A Total Ban On Food And Drink In Cinemas: Bring Back Smoking
TO the cinema, where Adam Glennon is making his way to his seat for the sci-fi thriller Cloverfield.
A security guard approaches. He wants to know what Mr Glennon has in the plastic bag. Sweets. Mr Glennon is ordered to hand over the bag and it contents to the guard.
Says he: “He was searching me like a copper looking for a gun. I was blood red because I couldn’t believe it.”
Mail readers learn that Mr Glennon had previously visited a cheaper shop and paid £5 for eight packets of M&Ms, a multi-pack of crisps, a “mixture of sweets” and two bottles of cherry cola.
The policy is that all beverages and snacks consumed on the premises should be bought on the premises. Mr Glennon is outraged and is now stood outside the cinema handing our free sweets and price comparison leaflets.
This protest may outweigh the money saved on buying the discounted sweets over the more expensive cinema goods. And it may garner sympathy with some punters, who should take care to swallow all freebies before entering the cinema on pain of being held upside down and shaken.
But the Anorak cannot support Me Glennon. His bag of swag is exactly the kind of thing that should be conviscated from cinema goers.
It is for such people and their noisy sweet wrappers that cinemas brought in a zero tolerance policy on mobile phones in auditoriums, lest the likes of Mr Glennon dial up a pizza delivery service and sit chewing a deep-pan Hawaiian with cheesy garlic bread and nachos for 90-minutes plus the trailers.
The Anorak call for a total ban on all food in cinemas and for anyone with a tickly throat to be taken from this place and shot.
The far less offensive habit of smoking should be reintroduced, it serving to keep mouths busy, and Spanish language school students from talking through the screening..
