15 cent an item surcharge for every minute you wait in line at the grocery store.
Or, go to the gourmet market down the street that's not as busy -- it's more expensive, but lines are shorter.
Bus crash? 10k added to emergency room bills that day.
Would it be better to force every emergency room visit to cost $40 regardless of whether it's an emergency? Then the guy that's in the bus crash has to wait hours behind every stubbed toe to get service. ER visits are expensive which naturally reduces demand.
crank those restaurant prices through the roof for dinner.
Isn't that what "lunch specials" are? Take a look at the prices between the lunch menu and dinner menu at any restaurant. If eating at a restaurant was the only way you could get food, wouldn't you rather pay 5X the price to get a meal now versus waiting hours for a table?
