The seats are assigned. People have been standing in line for 15 minutes now. Why on earth would anyone want to stand there, when they could just sit and wait until the line clears?

I understand wanting to get off a plane ASAP, but boarding? You just end up sitting on the plane, waiting for everyone else to get on.

Honestly, if they didn't charge extra I'd probably not be so annoyed, but the theaters around me all add like a $3 "convenience" fee for booking online, which is complete bs since it's actually saving them money not needing to keep as many people working

Capitalists will capitalist, though

Yeah, extra fees to do that would suck like a vacuum cleaner set to high. Try letting the manager of the theater know that its b.s. to do that, you never know.

I actually got my local theater (long time ago) to stop having commercials shown after the lights go down, by talking to him (I'm not paying to watch commercials argument, basically).
