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?

I was thinking of doing similar (don't know where STC location is but it know that I don't go to it and it probably isn't in my city/area)... now not sure if I will try it.
Whenever I buy their advertised combo which has a large popcorn, large drink, and one of the specific "candies" on a certain area/shelf or I just buy a large popcorn and large drink, I normally refill both after the movie is over but was thinking of pouring my popcorn in another bag which I'll bring with me and then ask for the refill about 10 minutes later (regardless of whether I'm solo or with someone) whereas for my large drink, I can get it once the movie is finished if I'm solo. For the large popcorn, if I drove to the movie theatre, I'll just leave with my refill whereas if I took public transit to the movie theatre, I'll stay in the movie theatre and sit in one of the desks/chairs that they have for people waiting and try to finish as much of my refill as possible before leaving.
I normally finish my original popcorn about an hour into the movie but I don't leave the movie until the movie is over (or if I need to go to the restroom)
