But wait! We are commonly charged by many restaurants (especially buffets) for their take-out food by the total weight of the food you select. hmmmm…..
I'm sure there are other ways to price a ticket appropriately than by passenger weight.
I'm not sure if I am seeing the correlation between buffet take-out and pax weight on an airline. It costs more to add a side to my Rib Crib dinner last night too. I asked for MORE food - I was charged for MORE food.
