Why this $9 Aussie sandwich has outraged the Internet
Recently, Perth’s new super stadium was criticised for the outrageous prices and poor quality of stadium food, and now the Perth airport is in the news for its similarly exorbitant food prices.
A Facebook post shows a photo of a simple ham, cheese and mustard sandwich for the whopping price of $9.90. The image caption asks: “Is $9.90 a fair price to pay for a ham and cheese sandwich? Spotted at Perth Airport.”
Internet users were quick to respond with outrage.
“Nope wouldn't pay that,” one user said.
“Would starve rather than pay that price,” said another.
However, many others pointed out that customers should expect high prices when at the airport. The airports are a captive audience and customers are paying for the convenience rather than the quality of food.
“Cheap for Perth airport. I saw a sanga there for $16 but in general the prices there are completely inflated,” said one person.
