Pluggers by Rick McKee for October 26, 2018

if there’s a gum ball dispenser, he’d use that quarter thereon

I’ve heard that the snack bar is the REAL profit center of a typical megaplex.;D

The high cost of today’s entertainment :-)

But you have to love the refillable popcorn & drinks that some theaters offer.

When I dated my wife soda pop wasn’t allowed in the theater, popcorn was a dime, butter corn was a quarter. Candy was $0.10. Admission was $0.60 before 6 p.m. and $0.90 after 6 p.m.

No more concession stand fare for this guy. I still have a mortgage.

You have to take out a mortgage to go to the movies or sporting event.

I just ask for a cup of ice and that will generally last for the movie then get something to eat later

Local brewhouse/movie theater, that amount will get you a meal and 2 beers.

Many many years ago when Total Recall came out as a first run I went to see that movie for $2 at the theater while friends of mine snuck in beer and the empties rolled down along the theater floor. Now times have changed.

It has gotten too pricey for this Plugger. I usually either go without now… or I sneak in something but then feel damn guilty about it. The tickets alone, are often too pricey for the limited story telling in a big percentage of the movies the last 3-4 years as well.

This old Plugger doesn’t get concession food or drink. I don’t want to need to get up and go during the movie!

The last time i went to a theater and paid for a flick was in 1996.

Too pricey.. and loud, for me as well. Haven’t gone to a movie for years.

Not me!

Concessions are how the theater makes money. They don’t see a dime from the actual movie unless it runs for several weeks. I use to buy an item that cost $3.75 until while at a Walgreens the same item was .75 cents. Now it’s popcorn and a soda however, now that rare.
