You think you all got it bad. I had a cup of tea the other day and it cost me S$4.50! And the kicker is that they just gave me a cup of hot water and a tea bag. So I just about did everything myself!
Plus they'd forgotten our muffin orders completely.

Looks like they've found an extension to the word "airport tax"...

Yeah, that really pisses me off as well. I go to the airport to pick up my daughter and sit down and have a cup of Earl Grey and a Blueberry muffin. The tea is a cup of hot water and a teabag, and yeah, $4.50!
Somehow, instead of quoting Max I just typed in his post about the airport. Corrected now.
