is it wrong to bring in your own candy/drinks into the movie theater.?

I dont think so its wrong to charge 6 dolrs for a popcorn if you ask me..

I dont see nothing wrong with bringing own drinks and candy. I tote large bag and I take my drink with me. It very expensive to buy at the movie theater. I dont feel like paying over 2to 3 dollars just for drink.

As a former manager of movie theater I can say that the reason concession prices are so high is because theaters only get to keep about 10% of their ticket sales. If concession prices were lower they would not be able to afford to pay their employees. In our theater we had to make a certain percentage of concession sales depending on what our ticket sales were. If we did not meet that amount then we had to get rid of employees. When we had to get rid of employees we ended up with long lines in concession and customers complained about that too. The theaters can never win in any situation.

I think if you want to bring your own than bring your own,I do it all the time, because the food at the movies has gotten so exspensive.

I DONT SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT , I HAVE DONE IT PLENTY OF TIMES. THE ONLY REASON IS B.C THEY ASK WAY TO MUCH FOR THE CANDY IN MOVIE THEATERS OR WE WOULDNT DO IT

we do it all the time. if we had to buy it there, we couldn't afford to go.

its so much cheaper to bring your own candy. i rather not eat anything than pay the theater prices.

I don't know why you shouldn't. If you needed hand cream and they didn't sell that, should they ban you from bringing in hand cream?

When you take several children it's the only way to make it affordable. Most theaters here in AZ allow you to bring in your won bottled water..I do buy their popcorn..but often will bring my own sweets...

If you don't think that it is wrong for them to charge $4 for 20oz of fountain pop, then yes it is wrong. But if you think that the way they charge for crap is insane, then keep bringing your own stuff. I only bring my own stuff because they're making like 300% profit on the consessions.

NO WAY !!!!!!!!!!! If they didn't charge such rip off prices people wouldn't want to BYO... go for it guilt free!

i don't think so if they're trying to sell u a 16 oz soda for 4 buck and candy at 3 bucks next thing u know they'll charge u to use their bathrooms.LOL

well i ususally take water with me but i buy food in the theatre if i am hungry.

i dont think its wrong. after all, if they dont have what i want, why should i suffer. as for drinks, well, it depends. if im feeling lazy to carry my own drinks, i'll just buy from them.

Took my mom to the movie the other day. Movie tickets cost 16.50. Popcorn, pop and m&m's cost 13.75. I think that is just a little bit ridiculous?

I don't think there is anything wrong with that. but in some theaters you can't bring in that much food but some allow you to.

I think its no problem to bring any foodstuff in the cinema hall unless its prohibited..

I don't think it is wrong at all. I have 3 kids and we take our own almost every time we see a movie. If they want more people to stop bringing their own, maybe they can lower their prices some. To watch a movie here its like $7 a person, $3+ a soda,$3 for candy,and $4+ for popcorn.This to me is quite expensive as some here don't even make $7 an hour when they work. One can wait til it comes out on video and although it may not be as big of a screen, you can pause it when "ya gotta go" or play it over and again with a rental of the same price as only 1 of the people you had to pay for just to get in the door at the movie theater.

It depends. I take my own candy into my local theater because the stuff is so overpriced. However, at a theater just outside of town, I buy everything because it's sooooo much cheaper. Drinks cost about the same everywhere, so whatev.

I do that many time as much as I can, but their employee keep against me !
