In Reply to: RE: I very, very seldom get concession stuff. I recently got a free coupon for a drink (Regal Cinemas): posted by tinear on July 19, 2014 at 11:20:13
$11.75 for a medium soft drink and medium popcorn on Monday. I've just gotten immune to concession prices.
In 1968 I was a student worker at the Louisiana Dept of Revenue. I filed tax returns into folders. Real interesting huh? Being an accounting major I often looked at profit and loss statement attached to partnership returns. The owners of several of Baton Rouge's theaters (I believe they owned 3 of the 5 or 6 we had back then) filed as a partnership. Revenues were broken down between ticket receipts and concessions. Guess which was higher by nearly an order of magnitude? I can only imagine the disparity today.
FTR, even tho big BR was far from a booming metropolis, those theaters were knocked out gorgeous, all of em.

w/inflation (not to mention production prices…) so 'plexes have to make it somewhere. Same idea as restaurants: entrees haven't risen, much, but appetizers, desserts, and booze will kill you.
For six months, I worked at the Oregon Dept of Revenue! You can guess why it doesn't like using an acronym...
