But this is business and I would wager that the majority of the public thinks this way. It's no different than any restaurant. A pizza joint changes $25 for a large pizza that has an actual cost of $5-$10 depending on ingredients. But then from the $15-20 profit the business owner has to pay for rent, equipment, staffing, licences, utilities, taxes... so the actual profit on that $25 pizza would probably be in the range of $2-5 after all that other stuff is taken into account.
The Flames ownership is taking probably a dollar from each beer, but at the volume they move they do just fine. As they should given what they have invested in the business.
