What sort of parent will say no to popcorn at the movies? Especially if their kids ask and its supposed to be a fun night out?

You don't seem to understand that you can't always say no or you might ruin the day for somebody else and in extension.. yourself

Any parent on a budget, or who knows it's not good for kids to always get what they want.

The problem is your kids have the expectation now.

If you make it abundantly clear before you get to the theater, there won't be any snacks; Then when they complain, take them home. They'll know you're serous next time, and it won't be a problem.

If I can't afford popcorn at the movie I'm not going to the movie as they money could obviously be out to better use.
