Not reasonable, perhaps, but theoretically understandable. The escalating price of just about everything implies an increase in value that, in most cases, is not delivered. So some folks simply create their own perks — giving vent to rage or breaking traditional rules of social conduct (i.e., doing whatever the hell they want.)

If you feel you are paying VIP prices, you may well expect to be treated like a VIP.

Damn. It makes me think of when I used to listen to Last Podcast on the Left and one of the hosts separated arrived at the concept of social murder. I definitely noped out of that when their drop in quality paired with a doubling down on red-scare propaganda. And like, a later realization of how lurid and disrespectful this true crime stuff can be.
