Quote: Fat Boy "Everyone's entitled to their opinion but I think your analogy (above) is a little flawed.
I agree that if you were to go to a restaurant and have a bad meal then you'd be unlikely to go back, but if you were to regularly go to the same restaurant but sometimes you were served a two Michelin Stared meal and others a BigMac and fries but you'd never know which you were to get it'd be a tad frustrating.
With restaurants, cinemas, holidays etc you can pre-empt the value you are going to get to a certain extent. For example it'd be unlikely that you'd be served a poor meal at the Fat Duck or spend £3K on a cruise aboard the QEII and I doubt you'd dirty sheets on your bed.
With the Rhinos you never know which team is going to turn up, one day it's Côte de bœuf, the next Findus Crispy Pancakes.'"
For the analogy to work properly you'd have to be asked to pay for 14 meals in one single payment in November of this year and then only be able to visit the restaurant twice a month at which point the rest of your analogy kicks in and you hope for gourmet rather than burger.
