Is it legal to prohibit take-away food in cinemas?

Is it legal to prohibit take-away food in cinemas? Recently, a woman in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, watched a movie with a French fries burger. When she entered the cinema, she was stopped by the staff, saying that takeout could not be brought in. The incident caught the attention of netizens. Up to now, the topic of Weibo named "The cinema refuses to take delivery" has been read by 1 188 1000 and discussed by 4883 people. Many people question that cinemas refuse to take out food, but sell popcorn and other foods themselves. The price is higher than that outside the cinema, and its regulations are unreasonable. During the visit, it was found that there were 10 cinemas in Beijing, and eight of them posted signs prohibiting take-away food. Different cinemas have different rules. At Wangjing Hengxing International Cinema in Chaoyang District, Beijing, a warm reminder is posted on the wall next to the ticket gate. The first one is "This cinema refuses to accept food and drinks". But there is a small supermarket in the cinema that sells snacks and drinks such as chocolate pie and melon seeds. The supermarket outside the cinema sells drinks for three or four yuan a bottle. The price in this small supermarket is 7 yuan. The staff of the cinema said that only drinks can be brought into the cinema. "If you have food, you can only take it to the cinema to sell it yourself." Similar to Stellar International Studios, Beijing UME International Studios is located near North Third Ring Road East. There is a notice board at the ticket gate on the first floor of the cinema, which says "It is forbidden to bring supermarkets and off-site food and beverages into the hall", and there is also a food sales office next to the ticket gate. A staff member of the cinema said that drinks bought outside can be brought into the cinema, but fast food and meals should be stored. In Legendary Times Studios in Blue Harbor, Chaoyang District, there is a small sign in front of each screening hall, which reads "No Takeaway". There is a food stall next to the ticket office. Besides snacks, juice and popcorn, there are also hot dogs, fried chicken and French fries. When an audience took a bag of fast food bought outside the theater and asked if it could be brought into the theater, the theater staff said it didn't matter. Similarly, Jinyi International Studios located in Chaoyang Joy City, although the counter at the ticket check-in counter said "Please don't bring food that is not sold in this theater into the theater", when some viewers entered with smoothies and take-away food, the ticket inspector did not stop them. At Meijia Happy Studios in Sanlitun, Chaoyang District, the message posted by the cinema is "Please don't bring greasy and irritating food such as hamburgers, French fries and melon seeds into the hall." However, when an audience checked in with fried food, a staff member just reminded him not to bring this kind of food to the movies next time, instead of letting customers store the food. It is unfair and unreasonable to interpret the law that the prohibition of take-away food is suspected of violating the regulations on the prohibition of take-away food in cinemas, and it is suspected of violating the provisions of Article 26 of the Law on the Protection of Consumers' Rights and Interests, that is, "the operator shall not make unfair and unreasonable provisions to consumers by means of format clauses, notices, statements, store notices, etc., to exclude or restrict consumers' rights, reduce or exempt operators' responsibilities, and increase consumers' responsibilities. Do not use technical means to force transactions. " "If eating affects others, why can the cinema bring its own things in?" Lawyers suggest that when consumers encounter restrictions on take-away food or drinks in cinemas, they can negotiate with cinemas or complain to consumer protection organizations and market supervision departments. Consumers suspected of overlord clause can complain that consumers have spent money on movie tickets, and cinemas should provide movie screening services, environment and seats. The "foreign food is not allowed in" regulation set up by cinemas belongs to the overlord clause set up by them by taking advantage of their monopoly position, which is a kind of "bullying behavior of shopkeepers" This practice of imposing additional obligations on one party is actually legally invalid. Article 9 of the Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests clearly stipulates: "Consumers have the right to choose their own goods or services. Consumers have the right to choose their own operators who provide goods or services, choose their own products or service methods, decide whether to buy or not to buy any kind of goods, and accept or not to accept any kind of services. " In this case, consumers can call 123 15 consumer complaint hotline to make a complaint. The above is the arrangement of Bian Xiao's answers to this question.
