We passed an anti-price gouging law in Portland years ago that is simple and brilliant.

Every store inside the airport must sell items at the same price they’d be in a normal store inside city limits.

It’s a bit of a shock when you buy a bottle of water there for $2, then on your return trip it’s $8 somewhere else.

Every airport in every city should have this law.

@mathowie Is this a law, or an airport regulation? (The McDonald’s at PDX does not charge the same as every other McDonald’s in Portland. I’ve complained twice, to no avail.)
@Gregmaletic I assumed a law but I think it is just Port of Portland rules. They boast about it on their site here
