Tickets, please? Anyone..?

Does this happen anywhere else?

We go to the movies, and end up paying the 22 bucks or whatever it is. Now usually the point of buying a ticket is to prove to the ticket taker that you've payed, and can be let into the theatre. Around here, we buy the tickets, and then walk right past the ticket taker's booth, because they're no one to be seen. We could literally just walk right into the movie without paying and with no one to stop us. So I just spent 20 bucks on some worthless square of paper. I know it's honest to just buy the ticket anyway, but believe me, with the prices they charge for everything at the movies, I would gladly just stroll right in without paying if I knew I could. Next time I walk in and see no one around, I'm just going to return my ticket and walk back in.

Not to mention I was always a fan of free refills on popcorn. It meant I could just save my bag from one trip, fold it up, bring it back next time and get free popcorn. Am I looking at free trips to the movies?!

Yeah, yeah. It might be silly. Cheap old bastard, right? I guess I shouldn't rip them off completely. Sigh...

Although, I download movies. For free. Hundreds.
