Not to blur an ethical issue, but Joel illustrated here a business
decision of the kind also made by stores who place sale goods on free
access to customers, realizing that they invite 2 or 3 percent losses
from pilferage, in inviting increased sales and allowing reduced store
manning by this means.
If a movie theater experiences 2% box office losses from lack of
resource
of this kind, they have the option of lifting seat prices by 3 or 4%
- say from $12 to $12.50 per seat....
