Very expensive refreshments.

Before I start I would just like to mention that I do not have any problem with cinecentre or any movie houses in general. Their movie experience is very good and I do enjoy going to watch movies at all our movie houses, irrispective of which one they are. They are all equally good. My only complaint is their refreshment station. The movie houses only want the customers to only buy from the their refreshment station. We are not allowed to buy our refreshments from outside the movie area. That's fine. That is their right. The problem is their prices are way too high- nearly double what the supermarkets and tearooms charge. And their cooldrinks taste like imitation cooldrinks. Movies these days are already very highly priced. A family of 4 will have to fork out probably about R400 plus just for the movie. And then come the refreshments. Movie refreshments about an extra R400. You buy the same stuff at the supermarket for half the price. I know that there are still quite a number of people who will still buy their refreshments at the movie house but there will also be alot of people who won't because of the high prices. I am one of those many who will not buy from the movie house refreshment station. I'm sure that alot of movie goers have snuck in their own refreshments just to save money. And for those who are unlucky enough to get caught probably have to forego their very pleasant evening of entertainment. All because the movie houses are more concerned about profit than the customers entertainment.
