Combination deals don’t save you money at some theaters. You’d pay the same price
if you purchased the items separately.

Stop getting angry that your food isn’t ready. Microwaves can’t cook frozen pizzas in
30seconds!
Popcorn keeps for a day or two. Many customers confuse warm with fresh.
Sometimes employees sweep excess food under the seats. Movies often end every
few minutes. Sometimes, three or more screenings end at the same time. They don’t
always have time to clean everything up.
