what's another 4-5 years? The last 28-29 didn't matter.

That's fair too. Your assessment... not necessarily the fees.

The FAFO was for the wildlife and brats arsenal.

This post makes me simultaneously laugh my ass off at the pure truth dripping from the words. Then again, I also feel like this guy at what has happened to (some) youth sports.

If it's NYC or somewhere that people can access it by mass transit, then yes, I agree with you. In the examples I shared, every fucking customer is parking. Put the cost of parking in the cost of the room and go.

"Convenience fees" are what make me laugh/ shrug my shoulders on those transactions. I purchased online so your overhead is cheaper than fuck and you don't have to pay someone to constantly staff a booth/ ticket office; but hey here's a $19.95 convenience fee for making it so convenient for us, the vendor.

No. Total cost isn't my problem, except that I feel they should be more explicit about the total cost. If I go to Target and get a $12.99 shirt, I expect sales tax at the register. When i go to a restaurant, I expect both sales tax and to pay a tip. My complaint about this parking fee is that it is just plain bullshit for no added service. The parking lot exists whether I am there or not. It is not covered, nor is the vendor providing security. It is not valet. It is just straight up margin enhancement. My beef is that they should just reflect it in their initial price quote when you are shopping for the room. To be honest, the $3fee in Mankato pissed me off for just the principle involved. I was looking at my receipt a few days later and i was like, "Really bitches??? In that freaking wide open place?" this coming from a dude who hails from wide open spaces of all wide open spaces in West Texas. Coming soon: electricity access fee. I mean, they gave me lights, it should cost more for them to actually work, right? My complaint absolutely fits the spirit of this thread.

Total cost isn't the issue. It's the fact that they list the price for the room at X. and then charge Y for fucking nothing. But you did give quite the LOL at the basic economic lesson while being unable to read.

The NFL tv revenue is bigger than MLB or NBA total revenue. Fuck dem fans.

Los Angeles. The parking lot existed when they built the property. There is no covered parking. No security. No valet( another ruse.) No nothing. Just a big fee for…well..nothing.

Parking at hotels. Last week in Mankato, Mn; outdoor regular self parking at a Fairfield/ HIExpress/ Hampton type property- $3 This week in LA at similar property, outdoor, self park, no extra security- $ 25 there is literally no extra service being provided. It is 100% margin enhancement. Just put it in the price of the fucking room.

Exposure to lunacy is part of education. Leave it in there.

It is glorious. It is exactly what anyone could have hoped for. It delivers in spades.
