Why VIP experiences are everywhere now | Cost of Living

From CBC News.

VIP perks are creeping into ski hills, concerts and everyday life — and it may be deepening the divide between the haves and have-mores. We dig into the rise of premium experiences.
We also examine why Canadians are paying a lot for French butter and how specialty grocers are turning luxury food into a goldmine. Also on the show, as Netflix and Paramount battle over Warner Bros., we explore what the fight could mean for the future of movies, streaming and the survival of the traditional theatre experience.
