Unfortunately, yes, this involves David Brooks.
. They do rob you at the airport, don’t they? I don’t want to play devil’s advocate for David Brooks, but I do think we might have missed the forest for the trees here. Who among us hasn’t forked over $23 for a vodka tonic during an interminable layover? Perhaps a pint glass half full of bourboncost $60 or whatever, but we all know there’s a long con here.
As a layman, I’ve always assumed that the reason food was expensive in airports is because those restaurants are selling to customers who are stuck in a terminal and don’t have any other options. Is that the primary reason why? Or is it more complicated than that?There’s a lot more going on. From a passenger’s perspective, think about everything it takes to go from land side to air side.
It varies between airports. Some airports will have a central distribution warehouse—for common use—where all the vendors in, say, Terminal A, will have their own supply cabinet. Maybe, once in the evening and once in the morning, an airport will allow those cabinets to be restocked. The timing of that will all depend on how busy and how much traffic that airport is getting.And I imagine the vendors are paying some sort of fee to keep a spot in that warehouse.
