If listing every fee is too hard then there should be less fees.

This. They don't have trouble listing them when they are demanding payment for them

“We spent years creating nonsense fees that we cant even explain! Being honest to consumers will cut into our profits!”

What a country. Don’t even need to explain or list out charges. What kind of response is that even. “Hey what’s this charge?” Iono man, can’t be assed to find out just pay us!

Again, amazing country.

????

You're saying this when they're literally stopping companies from charging hidden fees?

What a country, protecting their citizens from companies. How dare they

Why do they even NEED to step in. How do you charge someone and not tell them? How do you not see the insanity there.

And y’all are hung up on the fact the police are doing their job and missing the forest for the trees.

It shouldn’t be “hey please print out your fees” but rather so you were caught just making up shit and charging whatever. Yeah that’s illegal. So here’s a giant ass fine. Pay everyone back. And another fine.

How is that getting lost???

Can't wait for the new $5 "fee explanation" fee.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

As long as it’s properly documented I don’t see any issues.

Can’t wait to see how much I’ve been paying for the “CEO Yacht Maintenance Fee” each month!

I think you mean the enterprise logistics upkeep management surcharge

"OK Jerry, so we can comply with this one really easily, so why dont we pretend to whine about it so you can dunk on us and look good to everyone?"

"Sounds like a plan Tim, see you for golf tomorrow."

I'm so jaded this is all I can imagine when good news breaks...
