That's great! Deceptive pricing is so annoying. First time I had to rent a U-Haul, I quickly learned it does not cost $19.95. Not even close.

$19.95 for the privilege of paying us $0.75 a mile! Also, would you like a dolly for $75/day?

Did you pay to rent pads today to nit break your shit? Well they aren't in the truck, so all well. Sure we will take that off your bill wink wink.

Enjoy arguing with us for the money we said we would refund after doing a crazy stressful move!

All the vacation rental places are appalling. Cleaning few. Pool few. Resort fee. Service fee. Processing fee.

Restaurants are starting on the cash grab a few years back, mostly the ones owned by private equity firms. Mandatory service fee couched as a gratuity, which it most often isn't, so the guest and the servers get fucked.
