Many struggling cinemas depend on sales of pricey food and drink as ticket revenue mainly goes to film studios. But does banning outside supplies really add up, asks Stuart Heritage
Agree. The police can’t evaluate a call out properly until they’re actually there.
I assume that the cinema called them with a slightly exaggerated description of the situation. All it takes is calling the (women) “belligerent” or similar to imply violence. Hence four officers.
My actual beef is that this business is socialising the cost of enforcing their terms of service by calling the police rather than paying for their own security.
