Many of my colleagues thought I was the "chump", I didn't pack my schedule, saw 2-4 patients/hour, gave away probably $2-3 million in free care to those that WERE that marginal. I wouldn't be insensitive enough to call , say, hundreds of dollars/month "chump change", but c'mon----$3 or 5 or even 10. Lets be real.
And BTW fdpaq----I respect you as well---if I didn't, I wouldn't bother debating you. Plus, every now and then we DO agree on SOMETHING
We're by no means rich. But I understood what you were saying. If the 3,5 or 7 dollars is going to be their breaking point, then TV may not be for them.
And yes, it's chump change to us as well. You can spend $7 on 1 drink at Starbucks.

Prices are going up everywhere, our amenity fee is no exception. Just a fact of life. Not everywhere is affordable for everyone. Just like we can't afford to live in Naples.
