Is it illegal to reuse popcorn bags?!
Answers: I was watching a yahoo video about how a man claims to have gotten rich; he said one way is to "Reuse popcorn bags at movie theatres". I understand how that could save money (at theatres that give free refills) but I find the idea rather questionable. Are there any rules at the theatre against reusing popcorn bags?
Since stealing is illegal, I'd say this would be too. He's actually stealing the popcorn instead of paying for it. The refill offer is with the assumption he bought the popcorn on that visit--much like if you're in a fast food restaurant and refill your drink.
You're absolutely right it's questionable!!
Um, yes, because it's unsanitary. Health department would have a huge issue with this.
At our theater they mark the bottom of the bag when you get a refill and you're limited to one refill.
Health department rulings can differ from state to state and different communities. so long as the bag is not contacting the batch of popcorn i don't really see a huge contamination issue. But he is a cheat if he uses the same bag at different visits. That is stealing. you are only allowed free refills on the same visit. He needs to visit the local jail cell for a few hours if he thinks this is acceptable behavior.
that's stealing. It's like saying you can get rich and save money on groceries if you steal bananas instead of paying for them.
Why, yes it is illegal. Even though they give out free refills You have to buy the bag from them then refill. But out of all the theaters I've been to, none have refills just free butter.
