Re: ALERT: AMC Theaters have posted 30.06

Clark, that was a valiant effort. I do have one small nit to pick, though. Something that bugs me every time I see it written or hear it said.

Criminals couldn't care less about the signs AMC posts. If they could care less, then they obviously do care at least a little bit, and we know that that is not the case. They couldn't care less, because they absolutely, positively care zero, nada, zip, zilch. It would be impossible for them to care any less.

[off my soapbox]Other than that, it was a good letter. I'm sorry it didn't get to someone that works at AMC (who would probably just ignore it, unfortunately).[/off my soapbox]

I haven't been to the Movie Tavern on 249 yet, nor have I been to the one on richey rd, but I have been to Alamo Drafthouse and another similar establishement on Highway 6 just south of 290. If Movie Tavern operates similar to the other places, I'd have a hard time believing they derive more than 51% of their profits from alcohol sales - add up the cost of food and tickets, and figure a lot of the times it's families in there not buying ANY alcohol, and the numbers just don't add up...

Chili's "Bar and Grill" has a bar in it too - doesn't make it a 51% establishment...
I didn't say it was a 51% because it has a bar (which it does). I said that because it has a sign. TABC makes the determination as to whether or not a business is a '51%'.

Personally, I don't care if it is or not. I went there once and won't be going back. The place was nasty.

Just because it has a sign, does not mean that the sign is valid. I don't have a horse in this race,as I had never even heard of a Movie Tavern before seeing it on this board, but some folks would probably appreciate someone following up on whether TABC considers these Movie Taverns as 51% businesses.
