This Ain't How You Do It

Pops and I went to the movie last night. I was pleasantly surprised at the $5 ticket, but really shocked at the $5.70 small popcorn--I passed.
I thought about that crazy price for a long time. Wouldn't it be smarter for them to charge $7 for the ticket--still a bargain compared to most of the theaters around--and $3 for the popcorn? I would have bought that popcorn without a thought.
I saw 3 people in the pretty-full theater with popcorn. 3 out of about 100 is not very good popcorn sales, not very good marketing strategy I'd say.

They get a big FAIL in the marketing department.

Agreed. Especially since a large popcorn is like 30 cents worth of food.

Did you see Courageous?

Yes Ma'am. Awesome movie.

Carla said...

Yes Ma'am. Is there supposed to be an apostrophe?

Maam?

kristi noser said...

Yes Ma'am. The apostrophe takes the place of the "d". "Ma'am" is short for "madam".
Here ends the reading of the English lesson.
Thanks be to God.

Amen.
