Not reasonable, perhaps, but theoretically understandable. The escalating price of just about everything implies an increase in value that, in most cases, is not delivered.

If you feel you are paying VIP prices, you may well expect to be treated like a VIP.

Decades of "enlightened self-interest" media propaganda and social media-driven idolization of "dark triad" bullshit culturally normalized this shit.
