ORIGINAL: Hood_Man I've got an unpopular cinema opinion, get rid of Ben and Jerry's ice cream and hot dogs/nachos/assorted complicated snacks from cinemas! I've wasted so much of my life waiting in line while some poor, overstretched cinema employee tries to serve a family of four their four portions of cheesy crisps with mustard, ketchup and jalapeņos, their four slush puppies, and their four portions of Ben and Jerry's with 3 different flavours, 2 toppings and saucy centres, while I'm standing there for twenty minutes with my cineworld card at the ready, hoping that I can get into the next screening before the film starts! Whatever happened to just having popcorn and a choc ice? [EDIT] I should add, before I get accused by someone of just being "Oh, he's just posting something he claims to be unpopular, just so he can attention from lots of people saying 'Oh I agree' etc,'" the real target of mine is Ben & Jerry's, which is a damn popular brand and I genuinely expect to get some abuse. We'll wait and see I guess Totally agree with this. Absolutely agree with this. Cineworld in Dublin have a great system where you buy your movie ticket and then they have a completely separate counter for snacks and drink etc. and I usually try and get that stuff outside the cinema for much cheaper. But even if I do decide to get snacks you still have the problem of stupid people going up to the counter when they haven't decided what they want yet or not having their money ready The two Cineworlds that I use (Wakefield and Sheffield) also have this system. Occasionally, the ticket desk is closed (on slow days and some evenings) and you have to get your tickets from the ice-cream counter, but usually they're separate. I usually take my own snacks to the cinema because of the price (though I get 25% off with my Unlimited Premium card) though sometimes I'll grab a hotdog while I'm there if I've missed lunch. On one hand, I'm glad they do more than just sweets, but on the other I wish they didn't sell such potentially noisy food- such as nachos.
