This has happened to my local cinema here in the USA. Muslims took over my tiny city and my cinema doesn't sell crablegs anymore, apparently its not halal. Its fucking unamerican is what it is. Now everytime I go to the cinema I sit there with nothing to do with my hands during the whole movie and it has just ruined the experience, I can't get into the movie as I need something to do with my hands so I can achieve that focus and verisimilitude. Not to meantion my attention keeps getting interrupted by the fucking muslim calls to prayer blaring out from the nearby mosque every 20 minutes.

But it wasn't some exclusive (perhaps even worse than Aldi), only-available-to-the-catering-industry brand, it was all the exact same stuff I buy for home. They cook it and sell it for ten times the price.

Even if it was exactly the same but with a different label, even if it was WORSE quality, at least it's different. But no, the transparency is gone, I can no longer enjoy my £4 sandwiches.

When i worked at a theatre if there was popcorn leftover at the end pf the day they would put them in garbage bags ( sometimes already used if in good enough condition to save money) and reheat them the next day.
