Arbitrary surcharges and fees. Like "5% to offset the rising minimum wage" bullshit restaurants are doing.

Stock trading.

I am fine with companies issuing stock and with people selling that stock back to the company. Everything else should be illegal.

Why wouldn't companies just set themselves up as the exchanges in that scenario?

non-consensual advertising (consensual being things like steam discovery queue, where I actively want to be advertised to), "lobbying" (bribing), fossil fuels and friends, gerrymandering (US), the electoral college (US), publically trading your company

Possibly controversial but prostitution. Allows for regulation and workplace safety. Would probably calm a lot of men down as well and help them focus on the more important aspects of getting into a relationship.

Edit: misread the title and thought it said "legal".
