I have no idea how you think "15%+" is misleading. You can't simply ignore the + sign to make your case. That says the markup STARTS AT 15% and goes up from there. Also, the markup on store items wasn't 63%. That was after additional fees, tax, tip, etc. The markup was 42.8%.
- icebraining 10y agoI didn't ignore the plus sign, that's why I called it misleading and not outright fraud. There's an expectation that when a number is quoted, that the value is somewhere in its ballpark, otherwise it'd be completely meaningless: they say "it may be 15%+", which if you read it as a pure logical statement, it can literally be any amount. It's only meaningful because of that common expectation, which they are exploiting. Fair enough regarding the 42% vs 63%, though.
