Everyone loves butter.

So a while back I went to see a movie with my boyfriend and ordered a large soda and a large popcorn, the kid taking our order filled a bag and immediately poured butter all over the top. I never asked for butter and he never asked if I wanted it. So I said "I didn't want butter." He rolls his eyes and walks back to the popcorn bin, dumps it all back in stirs it and refills the bag. Of course I am to timid so I just paid and ran off. But I definitely should have said something.

I don't order popcorn a hell of a lot at the theater, but I cannot recall that last time I was NOT asked whether I wanted their butter-like-substance on there or not >_>

UGHHHHHH. I hate that theater butter!!! My cat actually got some spilled on her fur once, licked it off and i swear it gave her instant diabetes. If your popcorn was still covered in that stuff you really should have said something.

I always make it a point to make sure I tell the people at the concession stand at the theatre that I don't want butter on my popcorn. That stuff is nasty. It seems that when you make it a point to remind them that you don't want no butter that somehow it offends them. Not everybody likes butter on their popcorn.
When at the movies I always get a medium soda & a medium popcorn with NO butter. Then I find a good seat & get lost in the movie.

I love butter on my popcorn. Not that that has anything at all to do with theatre popcorn. Part of the reason I don't eat popcorn at the theatre.

I love that melty butter-subsitute on my theater popcorn. But not everyone does, and that concessions worker was a jerk. But I'll take the butter you don't want. Mmmmm......butter.

At the movie theater I frequent, they have a condiment station where you can put ketchup/mustard on your hotdogs and put your own butter on your popcorn. The only problem I have with this is that the butter for some reason doesn't get to the bottom.

i like what they did at the theatre on base in japan... you buy the popcorn and then put your own butter on it and your own seasonings or toppings. that way you can be happy.

but yeah... pouring it right back on the other popcorn... bleh.

I once knew a guy who said his sister worked at a theater selling popcorn and had to get new shoes every month because the butter spilled on the floor ate through her shoes. I don't know if it's true or not, but I'll stick to butterless popcorn.

We have one that you can also pick what seasonings you want on it. Its in the US so thats cool. Also you can drink alcohol while watching your movie lol that to me is weird. I looove movie popcorn But he should have been more professional about it regardless of how annoyed he was. Thats why we have the retail smile.

I can't eat popcorn with that crap butter on it.It makes me deathly sick.

I love movie theatre popcorn, I also love butter (although all the theatres here have either the artifical crap or for like... 25 cents more you get REAL butter so i just throw in the extra quarter. I mean I'm already taking out a mortage just to pay FOR the popcorn and coke anyways).

but regardless EVERY time I get asked 'artificial butter, butter, or nothing?'

it just seems like if you worked the concession stand that would be drilled into your head so that if you end up dying and becoming a zombie. while all the other zombies are moaning for brains you'll be sitting there going 'butter? butter or no? butter?'

The Fountain Theare in Mesilla, NM serves wine. But it's one of those funky small theatre that has actual tables in addition to theatre seating.

A former friend and I used to volunteer out there once a week serving. It was fun, got to see some really good non-big budget movies, too.

And also got startled by the ghost on more than one occasion!

it is coconut/palm oil based, it is not real butter. I happen to be allergic to palm products...

[PepperElf]
