In this cold weather it is even better to watch a good movie in the movies, along with soda and hot popcorn. However, some cinemas only allow the consumption of beverages and food if purchased at the convenience, whose prices are much more expensive.
And then? Can the consumer only buy water, popcorn, chocolate in the cinema?
No. That's wrong. Places of leisure (cinema, theater and concert halls) that sell drinks and / or food products can not prevent the consumption of the same or similar products bought elsewhere.
The correct thing is for the establishment to inform, with posters near the place of sale of the tickets, the foods that are sold there, which can be consumed inside the cinemas, regardless of the place of purchase by the consumer.
Conditioning the consumer to buy drinks and / or food (water, popcorn, soda, potato chips, candy, chocolate, etc.) only on the spot is considered "married sale", a practice prohibited by the Consumer Protection Code CDC).
And faced with a married sale situation the consumer must demonstrate to the merchant that he is wrong. Every supplier is obliged to have a copy of the Code available. So, just, calmly, the customer pick up the CDC and show that Article 39, I, prohibits the sale married.
If, despite consumer arguments, the company continues to refuse to comply with the law, we recommend that the consumer withdraw from the program and report the case to Procon.
If a company does not respect the consumer, change company.
