      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.

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

      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?”

        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.

    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.

      Annual pass gives you priveledge to buy a day pass, depending which annual pass level you purchase and if it covers blackout days, obviously, then pay additional fee per lift based on surge and distance traveled. Don’t forget to tip! 30% is appreciatively suggested. Coming soon, luxury bathroom fees!

    Yeah, it’s redonk. When me and my buddy had season passes for a ski resort, I would just bring premade lunches instead.

    Those fries look really delicious, though. I could sell a couple organs. How many spleens do I really need?

      I dunno. I’ve been an unhinged addict of French fries for many years, and I can taste those fries by looking at them.

      They’re too starchy , not greasy enough. The skins will be unpleasant which is unfortunate because I always like the skins. They look light on salt, and will need ketchup.

      My God what the fuck is wrong with me I’m like a fucking potato sommelier

      I mean, if you’re already at ski resort and you’re looking to harvest organs…

      I don’t know but I wouldn’t start with myself…
