Some festival-goers naturally set up picnics farther from the stage to enjoy their own bubble. It might be tough for die-hard fans, but the only thing we can really do is take a step back from the crowd.
It’s something we’ll have to learn to live with - why would a large company ever care about the well-being of its customers? “When people are closer, it’s almost like in a ‘bragging rights’ type of way.”Īchilles gets it.
