I agree, however they still shouldn’t be charging 8 million dollars for food.

In fairness to ski resorts they do have additional overheads.

Its harder to get supplies in, workers are seasonal and either have to be provided housing or paid more to cover eyewatering seasonal rents, heating… not to say they dont tack on a big “Because you have no other option” tax.

Smart frugal people. Lots of others will just factor it into the cost of a vacation and be okay with it - accepting the fact that it’s overpriced and mediocre quality. It’s just a matter of convenience and how much people are willing to shell out for it.

Just because something else is worse somewhere else, doesn’t mean people can’t complain or feel cheated.

Of course not, it just makes them whiny little first world bitches.

They’re still free to complain, unlike many of the people actually suffering.

I think it’s less the feeling of actual, serious persecution and more just an intense annoyance at the perceived unfairness of obviously skeezy business practices.

Nobody likes being on the receiving end of “Lol because I/we can, that’s why. What are you gonna do about it?”

“Woah, you smuggled in your own food!?”

“Heh, yeah kid. This ain’t my first rodeo baseball game movie.”

I went to the movies last night for the first time in a few years. It was $42 for 2 tickets, and $30 for 2 sodas and a popcorn, and then they had the audacity to ask for a tip.

Funnily enough McDonald’s outside the airport walls is getting very close to the ones within the walls.

I’ve never been to a ski resort, never flown on an airplane, never went to a baseball game or concert. How are people affording these luxuries? I’m in the top 10% of earners and my money goes to housing and retirement. I’m still clipping coupons for groceries every week.

You should have been born to wealthy parents instead of trying to pull your self up by your own boot straps.

I think you can drink your water, but keep the bottle and then refill it in the other side of security

This is absolutely true and so easy to do. You can also bring as many dry snacks as you want.

With shorter snow seasons due to climate change, those may be the cheapest prices we ever see again.

I wonder how many years will need to pass before people see this meme and wonder why ski resorts are selling burgers and fries so cheaply…

There’ll still be rich cunts heli boarding, but yeah almost all the ski lifts will end up closing down from lack of revenue due to not enough up time due to unpredictable weather.

Oh and indoor fields like the one in dubai and Auckland, nz will presumably still operate, unless the sport in general just becomes really unpopular.
