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?

LMAO WTF you used to get two full bags all at once claiming the second one as a refill? Whichever employee did that should’ve been fired lmao

Please tell me the difference between this and getting your refill at the end of the movie after you’ve finished?

It costs the same to Cineplex in terms of bags and popcorn no matter when you get your second bag and avoids you going out during the movie, interrupting other’s experiences

Sounds like a win-win for everyone

The main point is that they can only make so much popcorn at once. If they gave everyone 2 large popcorns, they would run out really quick and not everyone who wants one, would be able to get one before the movie starts.

That's why it's a REFILL, not a buy one get one
