It’s certainly one part of the profit equation as is increased prices. Unlike continued price increases, expense cutting isn’t meant to be interminable. It just establishes a new baseline."Slashing expenses" (overhead costs) is not profit. It is a short term boost to the bottom line. What happens in the next quarter? You slash expenses again? Reduce staff again and raise prices? That is not sustainable and the product/experience will diminish.
Not sure what you’re argument is. They’ve made it clear that raising prices to reduce and redistribute crowds while enabling cost reductions is a goal. A goal that will be tricky to manage correctly as there are too many variables and their sensitivity is probably not well understood. You can be sure that’s something they’re looking at.
You’re right about guest experience though. That’s already been proven out.
