If the cashier is underaged, the floor supervisor has to come over to finish the checkout. And we have to card anyone that looks under 40. No clue why they'd have to be that old, but meh...

| Because, love, not everyone ages at the same rate. I, of course, don't look a day over 30. (From a distance.)

| I've already stated my opinion about being over 40.
Put some Bob Seeger on the boom box and let's pretend that we're all 25 again....
And let's forget about beer in bottles. Next person on a booze run needs to bring back a keg.

They're tasty, and they're made of corn, which is rumoured to be a vegetable... not like potato chips, which are made of leftover tuber parts.

| Now I want Doritos... let's see, I think I'll get some Canadian Nacho Cheese flavour, then go down to America and get some of the Nacho Cheesier flavor.  | |

| Well, you just can't go wrong with Doritos. A few months ago, I was walking through a store... can't remember which one it was, and they had a 1kg bag of Doritos...
A few of those and some soda, and no one would see me for a month. Well, until the ambulance showed up, anyway.

| In commercials my favourite is the Carlsberg Christmas.... I like movie commercials more - Kings of Ads, AdEaters... But not much on TV. | |

| I find having to watch advertising before a movie that I just paid good money to see a bit offensive. After having been raped and pillaged at the candy counter, having to sit through ads is just adding insult to injury. Previews are ok because they help me decide which movies I'm going to see next, but ambushing a captive paying audience with ads is just plain bad.

| The theater I usually go to lumps all its advertising into the 20 minutes before showtime, when everyone's finding their seats and chatting, so it doesn't bother me.
And I don't mind the insane prices at the concession stand, because that's the only place the theater makes any money (almost all ticket receipts, plus a huge fee for each showing, go to the distributor & studios). It's not like the people working there are earning scads of cash or anything.
What I can't abide are the endless previews -- more than 2 is too many.

| This is getting boring--I think I'll head to the kitchen for another beer and see what I can do for nibbles.
