There is no competition in a lot of airports. I believe that OTG manages all of the concessions at EWR. There are a lot of options, but there’s no price competition as they’re all run by the same company.



Let me take a moment to remind everyone that OTG is the monopolistic food distributor that puts ipads as sales points in _all_ seating at the gates in JFK - not just the restaurant seating. If you want to sit at your gate, you must be advertised to.

When I've turned the ipad around or covered the ipad's camera with a napkin, a worker has come by and forced me to face the ipad's camera back at me, even if I'm not buying anything. Dystopian.


This sort of thing is a big part of why flying is simply hell.

Time to start carrying a bit of electrical tape to put over the cameras.


Say no and keep sitting there. Will police be called?


Yep, it's not even price-fixing if they all got together and sold XYZ for the same price.
