Where I live it’s $12 for $.30 worth of popcorn and $8 for $.20 worth of soda. The high school kids still get paid $7.25 though.

Where I usually go, tickets are 12 and popcorn is maybe 8. Not sure about drinks as I never get them. But then again, I go to a smaller chain. The kids definitely get paid at least $14/hr though

That’s literally what it cost last time I went, lol. I thought to myself, why did I just pay $50 for this?
