Comment on Indian cinema chain sued by film-goer over lengthy pre-film ads

I’ve timed it - my local multiplex has 25-30 minutes of ads and trailers (the latter usually being about 10 minutes), so I now leave home when at the “start” time and usually arrive in time for the start of the trailers.

Do you ever have to worry about long lines for concessions, or do you not get snacks at all?
I tried leaving at the start time once, and by the time I arrived, there was a long line to get popcorn and I ended up missing the first 5 minutes of Wicked. But I suppose that was an anomaly.

I take a bottle of water and a bag of sugar-free sweets. Booking is done in advance online, so I get to pick the seat (which is a big, old recliner) and it is all ticketless. So I breeze straight in. The staff know, so usually don’t bother directing me to the right screen - when the manager is covering check in, he often says I probably know the system better than him by now, although he hasn’t agreed to my suggestion of just giving me a scanner or my own login details.
If I go with anyone who might want snacks there, they can be ordered in advance too and picked up from a separate bit of the counter.

If you aren’t coinciding with a popular movie that has just been released I’ve never had an issue.
