Why

As I plow through another unimpressive, overpriced hot dog, greasy fries and diet something at another random airport, I'm left to wonder why. Why is airport food so shitty and overpriced? I say this, not meaning all, just mostly. Is it because we're a captive audience? Is it because they will probably never see us again? Or is it because they can get away with it, knowing you would rather forget about the experience than say something?

All of these have crossed my mind at one time or another and I have always come to the same conclusion. I am a airport captive, they probably won't see me again, and I sure as hell would rather forget the experience than relive it with some uninterested community college hopeful who could give two shits about my complaint.

That said, I do travel a lot and if I complained about every shitty, overpriced airport eatery I would probably lose my mind. I realize I'm just another disgruntled air traveler but damn. Quit screwing people with over inflated prices and shitty food and serve something descent at a reasonable price. Your reputation is on the line whether you give a shit or not.
