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.

      I'm afraid i don't know. I'm still trying to figure out how the data is collected. I imagine it's a combo of both, but distributed unevenly. I'd love to sit down with some of the data available and build a dashboard annotated with the dates precautions were rolled back in what area and whatnot. Just don't have the time and money nowadays.
