Complaining about the prices at ski resorts and amusement parks is peak first world problems.
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 people plan and bring their own food 😉
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.
True, but clearly there are also people who whine about how expensive the prices are on a luxury vacation.
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.
Shut up
🤐
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?"
Feels like everywhere now. Baseball parks. Movie theaters. Rodeo.
"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.
and airports
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.
