is how they make money” isn’t remotely enough to excuse this behavior. That only explains why you can’t bring snacks. Not the wild shit I just read.

Maybe I should have been clearer so you didn't have to write a story.

Fuck this cinema in particular.

Support your local cinema.

Sorry I shouldn’t have flown off the handle. I’m just so shocked at their behavior and taking it on you

No, it's too late now, we're fighting. Draw your steel.

Now this is getting good. I'll just take out my popcorn I brought from home.

I've got a camel pack (is that still a thing?) full of Baja Blast. Wanna share?

I'm calling the police (unless you share with me too).

Oh for sure, I get free refills at the Taco Bell in the parking lot

Random movie theater employee doesn't even make more money because of snacks, only the owner does. This guy cares about something that won't affect him materially. It's just a power trip.
