It’s simply too much!

Over the past year or so I have realised something. No matter whether one can afford something or not, there is a ceiling to the amount one might pay for something. There are some shameless prices out there for goods and services.
Example: There is a pizza place off Brick Lane, it’s an “organic pizza place” the pizzas look lovely, probably taste that way. But I refuse to go, why? because pizzas are £9.50-£10.00! Pizzas are not expensive food, or shouldn’t be. I won’t pay this because if I ordered I’d feel like the waitress, chef and owners are laughing at me as well as all the way to the bank, “I can’t believe these suckers pay this much”.
I recently returned from Ibiza and a similar thing happened, pretty much every day. A sandwich at about £5, not so bad compared to the £8 for a bottle of beer. Again, some might be able to afford it, but it doesn’t mean it should be bought, I’d order a beer and watch the bar maid’s face to see if there was even a hint of a grin.
Pathetic, there really is a ceiling, you can charge more, but too much and people feel like suckers for succumbing. Simple economics. Problem is, I still see people in droves at that pizza place cos its trendy, dear me!
