Today, while on my way to the movies, I stopped at a gas station to pick up candy so I could avoid the high prices at the movies. The guy who tore my ticket asked for my purse, confiscated my candy, and then kicked me out of the movie theater. That guy was my boyfriend. FML

Wow what an ass. Maybe he was angry because you were going to the movies without him?

Some rules are just meant to be broken.

It's not against the law to bring your own candy. What the boyfriend did was illegal.

No but it is frowned upon and it can get you kicked out of the theater.

Yes it is against the law to bring your own food and drink into a theater. They can search you if they suspect you are bringing in stuff you shouldn't. They also have authority to kick you out.

Against the rules, yes. Against the law? I think not. You won't get arrested for bringing candy into a movie theater.

139 - They don't joke around about candy 'round here. I did 6 months in prison for bringing a Hershey's bar into the theaters. Pffft. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

That's strange, you really must've pissed him off. I snuck a huge duffel bag full of outside food into the movies before and didn't even get stopped.

Not when the entire FML is in the past tense. It's poor grammar to change tenses. "Was," means nothing in this case.

I am sorry but you should have known better. The ticket sales go right to the company "leasing" the movie to the theater, so the concessions sold is the main profit of any theater. Also, bag searches are becoming common place due to the Colorado theater incident. I am sorry your boyfriend was so unprofessional about it though. But in this economy you do not want to lose your job. He was in the wrong but try and avoid his theater IF you can.

Hopefully the "was" means you dumped him. At first I would question why you would give your purse in the first place, but then I saw that you had given it to someone you thought you could trust. Then he confiscated your candy, which was bad enough, but he had no right to kick you out after he had taken the candy. You agreed to the search OP, you had no more candy, so you should have been allowed to go in. Since you didn't get to see your movie you can at least get the candy back.

He only wanted the candy!

Let me guess: Afterward, he blamed you for putting his job at risk. Sounds like he used what he knew of your habits against you. Would you have let any other ticket-taker search your purse? Sounds like time to clarify work-relationship boundaries.

That last sentence sort of implies that you were expecting some kind of special exception to the "no outside food" rule. Sorry, but I think YDI.

I thought they can only search your belongings of they suspect you have a gun or some type of threat. I get that outside food is frowned upon, but I'm sure that searching in a movie theatre for the sole purpose of food isn't legal.
