I don’t know, it makes sense to me. $11 will get you a slice of pizza, which toppings is up to your personal preference. At these prices, you’re not paying for the cost of the food, you’re paying to eat in a venue you can’t exit easily to get food elsewhere. See also airports, movie theaters.

If the event is cheap enough, like a game, you can buy an extra ticket for the cheapest seats available. That will let you leave to do whatever and come back, and you can get back to your original seats.

Yes, discipline your kids better, but sometimes, you just have to get out of there for whatever reason. It would be a shame to miss the entire show because you needed fresh air when you can just buy a couple of spare tickets for $20 or so. But yes, I agree with the sentiment.

In places where they don't allow outside food I can understand being angry over inflated prices, but if they do, it's your own fault you're "forced" to pay high prices. I work at a zoo and get all sorts of nasty comments and it's like, you could have packed your own lunch, no one stopped you from doing that. We have picnic tables everywhere and microwaves available for public use. Sorry you're inept at planning a day out I guess. Don't take it out on me, I didn't set the price.

I never understood people’s desire to go someplace specifically to buy overpriced food, but then again I’m a Goon and probably at least slightly on the spectrum. And it’s the poorest looking families at Six Flags walking around with 4 kids each holding a $15 commemorative soda mug while I’m trying to convince my child to share some fountain water out of a crumpled cup we bought four hours ago. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

It's almost like if a poor family is at Six Flags at all, it's a rare special occassion they probably had to scrimp and save for and they're going to enjoy themselves for once?  Also, you factor the overpriced food into the "can we afford to do this?" equation beforehand. It's not like it's a secret you'll be paying three times the normal amount for mediocre food when you go to an amusement park/zoo/concert/museum/whatever.

I thought I made a honest and fair observation. It's weird walking around those places and seeing people spend money on really overpriced things when it looks like that represents a significant expense for them. I've spent a lot of money at theme parks, but I looked miserable the entire time I did it. People will spend money on things they think have value. I can't really dispute what someone else considers a value, but it's weird to me.

I'll refill a bottle with water but otherwise I'm not worried about the overpriced food that costs a fraction of the ticket. Though a theme park is much more of a special occasion than an in-season basketball game, those prices suck.

It is a fair and honest observation. Just because the system overall is hugely rigged against those with limited economic opportunities does not mean that those people do not spend money in ways that are not conducive to their welfare, even though it is entirely within their agency to do so. What you choose to believe about that and what values you ascribe to that is a personal matter.

I’m not convinced there is even a correlation between income and financial savvy, let alone a causative link. There are plenty of supposedly well off people drowning in debt, too.

The garlic fries are a ripoff but I always get them and feel satisfied. Face it nobody is making garlic fries at home so it's worth the splurge at the baseball game.

The fries are just a delivery vehicle for the garlic/parsley mix. You could slather that stuff on anything.

Okay so other people have pointed out that you're being a loving classist idiot with stupid ideas, but even you should be able to look at your post and think, "gosh, maybe these poor families with four children don't want to go through four times the misery I'm going through trying to argue my single child to drink sad water out of a garbage cup off the ground that I've been carrying four hours, maybe those four people would rather just let their kids have a souvenir and not loving argue with their four children the way I am"

I'm a horrible tight bastard but even I know silly little souvenirs can bring a ray of sunshine into children's lives and provide something solid they remember good events by. My kid wants a pencil sharpener trebuchet to remember the time we saw a bunch of reenactors hurl a flaming sheep corpse 300 yards they're getting one.

Most of those places gives cheap (sometimes free the day of purchase refills) on their souvenir cups. Columbus zoo actually knocks the price down for each cup you buy at once. So when we went last summer they ended up only being like $8/cup instead of the 12 or 13. And since there were 4 adults and 2 children we ended up getting a shitload of refills. Was it more than it should have been? Yeah sure. Was it nice to just be able to get a drink literally whenever and did it make the kids happy? Absolutely

I am a miserly cheap person at theme parks so it just hits me as weird when people spend tons of money. That goes for rich families too, but it seems weirder for people who can’t afford much. I can understand and respect why that makes me look like an rear end in a top hat. cakesmith handyman posted:I'm a horrible tight bastard but even I know silly little souvenirs can bring a ray of sunshine into children's lives and provide something solid they remember good events by.

That's how money is intended to work, though. You apply a store of value here or there. It's up to you what you think you value and therefore select, but if you apply it in one place you do not have it available in other places. If that one place is expensive food, ok, but you will not have the same money later.
