"This popcorn is something I don't crave" he said.

Saturday night, as the late show crowd was exiting the theater, a gentlemen passed by and said something to me. I thought he said, "this popcorn is something to crave". I responded with, "I know right, nothing beats theater popcorn!" He quickly corrected me and said, "this is something I DON'T crave". I asked why not? He said because he thinks the butter is spoiled or something. And, "I saw a concession worker wipe his sweat then serve my popcorn. I paid $3.50 for that popcorn!" I kindly took the popcorn from the man and starting chowing down in front of him (just to make sure he was telling the truth you know), and told him it tasted fine to me but that next time he shouldn't wait till after the show to say something. I told him I would have glady replaced his popcorn or issued a refund, and spoke with the "sweaty concession kid" if he would have asked me to. He left. I thought to myself, "he only paid $3.25 for that popcorn" and remembered that the same exact size popcorn costs $6.50 at a Cinemark. That's not to mention he only paid $1.50 admission versus $7-$8 at another theater. Sir, you came to a dollar theater and you got served a dollar theater experience.
