so he paid for two families essentially. $209 for two hours for one lane, that’s ignoring the 7 pairs of shoes rented so it’s not an even split.

There’s an event fee in there too, likely because this is a party of more than 6.

And catching a new movie on a big holiday weekend is now... a luxury?
And going to the gym after work is now... a luxury?
Doesn't this feel like a "winner-take-all economy on steroids"?
