I am aware of how many things like movie theatres work and gas stations as well,.. this doesnt change the fact that once you are familiar with buying online, unless you need something immediately (like me and my cable) you can just order it online and get it in 3-5 days, with free shipping! $40 for a serial laptop monitor cable is terrible imo.
I know theatres make their money selling snacks and gas stations cigarettes, this is no secret.
