Originally posted by @drewnogalYep, agreed. We fly a lot. Sometimes I just fancy a small bag of sweets to take to the aircraft. Sometimes not possible: in a lot of airports you either buy gargantuan, pillow-sized bags of m&m's, Haribo, mento's (all horrid) or nothing. I choose nothing.

The store assistants then have the cheek to ask for our boarding passes so that they can claim the tax back for the store.
