What are the best ways to sneak food into movie theatres? What kind of food would be easy to sneak into movie theatres? How would you do it?
Our policy is that you can bring in your own food, as long as it doesn't disrupt the other patrons. No anchovy pizzas or large, LOUD bags of potato chips. We do strongly suggest you buy something from us, as a "corking fee." (We have 25-cent candy) I actually enjoy messing with people who do not know bring in food is fine. When I see them trying to hide the soda in their purse or jacket pocket, I ask them if they'd like a cup with ice for their soda. Reactions are YouTube worthy. We have an old guy who brings in a micobrew with him every week. We finally had to tell him to attempt to be cool, since it is against the law for him to have it--so, if someone bitches or I see it, I'm gonna throw him out. He laughed at me....
