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.
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
🤐
Feels like everywhere now. Baseball parks. Movie theaters. Rodeo.
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.
Same for airport. Oh no we have to throw your water bottle (I bought 24 for $3) at security screening, but 10ft after there is a store selling those exact same bottle for $6 EACH
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.
That pic is way too generous with them fries lol
Don’t worry, they drop it down to $15 for the staff when it’s literally the only place to eat. Hence why your average resort employee carries a large backpack.
The good ol’ company store scam.
For what it’s worth that employee discount makes it the cheapest restaurant in town…
Same with GrubHub/DoorDash
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…
Let’s be real 10 years from now nobody is gonna be skiing anymore. ☀️♨️🥵
We can water ski once the earth is covered in ocean.
I didn’t know Waterworld was a documentary!
Now do an airport that happens to be at a ski resort
Pretty much everyone flies into Geneva Airport for the french resorts; the Montreux Jazz Cafe is the biggest restaurant there.
Just looked it up, their burgers are 26 to 30 euros.
Actually fairly reasonable for Geneva
This applies to hotels as well.
I wonder if they’ve heard about surge rates yet?
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!
Or amusement parks. Really anywhere where the only options are their stuff

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…
When did Five Guys get so cheap?
Thats hungary (orbanistan), not jus the ski areas.
Macross reference?!
That’s the most specific and obscure reference I’ve gotten here at Lemmy since I’ve joined, and what a good one! That track slaps, and the whole album is 😙🤌
keep on jammin 🥂
