What if I get pissed off about unlicensed stickers of Calvin praying/pissing?

If you get pissed off by a comic strip, make a Family Circus dotted line path into traffic.

Face facts, people, Nancy and Sluggo have always been trend-chasers.

I get that—I’m just wondering if any theater chain has tried to to make it by selling 100 boxes of candy at, say, $2 apiece rather than 35 boxes of candy at $6.

I thought I saw that technique at Target across from the Canton Goodrich... where are you at in Michigan?

Exactly, which is why I really don’t care what their gripes are.

I think the Portland Airport is an outlier. It’s one of the best airports in the US in my option. They have a Pok Pok there. It’s amazing.

PDX has had “street prices” since the 80's.

The profit margin on soda is RIDICULOUS. The buy those bags of syrup in bulk so they probably come to like 10 cents each. They are raking in money for every $5 soda they sell.

There’s a local ordinance that requires the Portland (oregon) airport restaurants (unsure about other vendors) to charge street prices. Plus they feature mostly local places, so I usually eat at the airport before I fly out.

Its the agreed upon trade off they charge 500% markup and I drop everything where I’m sitting

Across the road from a nearby movie theater, there’s a Meijer (think “Michigan Wal-Mart”) that sells movie-theater candy and snacks for bargain prices. They even helpfully decorate the shelving section with a “film reel / marquee” motif.

Agreed. I’m real broken up about the fact that my $1 box of smuggled Dollar Store Raisinettes is screwing up their more than 500% profit margin on candy. Normal prices would probably get people actually purchasing their stuff.

Has any movie theater chain ever tried to sell snacks at normal gas station prices? I mean, if the theater charged the same $1.69 for the bag of M&Ms that the gas station charged, people wouldn’t feel the need to stop first and fill up their pockets with food, would they?

A duck walks into a convenience store and asks the guy behind the counter, “You got any Chapstick?” The store owner says, “Sure. You wanna pay for it now?” The duck says, “Nah, you can just put it on my bill.”

Aww man this is sad. He seemed like a really nice guy. I’ve been watching Night Court on one of those random antenna stations that plays cheap sydicated shows. It had a solid cast. And, of course that 30 Rock reunion was great.
