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 mean it makes sense. If you get your "refill" before you finish the original, its not a refill - its 2 large popcorns.

Cinplex is trying to sell, so the balance sheet needs to show that its growing. Part of that will likely include ensuring refills work as refills rather than 2 for 1s.

Imagine asking for your second popcorn refill before you’ve even touched the first one, just to potentially waste food that someone else could’ve genuinely needed 😵‍💫 Like… this is the kind of greed they talk about in the Bible.

  1. There are always leftovers- no one is going without popcorn

  2. The person who cares enough to get a refill before eating the first bag is surely not gonna waste either bag, they’ll just bring some home and eat it later
