Concession Stand Research Paper

Would you rather pay the prices for theater snacks, or not have a theater at all? If people keep smuggling in their own food from home into theaters, they would be forced to shut down due to the fact that theaters wouldn’t be able to run without the profit made from the concession stand. I believe that bringing food from outside into theaters is not okay. When you bring outside food into the theater it can be disruptive, unfair to people working there, and can sometimes be illegal.

Tickets alone, can’t pay for the fee and the amount of money it takes to keep a movie theater in business so if snacks weren’t so expensive, the movie theater would be shut down and there wouldn’t be a movie theater to go to. A third argument would be that snacks tend to not be healthy. If it’s a Friday night and you just want to relax and enjoy a movie with your favorite snack, I’m pretty sure most people aren’t worried about how healthy it is. People come to theaters to get a break from stress, not worry about how much sodium is in a large popcorn.
This is why food brought from home should not be allowed in theaters. So stop stealing people's money and making other people uncomfortable by smuggling food into theaters, pay the price for snacks at the concession stand or just don’t get food at
