Capitalist concession cart conspiracy

29 Aug 2006 {View Comments}

So with the recent restrictions on air travel in the UK it got me thinking how good a business model it is for the duty free shopping and in-flight concession carts. Like all sensible (economical) people I tend to pack enough drinks and reading material so I don’t have to be extorted while waiting for my flight… I mean how much does it cost for those minuscule cans of coke you get on the plane?

It ain’t like the good old days when you could accidentally get to america and realise that the penknife you grabbed at the last minute because it might come in handy backpacking was still in your pocket. Memories.
