Totally corrupt. And it’s a racket. In early 2019 I flew out of La Guardia on a business trip. Go into the bar. Ask the bartender for a Screwdriver. He says, “you gotta order it on the iPad and swipe your credit card”. I was like “seriously dude, you can’t just pour me a drink”? Nope. So I ordered it. $19 and change. For 1 shot of vodka and orange juice.
Long story short, flight delayed, went to 3 different bars in the terminal, all had the same stupid iPad ordering thing, and all had the same prices. Even the sushi bar they had in the airport.
Noticed that. Same thing at many venues. They also suggest a variety of tips no less than 18%
