I just found out in Australia you can literally walk in with grocery bag full of snacks and drinks and they don’t care. I saw someone had a full set of McD meal out in the open walk in to theater
I worked in a cinema maybe 20 years ago now. We didnt really give a crap back then as enough people still bought stuff. Unless it was a bollywood movie night. We'd have no sales of any food or drink those nights, so the powers that be clamped down on it one week. Made them all put their bags full of food in the store rooms
You don't even gave to snuggle it. When I went to see The Odyssey, I brought a backpack full of snacks. The lady who checked my ticket wanted to check inside for weapons (USA) and when she saw it was just snacks she waved me on through.
Movie theaters in general are hilarious. A "small" drink at my Regal is 32 oz. A small. And they always ask if I'd like to upgrade (yes, I know, they're likely required to ask).
Thanks for that link, I just spent 30 minutes in a rabbit hole about decision making when purchasing. I'm actually going to read some more about this later. Cheers.
If you want to get further into the weeds start looking at "pricing" but from the finance side. Many massive F500 companies have teams of people who handle pricing and financials--mostly for b2b. There's even a whole cert process for a 'CPP' from the Professional Pricing Society.
Literally people whose entire job is to analyze and model the markets, their business financials, forecasts, etc and individualize pricing structures per customer or segment. Every customer gets a different price. Sell product and services at the highest price each one is willing to pay.
See also: top and bottom shelf items. Middle shelf is usually the best margin for the store. The other two are mostly there to convince you that you don't want to buy cheap garbage (whether or not it's garbage) but you don't need the booshie stuff that's overpriced, so you go to the middle.
or this one:
Small coffee (160ml) € 3.50
Medium coffee (220ml) € 4.50
Large coffee (320ml) € 8.-
(customer) Wow, if I buy 2 smalls instead of the medium I wanted, I basically get a large and save 1 EUR. This barista is an idiot!
(barista) Ha, another genius who just paid 2.50 extra to save 1 EUR.
In this example, why wouldn't the customer buy a small and medium so they get more coffee than a large at the same price? Assuming they wanted a large to begin with.
Rabínovich is selling watermelons at the Privoz market under a sign: "One watermelon — 3 rubles. Three watermelons — 10 rubles."
A man comes up and buys one watermelon for three rubles, then another watermelon for three rubles, then another watermelon for three rubles — and on his way out he says to Rabínovich with a grin:
"Look, I bought three watermelons and only paid 9 rubles! You don't know how to do business!"
Rabínovich watching him go:
"And it's always like this — they take three watermelons instead of one, and then they teach me commerce..."
It really depends. If they did it the legit way, then it does change. Its all about the zipper placement.
It has to be at the bottom so that it doesn't bother. So if there is an actual zipper at the bottom of the pillows as shown here, then the french one has a to be sewn going through 2 bumps of double fabric, where the white meets with the other colours, while on the dutch, it will be sewn straight on just the blue part.
So if its manufactured correctly then you have two different products with two different manufacting requirements. If its scummy, and you have the same pillow just rotated... welp...
Yeah and i friggin hate them at the back cause man if the stuffing is a touch too big or stiff, you have to punch the rest in after you put one side in.
Those three have different ratios, but yeah. (They also use different shades).
But wait until you hear about Chad and Romania! Both use a ratio of 2:3, but only Romania specifies the exact shades of colors. Technically every Romanian flag you see could be a Chadian flag, but not every Chadian flag could be a Romanian flag. Typically Chadian flags are darker, but they don’t have to be.
Yuri: "F**k use is that?!? He's painting a name registered in the f**king Netherlands!"
Vitaly: "I've got a French flag."
Yuri: "...So?"
Vitaly: "Turn it sideways, and it's Dutch."
How much closer to the top of scrolling is there above the top comment? Is there like Reddit Premium or something that I don't have that shows the real top comments or something?
There were too many similar flags, such as those of Croatia, Paraguay, and Yugoslavia, which only differed by having a coat of arms or a symbol added to the center.
The previous Chilean flag was also the same as the Dutch flag, but with the colors reversed.
I know this is a meme but realistically you wouldn't want to just rotate a pillow that's meant to sit one way cause if there's a zipper, it'll show. A lot of people prefer to not see the zipper. For those who don't care, rotate away.
Whats the point? Do you know how expensive the labor is that you have to hire to turn the cushion right-handed at all times so that it remains the French flag?
A Finland store used to have the same Finnish flag sold as "Suomen lippu" for 9 € and "Suomenlippu" for 10 €. The first one is the correct spelling, so I guess they just realized it's easy way to get more money from dumber people.
The know the dutch are cheap, so it is no pillow or ..,.. some idiot french idiot that wants to cheap out. Because we arent nationalistic in the Netherlands almost no flags here
