The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

A not very interesting side story:

There is a railroad overpass here and a stop light at a poorly designed and busy intersection, so it’s not unusual to sit through three cycles waiting to get to the stoplight at certain times of day. About three weeks ago I happened to be there as a train rumbled by at some speed, and I was gobsmacked to see the number of AMAZON labeled boxcars rolling overhead.

Amazon Amazon Amazon, WalMart, Generic, Amazon, Amazon, Generic, Coal hopper, WalMart, Amazon, Amazon, Generic, Amazon, Amazon, etc.

I probably watched 30-40 rail cars go by. The Amazon logo never stopped. The WalMart cars were second, but a distant second, and probably just above “unbranded.”

Breathtaking, really. I wish I had done an actual count. Have no idea whose line it is.
