Yeah, but that's Gross Profit, not Net. A little known fact is that the rest of the margin gets eaten up in operating costs, because it takes an average of 6.5 minutes for the tyical HS-aged kid to pour a single soda, and another 8 minutes to wonder over to the popcorn machine to grab a box of stale pop corn.
Of course, Out in LF Jr. notwithstanding, I'm sure...
