Not quite The Geezer, but getting there
While I have been unimpressed with Aramark in the 5 years its has been operating the concessions, it's still in this to make a profit. It makes its money by renting rooms and platform tents and by selling food and merchandise. I have not seen Aramark's contract with NPS, but I doubt that it includes a clause that says Aramark gets paid if its facilities can't open due to acts of God and the like. So I don't think the decision to keep White Wolf, Tuolumne Lodge, and the HSCs closed was something Aramark pushed for - I suspect that, if anything, Aramark argued to open things. It's also in Aramark's interest for the campgrounds to open, even though those are run by NPS, not Aramark, because more campers = more food and more t-shirts sold.
Regardless of the reasons, it's a huge bummer for everyone who loves visiting YNP that so many of the facilities will remain closed this summer.
It would be nice if the situation could be reassessed closer to summer, but is it feasible to hire a sufficient number of seasonal staff member so close to the opening date?
