A woman brought her own snacks to Despicable Me 4. Then the police arrived...

According to the New Zealand Herald, the two women took some children to see Despicable Me 4 at Cinema 3 in Pukekohe, North Island. The pair were said to have taken blankets and snack bags – containing popcorn, sweets, crisps and lollipops – into the screening without being stopped by any cinema employees. However, just as the movie started, an employee told them to put their snack bags away, the report said. They agreed but the employee apparently insisted on sitting next to them to monitor the snack situation.

A few minutes later, one of the children popped a Skittle he was already holding into his mouth, and quite frankly, all hell broke loose, the women said. The employee started shouting at them, and said that the police would be called unless they left. This is when the children started crying.

“My niece asked nicely: ‘If you’re calling the police, are they going to kill my mum?’” one of the women told the newspaper. “And he laughed at that stage. He looks directly in her face and he said: ‘Yeah, maybe we’ll find out.’”

1. Let's see, was the employee 16 years old on a summer job?

Why does the employee give a damn? And why the cruel response to the child?

I usually take a can of coke in my purse, and maybe a small bag of chips, but purchase a drink at the movies to show good faith.

2. The child thinking the police will shoot and kill her mother is a eyeopener.

I honestly didn't think police in New Zealand had guns.
