I know most of my players couldn't afford $5 a week, and none would afford same. While they spend that much on snacks alone, the snacks are NOT an option to abandon.
Theres this weird attitude among gamers that they can't afford 5 bucks, or a 25 dollar pdf is ludicrously expensive, then theyll spend 10 on snacks and 15 on movie tickets.
I get your point and your players may be like that, but they shouldnt be the target for an flgs. Its a store, not a charity, and they need to pay rent. Heck, i pay 20 just for an hour on a tennis court.
I also think its a matter if principle and priorities to many people since rhe gamers who say they can't affoed this stuff often have a new mobile phone on contract, pay for internet etc. Snacks themselves are a luxury, so you know they could bring a sandwhich from home and a sports bottle of water instead.
Not against you aramis erak, but ykur quote brings up what ive head many gamers says and i think its an attitude that needs to change.
