    So what next, are they going to start going after people who fill up before they arrive at the theater? Going into the theater on a full stomach is theft, you should thank them for the overpriced food they slave over for you (or at least the hourly workers who are treated like slaves).

      No, nothing is next. You can’t bring your own food in some places. It’s really not that hard.

          They didn’t call the police on them for bringing food in, they called the police on them for refusing to leave.

      They don’t control the rules outside the theater. Suggesting there is some slippery slope from them not allowing outside food in the theater to them controlling your life before going is just absolutely absurd.

        This is why I assumed they were joking but everyone responding is being serious.

          Poes law. But whether they are joking or not, you can read the other poster responding to me who seems to defend the claim.

            On this post, someone said somthing like: well, your talking to a moron. And the guys name was “a moron”. (Edit) The replies didnt notice the joke

            Poes law is just really strong on this post.

              It’s funny because that was me and I was going along with what I thought was the joke there, although still poking fun at the a random idiot because they did say something stupid.

        But they control rules of who comes in theater. At least in beastly capitalism they do.

          Suggesting theaters are going to check people for a full stomach before entry is absurd stuff that should probably stay in the bounds of black mirror-esque science-fiction works.

        Oral surgeons already want you to fast for a time before going in. It’s only a matter of time before movie theaters make you do it too.
