What is so wrong about paying more to go to the head of the line? Surely, no one would have an issue with wealthy people jumping the line at the hospital emergency room right? /s
Wow that's a nutty article. People get better value products by paying more. This includes access to scarce resources. This is not complicated economics, this supply and demand 102. Disney World is not a socialist utopia.
Better value for paying more is fine. What's not fine is that other people suffer - that is, wait more - due to the greediness of the parks. You pay some amount for a park ticket and you come with a set of expectations and assumptions. One of them is that you're going to wait in long queues for the most wanted rides, as everyone else is going to wait. You don't assume that some people will pay extra and make your queue even longer. It's not even mentioned when you purchase the tickets.
Kinda seems like it is mentioned. I can't believe they wouldn't try to upsell you to the that.
Maybe the author of the post fails to recognise that theme parks are leveraging long queuing times to get better profit. Just like the airlines are using comfort and quality of food, ie different classes of tickets. Even government departments such as passport control is leveraging it, ie pay extra for fast tracking your passport application.
It's at the expense of others. See what I've replied to 'tamana' above.
On a plane, the larger business class seats mean there is less space, on average, for the other passengers. Without a business class, every seat on the plane would be a bit larger and more comfortable.
Not convincing, sorry. You know the size of the seat you're buying in economy, in advance (at least in theory you can know).
Without a business class, every seat on the plane would be a bit larger and more comfortable.
And rather more expensive.
I haven't thought about this your way, but now I understand your valid points. Coming from a country with a high level of corruption, yes, this is bribery.
