My cousin and I attended carmike theater and I was appaled when we said something about the high prices at the concession stand and we were told that they had raised the prices because of the marines being shipped out to Iraq. I couldn't believe that she had told us this.
My cousin's husband was being shipped out the next week. I told her how awful that I thought they were. The manager came over to see what was going on. When I told him what we had been told and that my cousin's husband was being shipped out, he didn't even have the decency to say he was sorry for what had been said. He took the girl aside and argued with her and she left. I assume he fired her for telling the truth. He never spoke another word to my cousin or me.
I feel that this is an insult to the military community. She said they raise the prices when troops are being deployed and when troops are returning home from Iraq. I can't believe that an american company would take advantage of the very ones who are fighting for their freedom. This might not be a total ripoff but it is something that I feel that americans, (especially the military community) should be aware of.
