I'm seeing it more and more. Little "processing fees" here and there, some tied to COVID, some tied to credit cards. There needs to be a clap-back against this behavior.

The number of places trying to suddenly add or expect an 18% tip or something infuriates me.

Like, why the fuck are you making me suddenly opt out of an 18% tip, Subway? What the fuck would that be for? And after your prices have gone up like 50% in 3 years already??

And I'm sure a bunch of morons pay it, which is why more and more places are pushing it.

How about a "convenience fee" for making an online payment. Why should I pay a fee to make the transaction more convenient for the company who no longer has to pay an employee to take the payment in person?
