Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

They agreed but the employee apparently insisted on sitting next to them to monitor the snack situation.

Instead of... telling them to take the snacks back out to the car? There's no situation where that isn't weird to me. Were there no other theaters to be cleaned, patrons to be helped, tickets to be sold, anything else, they just have this extra guy with literally nothing else to do but watch this family not eat the food they brought in?

Yep, seriously, is he thinking if he's extra hard on these visitors then no one else will smuggle food in? Because they're not earning any more money by disallowing this family to eat their snacks.

And they're hopefully losing customers over this shitshow, too.

Where I live in you can bring stuff in but you can't snack it during the viewing. Also, did we know that they came in with a car?
