    Because who the fuck is going to start a fight with someone that’s already proven they’re an asshole, for $7 an hour, to protect profits they’ll never see any part of?

      Is the asshole the patron who wants better food, or the owner who decided on a local monopoly for lower quality and higher profits?

              USD. Traditionally, me and the guys I’ll watch movies with raid the local dollar tree before the showing.

                I go to the Dollarama just down the road, but the candy/chocolate is already getting to expensive. Would be cheaper going to the grocery store and grabbing a bag of chips.

        In the larger sense, yes the owners tend to exhibit the behaviour that of an asshole.

        In the context of what the previous commenter was saying, however, the employees would have to confront the individuals bringing in the food, and for what they are paid, they might rather not bother dealing with a potentially unruly patron. The patron in this case, should they exhibit such unruly behaviour (though still less ashole-ish than the owners), still exhibit asshole-ish characteristics, relative to the poor minimum wage employee who’s just trying to do their job.

        *edit: fixed the grammer

        Well, both I guess, but I was specifically talking about anyone fronting a “try and stop me” attitude by not even trying to sneak it in. They’re not going to sympathize with a low-level employee just trying to keep their job, they’re going to be a loud fuck head about it.
