How are you gonna afford a house on that salary

Working at movies now would be much easier than back then anyway

is it true that cinemas make money on their food/drinks not ticket sales?
Dunno about that but i can tell you this.

Working at hoyts we could have all the free popcorn and coke we liked. But at no time ever were we allowed to use the boxes/cups the stuff came in.

So there you go packaging cost more than the corn/oil, etc. I guess.

Australian Cricket Team,
similarly airlines make literally no money from economy seats. Most of their profit comes from the limited business/first class seats.
Bloody rich flogs subsiding ticket prices making it possible for more people to travel on airlines...wait what?
