  What’s the irony?

  Are we assuming that since this person purchases smoked salmon that they’re immune to, ignorant of, or in favor of lower purchasing power? Are we assuming this is a luxury purchase, so they are not entitled to slumming it up with the rest of us?

  Let this person just enjoy their fish, whatever little amount they’re getting for $10.

    Exactly.

    A little bit of prepackaged smoked salmon is not exactly a giant splurge.

      Agreed. That dudes argument gives me avocado toast vibes.

        LOL! Sometimes the avocados are on sale and we get more than we need. So, I decided to try this avocado toast thing everyone was talking about.

        It is good stuff!

      It’s just the cost of a banana!

      For all we know this is their luxury buy of the month.
