There are literally lawn chairs in Hyde Park in London and if you sit in a dude rocks up and informs you that it costs like $2 per half hour to sit in it.
Can't wait for roaming fees on my oxygen consumption plan.
Is that dude a street scammer?
Nah, they even have a web site apparently: https://www.royalparks.org.uk/visit/parks/hyde-park/park-deck-chairs
Literally lawn chairs
Oh. That sounds like fun. Going round collapsing all the unoccupied chairs, that is.
It used to be like that when I was a wee child in the Paris parks. They stopped it in the early '70s I think. I seem to remember that the fee was 50 centimes back then for 1/2 hour. I've no idea what the current equivalent would be.
So I looked up a random inflation calculator and it works out to 1€ today, taking into account the 684% of inflation.
Can you bring your own chair?
What the fuck
There's literally food in restaurants in London and if you eat it a dude rocks up and informs you it's like £15 to eat it.
I'm not sure what you expect here. A charitable or government service to provide you with deck chairs for free?
I'm my local park there are hammocks that the local government puts up each year.
Benches, hammocks, flowers, swings and a free open air gym is provided as part of the tax we pay to the city
I know that you are just a rightoid moron but I just want to make clear that having nice parks that people want to spend time in is not a new and weird concept.
Free outdoor seating is extremely common though, it's not that far fetched it could apply to deck chairs too
15? That's it! Where is this good deal?
The only reasonable food while out and about was supermarket meal deals when I went to visit a few years back.
This must be the guy who charges for the chairs lol
Are you fucking for real
What a dumbass.
At least it comes at a discount right now
how are you getting an ad on lemmy ?
Poor guy is doing lemmy all wrong.
They're using an app which has an ad-supported version. I prefer Jeroba, which is only donation supported, but I'm not gonna stop people from making decisions.
"sure, it seems like a lot but you need the understand the great value you're getting for that $70! Once you agree to a 48 month non-refundable subscription, we will ensure that our representatives do NOT follow you around with flashing lights and sirens and a big sign that says 'did not pay $70'! At that price you can't afford not to subscribe!"
follow you around with flashing lights and sirens and a big sign that says ‘did not pay $70’!
Why not just show ads? Paying the $70 reduces the amount seen. Of course we need lots of personal information to show the right ads. And everything you say or do will be recorded for AI training.
😬 tone it down there, Aldous, that's getting a little too plausible.

Don't forget to tip.
It’s just going to ask you a question.
Force the poor cashier, who's not being paid minimum wage and needs to pay back their loans, to nervously smile at the pissed off customer and beg for mercy.
Yes and may we suggest a reasonable default of 85%

Higher quality version.
My existence costs $1757 monthly. Maybe i should relocate to a state park to get the $70 rate
so that's why zoomers think touching grass is a form of consumerism.
That's not funny
