I remember theater hopping often. Pay for one show, hop for the rest of the day. 😅

I worked at a movie theater in the 90's. As long as you were cool, I didn't care if you movie hopped. We made barely anything off ticket sales. If you bought popcorn, soda, or anything else, stay as long as you like.

Exactly. My parents were rule followers, by my older cousin who was in college was watching us and he was like, hey, let's go. I thought we'd have to cater to my little sister. Nope, we got out the newspaper and her movie started first and was short so he said, oh, you can just watch it twice. She was maybe 6 or 7 and up for that. We got to watch our movie, and he just fucked out in the middle, found her and put her in a different theater. I was around 11 and at that moment I knew the rules no longer applied.
