English term

price gouging

English to Arabic Other Marketing
The high price of drinks and snacks at the cinema has prompted one man to take legal action. What's your cinema snacking strategy?

Perhaps it had to happen eventually. Joshua Thompson, a Michigan "security technician" furious at being prohibited from carrying his own food and drink into the cinema, last week filed a class action against a large American cinema chain. His lawyer claims that for AMC to charge around $8 for a Coke and some chocolate-covered peanuts amounts to price gouging. A professor of business law at Eastern Michigan University has called the suit "a loser", but Thompson is not the only cineaste horrified by the price of snacks.
