i can certainly understand golf is a luxury. There are too many people who dont play much as they want, dont play much at all, or even dont play period due to costs. Its like if you go the beach with the fam during the week and pay 5bucks to park and 4pp to get on the beach. Then on the weekend you pay 12 to park and 10pp to get on the beach. An amusement pak may be $30 weekday and $55 weekend. Perhaps skiing might cost $49 weekday yet $75 weekend. Etc, etc.... These are all luxuries and we dont have to do any of them.
These places (businesses) are taking advantage of the very fact that you want something but can only do it on the weekend. One doesnt have to go at all/any of these things and that is true. But it is also true because of this some dont go much at all while others dont go period. This is more than just good busines practice imo. There is greed involved here too. There is (by default) a misguided accpetable means that is nothing more than simply taking advantage of the fact that the masses can only do these things on a weekend most of the time. Even though its not a luxury your are still being price gouged (unethical imo). The average "joe' is being taken advantage of. If he wants a good time he must pay extra because he can only do it on the weekend. It may be a luxury he doesnt have to do but this accepted logic is still unethical imo.
How is it the places' fault that you can only do that activity on the weekend?
