A North Texas man has filed a class action lawsuit against Cinemark, claiming the movie theater chain is lying to customers about the size of its drinks.
Shane Waldrop claims that Cinemark’s 24 ounce cups can only hold 22 ounces of liquid, according to the lawsuit filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.
Shrinkflation noobs. Never specify the size of a (pseudo-)prepared product. It’s better to use abstract terms like large, extra large, and jumbo that can be shrunk down in size without increasing legal liability down whenever you wish to juice your profits a bit (/s)
The cup itself is labeled 24oz, but it sounds like it can’t even fit that much liquid when filled.
Waldrop took the empty container home and measured how much it could hold, discovering it only held 22 ounces.
I love this guy, totally something I would do
I like the thought of him picking up the cup at the counter, weighing it in his hand for just a moment, and saying to the
kidyoung adult on the other side, “This feels a little light.”Edit:I just remembered you had to be 18 to sell beer in Texas.
“I think it’s a half-gram heavy on the back end.”
Name that movie.
Chronicles of Riddick. Keep what you kill. Which is weird because he was given that knife and not the body of the guy he stabbed in the head with it.
Pitch Black
Sorry false but close!
Yeah, Chronicles of Riddick. The sequel to Pitch Black. I misremembered.
Shame on you, mixing up Vin Diesel films.
He’s the Humphrey Bogart of our era.
Ooh, John Wick or Resvoir Dogs. Now let me google it.
Lol, way off. Been a while on that one.
Haha oh man, it’s one of my favorites. But you gotta watch the director’s cut.
On the one hand, lolz. Classic move theater scam. Love to spend $15 on stale popcorn that’s 30% salt and then another $20 on a drink, after walking in with an $8 movie ticket to see 30 minutes of ads.
On the other hand, holy fuck dude. Maybe slightly less than half a pitcher of beer is more than enough?
Foot long subs have a deal for you!
Imagine getting 10" through one of those cardboard-tasting subway sandwiches and being sad there isn’t more to eat.
Interesting! Is it only me or EU users or maybe everyone who’s been blocked from their site?
Yeah, exactly, they don’t want EU citizens lurking at there websites. You should use a VPN.
That’s probably just because they didn’t want to bother becoming GDPR compliant and instead blocked everyone that would have that requirement. Curious if they did anything for California though, since they have similar legislation.
I doesn’t operate in Europe, so they don’t care to be GDPR compliant. They do operate in California, so they need to support those laws. It’s still not worth it to look at changing their policy towards GDPR even if they’re complaint.
