Sure. But that they are only 90 times better than an AA f lounge or 85 times better than a BA J lounge or 80 times better than the BA F lounge (I still shudder when I think how bad their salt beef sandwich was, much less the truly dire "burger") still leaves them better. It just seems folks get really hung up on not paying for something (lounge food) that probable has a retail value of $5. Seems weird to me. I mean, if I offered you a free Swanson's TV dinner (aged on a steam table after re-heating), would that be something that got you as excited as lounge food gets many? It is just odd to place such a high value on something that, in normal life, many of us wouldn't think twice about.

That being said, there is a convenience factor to eating in the lounge, but if the food is gross (as it so often is), you end up in the same place - eating in the food court.
