Pink tax. Fat tax. Gay tax. Any non-” heterosexual white male” tax. Sound right for the MAGA nation.
That being said, charging for poundage, rather than number of people, DOES make sense in some cases.
I gave a friend that wears 4X. He broke two of our dining room chairs…just by sitting on them. We had to fix many others. He refuses to take responsibility — and cover the costs. If we charged him for sitting, that might make him less pass about his actions.
It’s stupid when they do that. Human purchases a product. Because humans as different than others human, they pay different prices for the EXACT SAME PRODUCT!
I looked in the shops on Mainstreet USA. I looked in other Magic Kingdom shops. I looked in Hollywood Studios shops. I looked in Epcot shops. I looked in Animal Kingdom shops. I looked in World of Disney at Disney Springs.
This would not go over well. I could just imagine being asked to step on a scale to determine my park admission! Being charged by the pound to enter ” The happiest place on earth”. I am definitely not over weight but would never consider visiting one of their parks for even toying with this idea. Greed just drives you that much closer to failure.
Having been a “victim” of sitting next to an obese person (more then once) on an airplane, I can tell you it is not fun. I paid for my seat and expect to have my whole seat during the flight. Not be pushed against and banged into the whole time. If you are an overweight person and know you are not going to fit in just one seat, please buy 2. Yes it’s more money. Maybe your money would be better spent on seeing a nutritionist or a dietician, or joining a gym. As someone who has done that, it is worth your time and money to take care of your health. You won’t be sorry. You just need to make up your mind to do it.
As a person of size, over 160 pounds, I am also over 6ft tall. Not everyone can be model-thin. If I fly, I fly with my husband or a friend so I don’t encrouch on other peoples’ space. HOWEVER…a lot of my height is in my legs. My knees generally hit the seat in front of me, preventing that seat from tilting back, literally. I can’t help that. But I have politely explained to whoever is in that seat the problem, and most are kind about it. The only problem I’ve ever had were skinny, short people who insisted on creating pain and suffering to someone of size because they are elitist- and don’t understand that many people of size are unable to become a ” normal” size due to genetic disease like heart or hormone problems. Body shaming is snobbish, elitist, selfishly miopic and rude.

Speaking of my friend:
I looked in the shops on Mainstreet USA. I looked in other Magic Kingdom shops. I looked in Hollywood Studios shops. I looked in Epcot shops. I looked in Animal Kingdom shops. I looked in World of Disney at Disney Springs.
NOTHING OVER 3X!

I’m a 6 ft 2 in male, if I weighed 160 lbs I would look like a skeleton and be in poor health just saying.

My sausage alone weighs over 40 lbs. No need for applause, ladies and gentlemen. I’m just saying.

Ridiculous. Weighing people. Absolutely ridiculous.👎

This is called discrimination against heavy people and I can say this, lawsuits are coming.

If they charge bigger people for a second seat, they better make sure the other cheek gets that seat and not be taken by someone who they overbooked.
