My letter to the movie theater

So, I wrote an email  to AMC Entertainment movie theater AKA Showplace 16. It's as follows:



"Ok. Amc just bought out the theater that used to be Rockford Illinois showplace 16. I never really went to too many movies because it gets expensive. I used to go to the five buck club a lot because at least then the shows were 5 dollars and not 9.50. Anyways, whenever I go to the movies I have to get movie theater popcorn because its super good and I love it. I douse it in butter and put lots of that orange popcorn salt on it. It's delicious. Well. Normally the movies would be 5 bucks as I previously stated and the food I would get (2 large cokes and a large popcorn and supersize it for a quarter something more....) it would normally come to about 12 or 13 bucks. I just want to let you guys know that I think it's absolutely ridiculous that you buy out our movie theaters and then charge over 18 dollars for the same food combo! Not only are you getting rid of the five buck club you are so overcharging for food. This is exactly why people bring their own food and beverages into the theater. You can go to Wally world and get a 2 liter for a flippin dollar. Dude. Just to top it all off, you guys only offer free refills with the larges.  I just think it’s so disappointing that it costs so much to enjoy a movie. I cannot afford to go to movies but once a month maybe and now probably not as often as food is double the cost to what it used to be. Granted you don’t have to get popcorn and soda every time, but if you’re gonna go why wouldn’t you? I just wanted to voice my opinion. Thanks for listening."

So we'll see if I hear back. lol.
