At the risk of a DY...T? (Do ya want to fly today?) I would be tempted to tell them "You overpaid rentacops must have more money than I do to waste on airside purchases. How about pull out your wallet and loan me a $20 so I can follow your suggestions? Better yet, why are you not handing out those nice $2000 FEMA credit cards like you did after Katrina? Put your money where your mouth is. Don't charge me $2.50 to insult me and tell me how to make travel more expensive for your convenience."
