Ok ok,
Do you think that the people at the airport that run the stores have any idea what the prices are every place else in the world? Or do you think they just feel they have their own little country out there and they can charge anything they want? “Little hungry? You want a curry puff? It’s 8 dollars. If you don’t like it, go back to your own country.”
I think the whole airport/airline complex is a huge scam just to sell the curry puffs. I think that curry puff profit is what’s supporting the entire air-travel industry. The planes could fly empty, they’d still make money. The terminals, the aeroplanes, the parking, the giftshops, and the sweet things at the information booths, it’s all just to distract you so you don’t notice the beating you’re taking on the curry puff.
The next time you are at the airport, observe.
I believe the closest thing that we have to royalty in Singapore are the people that get to ride in those little carts through the airport. Don’t you hate those things? They come out of nowhere. “Beep, beep. Cart people, look out, cart people!” We all scurry out of the way like worthless peasants. “Ooh, it’s cart people. I hope we didn’t slow you down. Wave to the cart people.”
The other people I hate are the people that get onto the moving walkway (flat escalators) and then just stand there. Like it’s a ride. “Excuse me, there’s no animated pirates or gay gorillas along the way here. Do your legs work at all?”
For goodness sakes, it’s not Disney Land.
Cheers.
ps: I’ve stopped flying. Always take the bus.
