Crying at the Candy Bar!

Sweet yet very sour...

Me: I'll have 3 small Frozen Cokes & a pack of Starburst Gummies thanks!
Candy Bar Assistant: Okay, that comes to... $17.40 thanks!
Me: Are you sure? Did you mean $7.40? (nervous laugh) Coz' I only ordered 3 SMALL frozen cokes and some starburst lollies.
Candy Bar Assistant: Yep, thats 3 small Frozen Cokes & 1 pack of Starburst gummies - That'll be $17.40 thanks! (blank smile)
Me: Oh of course! How silly of me, here take my money, I dont want it! Yay!

What the hell is goin on here people? How do these idiots live with themselves?

Friggin $17.40?! Who pays that much for a sugar hit? Why? Thats more than it costs to see the stupid movie! Lucky I didn't order one of those so called 'value' cinema combos - I'd probably need to use "Equity mate"!

Is this even legal? Im sure if i went to the local servo the exact same order woulda come to about $9.50 - an extra $8 for 'convenience'? Screw convenience! Frankly, I reckon smuggling the goods in from outside is worth the risk! You with me?

Has anyone ever questioned these prices I wonder? Surely the ACCC is turning the blind eye here. Its all a big conspiracy I reckon. All a ploy to recover the losses made by bootlegging movies onto 'DVDs' & selling them overseas at dingey Asian black markets! For $18 I'd expect free refils on the frozen cokes and a value pack of starbursts - it's only logical, isn't it?



Take a stand people! Rebel! Turn down those lousy choc-tops & the pop-corn that chaps your lips and makes you thirsty as hell! Smuggle in happy meals, value-pack bags of party-mix lollies, 2 Litre bottles of your favourite fizz and the rest! Screw the friggin Candy Bar, I'll set up my own outlet inside the cinema itself! Hows that for convenience?!

Stinkin' Candy Bar!

Thats all.
