Why do people get so irate about $5????

Totally understand where the customer is coming from.
I don't mind paying a little bit more to support local businesses, but it really pisses me off when they try and rake the customer over the coals. I feel like I am trying to be taken advantage of.
Mind you, I normally don't make a big deal out of it, I just avoid going back and let everyone I know how overpriced a place is instead.
