Indeed...

I'm not afraid to pay for stuff, but some prices are just ridiculous.
The movie already costs €12. If it's >1.5 hours, it costs €13.
The parking for 2 hours costs €7.
While the prices are high, a can still live with them. Some money must be made of course. However, here's the ridiculous part.
A can of coke: €3,50 (Supermarket price: €0.30)
Coffee, tea: €2.95
Small bag of crisps (25 gr.): €2.50 (Supermarket price: €2 for 20, or €0.10 a piece)
M&M's: €4 for a small bag, €7.50 for a large bag. I don't know the supermarket prices, but it won't be more than €1.50 or €2 for the large bag or so.
I refuse to pay €11 for a can of soda and a bag of M&M's. That's just abhorrent. Even more so when you realise that the supermarket with its €0.30 and €2 prices (maximum) already is earning money.
If I'm not allowed in with my own, then I won't go in at all. Then they can shove the €13 for the movie too. So yes.... It can be likened to removing DRM from media or content, because if I can't remove the DRM, then I won't buy the media.
