The airport allows the 15% markup because of the crazy rent that is charged. They should reduce the rent and force the companies to sell items at the same price as their other Denver locations. I watched the interview with the concessions director, she should be a lawyer, defending the cost increases when it is the airport that makes it more expensive to operate a business, but skimming over the fact that the price problems start at the airport’s insane rent policies.

I'm not even surprised. Even snack prices at the Hudson shops are easily 50% more than normal convenience store prices.

I'm more concerned with all the African immigrant employees throughout the airport. If you didn't know you were in Colorado, you'd think you landed in Somalia.

I don't think I have seen a single international airport in the USA in at least 15 years that wasn't majority staffed by nogs.

They should investigate some gas stations. I've seen usb c cables for $20 and charger bricks for $30.
