In India…
How much is your time worth?
Man in India successfully sues movie theater for showing too many ads before the show
Abhishek M R sued the PVR Cinemas, BookMyShow and INOX for showing long ads of about 25 minutes before the movie began, which wasted his time.
A consumer court now has ordered PVR to mention the exact time of the movie in the tickets and not the time when the commercials ads begin. According to the complainant, the long ads delayed the movie time and due to which he could not get back to work.
The court said that “time is money” and no one has the right to benefit from someone else’s time and money.
The man requested damages for “causing mental agony,” punitive damages for unfair business practices, and court costs. The court awarded him $230 in damages and $92 for legal costs. The article does not say what kind of job allows enough time for a mid-day movie break (if the movie runs on time).
There are theaters (Regal, I’m talking about you!) that I will not go to for this reason.

Yes….time is money and businesses that waste a customers time should be forced to pay. ALL businesses. But odds of that happening here are somewhere between slim and none.
