Do you find stuff to eat aswell when you’re rooting through the garbage?
Good god, NO!!! That’s disgusting!
I don’t believe you. :dubious:
(If you don’t want to buy popcorn, bring your own)
Mom? I didn’t know you read the Dope!
As of right now, there are 5 sick weirdos who does (or would do) what the OP is asking. Seriously, what is wrong with you?
Riiiiggghht…
I am a popcorn addict. LOVE the stuff. Don’t enjoy a movie 1/10th without it.
But if I can’t afford the movie popcorn I’ll either:
A) bring a bag of microwave popcorn smuggled in my oversize purse
B) Buck up & watch the movie popcorn-less
or
C) say screw it all together & not go to the movie at all.
Never, not once, have I considered dragging a bag out of the trash. shudder
Six now, although none of them have posted to defend the OP or explain their reasoning.
I usually just pay for the popcorn, 'cuz that’s how the theaters stay in business. I guess I’m just mindless drone sheeple keeping the machine running…
Sorry, I thought this was the Anarchist coffee house thread.
Unless they just voted that way for a lark.
Or lark’s vomit.
I don’t think it’s all that gross, or even risky. We share germs all the time with the public, and it’s not like people normally lick the inside surface of the bucket.
I drink at water fountains, use public restrooms, shake hands all day. I’ve eaten food from strangers.
But I come down with the folks who thinks it’s dishonest and cheap. So no, I wouldn’t do it.
Costanza!?
This is almost exactly what I was going to post. So it’s a no because it’s stealing, not because it’s particularly gross.
It is particularly gross. Fucking gross, to be exact. Nay.
You consume millions of fecal bacteria every day. Why is one source worse than another? Out of sight, out of mind?
It’s not also just a question of bacteria for me. It’s gross as in tacky to me. Like sneaking your date into a movie theatre because you’re too cheap to shell out for a second ticket.
Listen to your Mother. Don’t date men that ask for free refills or grab popcorn buckets from the trash to get free popcorn. Trust me on this. You will be the free refill.
Don’t you have StarPass? It’s a free program for moviegoers and one of the benefits is free refills for your popcorn, and free popcorn/drinks/tickets after a certain amount of earned points.
I don’t think it’s that gross and I don’t think it’s stealing (it is, but it’s insignificant). I think it’s just cheap as hell. If you can’t pay for it, you don’t get to eat it. Suck it up.
What? How is it not stealing when you go on to say that it is? Stealing doesn’t stop being stealing because it’s a small amount.
Seconded. It’s stealing plain and simple and it’s wrong. The gross part… meh.
