How much money would one presume 5 beers would that it would cover this many beers? Even if you're buying at a local convenience store or at your local alcohol store this would be around $50? Who walks up to a place, sees an order of what they assume is 5 beers for that price and thinks, "Yeah that's a fair price."
Counterpoint: a lot of people on ski slopes make enough money to legitimately not even concern themselves with prices
As long as there's snow, sure. I'm literally in a ski town right now that got fucked because of this. But don't worry, climate change is just a hoax...
I came here to say there was probably a context clue or three, namely the price.
I don't know this fella, but he is either so out of touch with how much things cost that he doesn't pay even the slightest attention, or (gasp) he is making up a story for the Internet.
Or for his wife. "I swear babe, I thought it was only like, 5 beers! Oh well, now that we paid for it..."
I live in high-end tourist destination and encounter these people all the time.
I mean you’re probably right but at least for where I live, your numbers are WAY off. Looks like this is four 24 packs, which where I live goes for around $60 on the cheap end. So that’s $240 at a minimum. Assuming they do a bulk discount, maybe an even $200 if it’s cheap beer. On the other extreme, basically any restaurant here charges $9-10 for standard domestic beer, and obviously more for imported or premium. So that’s looking at close to $1,000 for all that. A bundle discount might bring it down to $900 or $850 or something. And then I guess you could go even further and talk about higher end beers which are oftentimes $20 here, or more probably too. So double the previous numbers.
All that’s to say, even on the low end of $200, that’s still nuts for 5 beers. That would be $40 per beer, which even high end at a specialty restaurant I wouldn’t expect to see that high. Hell, even at a stadium, I think I’ve only seen as high as $25-30 for a single high end beer. I just checked online actually and I could get a 5L keg of Heineken at my local liquor store for $42. And for high end stuff, the most expensive individual beer I could get right now is $34, and that’s for 750ml which is larger than what’s shown in the picture.
Looks to be about 90 beers and they're all tall boys. Don't know where you're from, but at the cheapest -we're talking dog piss beer or malt liquor- around here, that'd be at least $150. I imagine the markup at a ski lodge would make it at least double that. Your point still stands. OP gotta be full of shit.
Less than $5/beer at a ski lodge would be unheard of, so this is like $450+. They thought one beer was $90??
I mean, going skiing costs an arm and a leg to begin with. $10 for a large beer at the mountain doesn't sound outrageous to me.
Ten bucks? Oh for beer to be so cheap at a ski lodge, haha.
Those are 90's prices.
Depends on where you go. Vail and Icon own most resorts and are expensive af. But there are more locally owned places where prices are still reasonable as of a month ago.
“It's one banana, Michael, how much could it cost? 10 dollars?”

Jesus fucking christ.
I think the tone the tweeter/Xeeter wrote in implies he's disappointed, flabagasted, maybe a little angry. This would imply he spent more money than he needed to and got more beer than he wanted, like you assume.
But for this to occur and him to actually agree to pay, what must've happened is:
Or maybe it's a reduction for clearing out stock.
