    Ouch that is insane! I did learn from friends that online ticket purchases here do involve a service fee which seems not right for something that’s completely automated, but my membership waives it so sometime I buy tickets for them and they pay me back.

    Food is not worth it here also. I could buy dinner at a restaurant for less than the price of a couple of popcorn and drinks, and that’s what my wife and I wind up doing before a movie. Last time, we went to a restaurant near the cinema and I mentioned to the waitress we were seeing Dune next. She said “Oh, we have a points thing we do towards free tickets! Let me set you up.” So now we have even less incentive to do the popcorn thing.
