They once had a popcorn promotion a couple of times at the oldest mall's theatre here in CM that is now closed down. One time i saw the Thai were coming out of the woodwork and lines were huge. ths itiem I wa no tseeing a movie. the second time I was seeing a movie and the lines were huge and we couldn't even buy snacks for the movie as no one in line was seeing a move. Chaos as Thai taking advantage. We had to go all the way to TOPS ground floor and go buy drinks and candy snacks. Terrible.
