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

[–] LaVacaMariposa@mander.xyz 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] ripripripriprip@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

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

[–] da_hooman_husky@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago

That pic is way too generous with them fries lol

[–] assembly@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago

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

[–] DannyMac@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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...

[–] xpinchx@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Let's be real 10 years from now nobody is gonna be skiing anymore. ☀️♨️🥵

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

We can water ski once the earth is covered in ocean.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I didn't know Waterworld was a documentary!

[–] mcmoor@bookwormstory.social 3 points 2 years ago

We'll be skiing in Siberia when the temperature is no longer -40 (any degree)

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

Same with GrubHub/DoorDash

[–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The good ol' company store scam.

[–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 2 years ago

For what it's worth that employee discount makes it the cheapest restaurant in town...

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So... Is McDonald's turning into a ski resort? 🤔

[–] rImITywR@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That looks wayyy too high quality to be McDo

[–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I agree but at the same time that burger looks very mid.

[–] tpihkal@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wonder if they've heard about surge rates yet?

[–] Cheerstothe90s@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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!

[–] Holyginz@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

This applies to hotels as well.

[–] bender223@lemmy.today 7 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Starkstruck@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Or amusement parks. Really anywhere where the only options are their stuff

[–] roserose56@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

well fancy polished restaurant, where they have a menu with fancy burger names, 2-3 different ketchup's and some fancy plates.

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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 😙🤌

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

When did Five Guys get so cheap?

[–] user501213@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Ain't that the truth!

[–] prettydarknwild@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

food at colombian beaches be like

[–] disconnectikacio@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Thats hungary (orbanistan), not jus the ski areas.

[–] lingh0e@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Complaining about the prices at ski resorts and amusement parks is peak first world problems.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 2 points 2 years ago

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?"

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Longmactoppedup@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago

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