No, if you find a flight you like and, instead of putting your credit card information right there, you drive to the airport, pay for parking, wait in line at the ticket counter, tell the agent you want to buy that itinerary you just found online, argue with them when they say they can’t/won’t so it because it’s freaking Frontier, pay for your ticket, walk 10 minutes back to your car in the parking ramp, pay for your hour of parking, and drive home.

Probably not worth it for a single person/purchase, but if it’s charged per person, per direction (I think it is but not sure) and you’re paying for your whole family it may be worth it.

That’s only really done now for nonrevenue (employee) travel and changes in existing itineraries (trying to get an earlier flight, getting rebooked to a full flight because you missed your connection and that’s the next one, etc)

Some flights during certain seasons (spring break in Florida, for example) are so full that you hardly stand a chance of getting on, and of course that’s the airlines’ fault

The principle, yeah. The fact that it’s 50 cents keeps it mild though

Well, half of it is a “carrier interface charge” - basically, you’re paying to buy online. Fees are taxed differently, but they have to be optional. If you buy at an airport, they don’t charge it.

That’s Frontier for ya. The Ryanair of the US

I don’t mind driving, and I’m such a weirdo about paying/tipping when I can do something myself. I can probably count on one hand how many times I’ve had food delivered in the last decade

I was thinking the same 🤣

You seemed to be describing the Philadelphia plane crash that happened yesterday. I wrote that “huh?” a week ago.

I think you’re replying to the wrong comment there…

We did it!

Such a difficult accomplishment 🥹

Also like… That’s probably the only time you’ll see sympathy over neurodivergency from the people saying that

Huh?

How about Gulf Cart?

What country and what law?

Quick edit: you know, if Hulu doesn’t include anywhere that they do this, it could be seen as additional consideration (in the legal contractual term of the word - basically, what each party provides for the other) in order for Hulu to provide its service that wasn’t disclosed.

Of course, that just means we’ll get yet another “We updated our terms and while we’re at it we’re increasing our rates $3/month. Fuck You.” email and that’s that.

I’ve never worked at a coffee shop, but I know our taste sensitivities are different at different temperatures. I’d be surprised if they were exactly identical products to account both for that, and the fact that your product is about to be diluted when it gets combined with ice (depending on the temperature before that happens). The ingredients may be more or less the same, but the proportions and concentrations may not be.

Again, part of the overall drink is supposed to be made of the water from melted ice. It’s hard to compare sizes perfectly with that in mind, but it’s a less-extreme similarity to comparing a jug of orange juice with a can of concentrate (the kind you mix with water in a pitcher at home). Different products, but also different sizes for a reason.

Did you expect them to offset the less ice with more coffee?

In my experience, many iced coffee drinks are made a bit warm and more concentrated. The ice melts a bit, diluting the drink and giving more liquid overall.

Do they do that to an extreme? Probably. But there’s also more to it than “I got a drink with less ice and it wasn’t very full”
