Why do restaurants allow you to get your own beverage refill, but movie theaters do not?

606 views

Theaters charge way more for their food, but they can’t take the loss? I assume folks wouldn’t even have time to abuse it, because they’d be busy watching movies. Meanwhile, (most) fast food restaurants charge way less and there’s no way they’re not losing money over me getting more refills than I need, right?

Some do; my local AMC theater lets you get your own drink, you just have to buy the cup at the concession stand. They also let you add your own butter, which is great. Of course, I haven’t been to a theater in over a year, as you can probably imagine.

Soda is a really cheap commodity for theaters and restaurants, they make good money off the write up.
