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.

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.

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 will eat and drink whatever I like and I pirate all the movies I watch. If I am responsible for the demise of the film industry you are welcome.

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

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.

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