@bagshaw2112 It’s not like Ryan Air or other low cost carriers hide this from their customers. No one is surprised by the tiers of charges. They allow lower income folks to choose to fly because it’s “no frills”. Don’t fly with them if you don’t want to!
Made me smile
Spare a thought for poor old Michael O’Leary, Chief Executive of Ryanair.
After arriving in a hotel in Manchester, he went to the bar and asked for a pint of Guinness.
The barman nodded and said, "That will be £3 please, Mr. O’Leary."
Somewhat taken aback, O'Leary replied, "That's very cheap," and handed over his money.
"Well, we do try to stay ahead of the competition", said the barman. "And we are serving free pints every Wednesday from 6 pm until 8 pm. We have the cheapest beer in England".
"That is remarkable value", Michael comments.
"I see you don't seem to have a glass, so you'll probably need one of ours. That will be £4 please."
O'Leary scowled, but paid up.
He took his drink and walked towards a seat. "Ah, you want to sit down?" said the barman. "That'll be an extra £4. You could have pre-booked the seat, and it would have only cost you £2."
"I think you may be too big for the seat sir, can I ask you to sit in this frame please".
Michael attempts to sit down but the frame is too small and when he can't squeeze in, he complains "Nobody would fit in that little frame".
"I'm afraid if you can't fit in the frame you'll have to pay an extra surcharge of £4 for your seat sir".
O'Leary swore to himself, but paid up. "I see that you have brought your laptop with you" added the barman. "And since that wasn't pre-booked either, that will be another £4."
O'Leary was so incensed that he walked back to the bar, slammed his drink on the counter, and yelled, "This is ridiculous, I want to speak to the manager".
"I see you want to use the counter," says the barman, "that will be £2 please."
O'Leary's face was red with rage. "Do you know who I am?"
"Of course I do Mr. O'Leary."
"I've had enough! What sort of a Hotel is this? I come in for a quiet drink and you treat me like this. I insist on speaking to a manager!"
"Here is his e-mail address, or if you wish, you can contact him between 9.00 am and 9.01am every morning, Monday to Tuesday at this free phone number. Calls are free, until they are answered, then there is a talking charge of only £1 per second, or part thereof".
"I will never use this bar again".
"OK sir, but do remember, we are the only hotel in England selling pints for £3."
Have a good weekend.

@Stned_Redneck@EdKrassen This “what about-ism” only proves you wrong.
NO, these 4 ladies should NOT have egged on violent leftist protests.
AND
NO, Trump and his J6 cronies SHOULD NOT have incited a riot that caused a violent mob to breach our nations capitol!
There, I fixed it for you.
Here' my opinion on Ashli Babbitt.
Ashli Babbitt is NOT a hero.
Ashli Babbitt is NOT a martyr.
Ashli Babbitt is NOT a bad person.
Ashli Babbitt IS a victim.
Ashli Babbitt broke the law, and was legally killed. That doesn't mean she deserves to have died.
Ashli Babbitt was a victim of lies. She fell for the lies told by Donald Trump, his associates, and much of the media. She truly believed that what she was doing was for the good of America.
She was wrong and she paid the consequences. It's incredibly unfortunate, and it's extremely sad that she lost her life.
This is either a lie, or Donald Trump is delusional.
Which is it? You tell me.
At CPAC this weekend, Trump told an audience, “In Beverly Hills, you pay a fortune in taxes. They say you can only brush your teeth once as day.”
Fact is that Beveraly Hills doesn't limit how much water residents can use indoors, and certainly doesn't tell people they can't brush their teeth more than once a day.
Why Does Trump keep pushing lies? He's either delusional or he's trying to make you fearful of things that don't exist. I think it's the latter. How about you?
@giantpandaOG@KNBR Visiting MLB teams used to stay at the St. Francis. Even the teams playing in Oakland stayed at the St. Francis. It’s right on union square but also tenderloin adjacent.
Austin Slater commented on the negative perception some MLB players have of San Francisco
“It’s unfortunate because a lot of the [visiting] teams stay right next to the Tenderloin… Every city has that though, New York, Chicago — It’s just that the hotels that teams stay at are way further away from that, so you don’t really see it.”
“I love everything about [the city]. I enjoy the weather, the views — I can walk down to the beach with my dog and look at the Golden Gate bridge, watch a sunset. [There’s] unbelievable food, great bars… You go to North Beach, you go out to Golden Gate Park, Lands End — there’s so many beautiful parts of the city.”
@WallStreetApes The president will be in SF for campaign fundraisers. News says he’ll be arriving Tuesday. This could be a contingency exercise or delivery of Marine 1 to SF so he can use it to get around easier.
Is Everything Okay In San Francisco?
Multiple helicopters seen. The larger helicopter has “United States of America” written on it, possibly Marine One.
