Someone is suing AMC theaters over snack pricing
==============================
On the one hand, I agree that snack prices are extortionate...
On the other hand, the simple fact is, the prices are so egregious because it's the only way theaters make any money -- ticket sales don't even begin to cover the preposterous costs of "leasing" a movie. Blame the publishers, especially for huge movies like Star Wars.
As for the case -- I seriously doubt it'll go anywhere, I'm afraid, for reasons explained in the article. I can offer him a simple solution, tho... Do what I do and eat before you go to the movies ^_^
