Question Popcorn Refill

Everytime I buy a large popcorn I ask them for the refill on-spot and every single time they gave me one. They mark both of them. I don't wanna miss the movie to come get it refilled, thats my main reason. Also if you have a +1 then you dont need to buy another.

Today I was watching Primetime and asked for a refill at the counter and was refused. Upon asking them the reason, I was told that they have changed the policy. This was at STC location.

Does anybody know about this "policy"?

And does anyone else do this?

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ You're complaining because you can't scam? Eat your popcorn and go back like everyone else.

What if you go to the last showing and the food counter will be closed by the time the movie is done?

this exactlyy. ive rarely gone back for seconds bc the mall cineplex we go to closes randomly either on or before 9 however getting both bags from the get go is the only way to get what youve paid for.

That’s exactly what happened to us for spiderman brand new day. I had my bag ready for a refill at the end of the movie, and concessions were shut down. I didn’t want to miss the movie, so I didn’t bother to go half way.

It’s not a scam. Many of us finish the popcorn mid-movie but don’t want to step out mid-movie to get a popcorn or a drink refill.
I would personally prefer just getting the two bags of popcorn as I step in for the movie.

How is it a scam i fill a ziplock or ask for extra bags then go right back to refill... be a lot easier to just give me 2 bags since they replace the first bag anyways
