Like come on, people are otraged about the most minor stuff, but somehoe can’t be bothered to boycot or change the situation with convenience pricig, where same stuff you buy at a store is 10-20x the price per unit.

“Youre taking advantage of my tiredness, making me pay more of my hard-earned money for the privilege of being too tired to prepare my own food/drinks myself, essentially making me work more hours for having worked too many hours and being tired as a resilt of it. So: making me more tired for being tired already”

    My favourite convenience pricing is at arenas and movie theaters. Conveniently you aren’t supposed to bring in outside food

      Food prices at movie theaters are so high that it is actually disrespectful and ABUSIVE! I ALWAYS sneak in my own snacks and drinks. I understand that concessions is how a theater makes its money, but that’s no excuse for abusive pricing policies. Lower the prices, and they’ll sell more, and make the same, or perhaps even more money.

        Nobody NEEDS to obviously, but I personally enjoy it once in a while. Sometimes I want to support movies, sometimes the theatre experience is better for loud or beautiful movies. Really the only downside for me (beyond expensive snacks) is a lack of subtitles.

        If you want to stay home that’s cool, but people enjoy different things.
